> it doesn’t matter how little they eat they gain weight
A few thoughts in no particular order:
* Weight gain (of the adipose sort) is quite literally your body storing energy.
* Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. [citation needed]
* Unless your gut is performing nuclear physics, your energy intake is directly equivalent to the food you consume.
* Obesity is primarily a hunger problem - you're feeling hungry when you don't require additional calories.
* Some foods (ex broccoli, leafy greens) are nearly physically impossible to consume too many calories from.
* Some foods (ex macadamia nuts) are _incredibly easy_ to consume too many calories from.
