Some people's bodies at various times in their lives seem to either refuse to incorporate consumed calories or waste them by some mechanism that isn't well understood. Everyone has known someone who is slim and eats a lot and isn't especially active.

But we apparently pretend this isn't true because it's unscientific, 3500 calories in a pound, and all that.

Yeah, I was consuming so much and was only moderately active, that I can't believe it was all going to growth. Much of that time I wasn't even getting taller, or gaining weight, just maintaining. All I can figure is my body was throwing away a lot of it, one way or another. Maybe I had very hungry gut bacteria, which I killed by accident, somehow. I dunno.
