I have always had a good appetite but since this virus thing started I can hardly wait for each of my three meals and find myself eating ANYTHING & EVERYTHING. Everything tastes delicious to me and despite eating like a starving lion I have not gained weight and have stayed at 6' 4" 185 lbs. I don't get it. I am not getting lots of exercise, just minimal walks with my walker every day.
Boredom and stress. They both provoke the feeling of being hungry and stress alone will either cause a rise in one’s metabolic rate or the exact opposite. If you’re eating more than usual and still remain the same weight with less or the same amount of exercise then there might be a slight rise in the metabolic rate. In answer to the question though, not any more and not any less either.
