    You don't gain weight from not eating...kinda the other way around.

    I don't know how you would expect to pile on weight if you aren't eating....

    Obviously when you start eating properly again you gain weight. It’s not good not to eat

    You gain weight if you eat more calories than your body needs. Obviously

    water weight and more waste because you're eating again. To actually put on fat you have to eat calories in excess of what your body needs maintenance wise.
