5000-7000kcal a day is pathological. I promise that if you have a discussion with a psychologist that specializes in eating disorders, it will be a productive conversation. Just as a benchmark, I run 13 miles a week and my maintenance is only 3500kcal, and I have a hard time making that most days.

Because some of the foods you eat are physically heavy. I've found that the more nutrient-dense and low calorie the food is, the more it physically weighs because there's a bunch of water in it. Drink a bottle of water and you just gained a pound without consuming one calorie. For OP, meal timing is irrelevant unless…

You *have to* weigh yourself in the morning after you've been to the bathroom and had your shower, or it's categorically invalid. That's what I was told, that's what I lived by when I lost my weight. A tall glass of water weighs about a pound.
