Eating 3-4000 cals a day but not gaining weight. not exercising. always used to put weight on quickly but not gaining now? is this normal?

Not normal: Are you sure you are eating 12, 000 calories a day? That's a lot of food, and i would expect a huge weight gain in someone who is not exercising. Please see your doctor.
