A member asked:

Not gaining weight even after taking 3k calories/day and workout? any underlying medical condition could cause this like thyroid/malabsorb? plz help!

Yes: a careful history and physical are needed. Thyroid eval by exam and blood test also. Any medications or smoking or street drug usage should be discussed with your doctor.
