A member asked:

Is it true that donating plasma causes weight gain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not exactly...: I don’t think that donating plasma is the actual cause of gaining weight. The thing is, eating more = weight gain, it’s trivial. So you could say that donating plasma increases your appetite. It’s up to you it you eat more or not.
