Apologies for the low resolution. It was a mobile ad and all I could get was a screenshot.

I'm not here to say what your experiences are. I just have some numbers. The total daily energy expenditure of the average male of that weight and height aged 18-30 who does intense exercise daily is around 3300 calories a day and this is on the high range which means if one were to consume 6000 calories a day and use 3300, they would still have 2700 calories still in their body. A pound of fat is about 3500 calories therefore at that rate you would gain approximately 23 pounds a month. I'm not arguing. Just saying the numbers don't add up.
"average" is doing a lot of lifting there. And, again you are assuming normal absorption of calories. The numbers don't add up because you aren't considering all the variables. What's the calorie need differential between an ectomorph and an endomorph? What role does hormone and thyroid play?
Yes, you are arguing. You might be using math but you are saying I wasn't me.
None. Somatotypes are a pseudoscience and have been completely debunked.
The difference between the “fastest” and “slowest” metabolism in healthy people of the same weight is at most 300kcal per day, which is significant, but couldn’t account for a missing ~3k surplus per day
There are however several conditions which cause the body to simply not to process food (malabsorption is the term to look up), which is what must have been happening to you.
It’s very common for people to misestimate their calories by massive amounts, which is why people are expressing doubts, but what you’re describing is a real thing that happens
The variables don't matter because even if they were included, they wouldn't make up for the lost calories. Oh well. It's not important.
Saying variables don't matter is cheating at math and taking a very simplified view of metabolism of food intake. It was very important to me when I was counting every calorie and tried to lose any weight because 5 lb could send me to the hospital.
