          Welcome to the club. I was also a competitive swimmer and I don’t remember a moment where I wasn’t eating or swimming. Even stealth eating during class. But I could not breach 70kg. Covid got me just above 70 so now I am right in the middle of the normal BMI range.

          My swim trainer though. He stopped swimming but I think he forgot to stop chronically eating. He was probably above 150kg, so it could go either way.

          Interestingly enough, I’m the opposite. Stopped lifting weights, cycling and all the other physical activity I used to do, gained 30 kilos over the next 5 years. Joy of going from being a student to having a depressing job.

          The grazing habit stayed and the body for sure forgot how to burn 5000 kcal a day so even if I ate less than I used to, I still gained weight.
