I was rake thin until I started lifting weights with a buddy of mine at university. However it wasn't until I started GOMAD that I noticed any muscle and weight gain.

Before that I was eating crap. Lots of things that I that were high in calories but not enough of them throughout the day to exceed my metabolism or get close to the amount of protein I needed.

I think if you could go back in time and count the calories you probably were eating as much as you think.

Maybe lifting weights => Body actually uses and stores all food => Fat at 40?

Whereas a thin man who doesn’t do sports never gets really fat?

N=1, but visceral fat starts building up sometime after age 40 anyway. About 52, in my case.
