The nutrition and weight system dont make any sense

My character is constantly losing weight, even though I eat 4 times a day of pretty calorie-dense food (chips/chocolate, etc)
I have lost 8 kilos in 14 days!
How do I maintain my weight, am I supposed to eat two full pieces of butter every day?

If you only eat when you get a hunger moodle and you run around doing things all day you are probably at around -2000 calories or worse..

The system works just fine and makes sense. Where people go wrong is assuming they don't burn calories.
If all you do is sit at home and read books and watch TV... yes you don't really need much food.
When your daily life is more physical activity than the average professional athlete... you need to eat a lot.

Fish give good calories especially with a little butter , lard or oil.

if you are not running any mods, then i suggest taking nutritionist trait or in sandbox settings choose to not let food affect your weight. i use a mod to show me bars on my screen that tracks current calorie and weight so i can fine tune my foods:
