So what I get from reading is that once weight loss gets to a certain point and is catabolic, it's not about calories in anymore but takes on a life of its own. And this cachexic state might be because of a tumor, but not necessarily.

Chris has lost almost 15% of his pre-treatment body weight, and he did not have any extra weight to lose. He's lost a lot of muscle at this point. He's been on 100% tube feeding since pretty early on. He finished tx a few weeks ago.

I'm wondering when he might be expected to stop losing/start gaining, or is that all over the place depending on the person?
