Why Do I Eat So Much but Still Struggle to Gain Weight?

I can cook up to seven cups of rice and finish it in one day, yet I still do not gain weight. People who see me often assume I do not eat well, but the opposite is true. Because I work remotely and stay indoors most of the time, I cook around 11am and eat a large portion. About 30 minutes later, I go back for another plate. After resting for a couple of hours, I eat a third portion. Before 6pm, the food is almost gone and I am still craving more. Could boredom or staying idle indoors be causing this constant urge to eat? It is becoming expensive, and the amount I eat is starting to scare me. Has anyone experienced this, and what could be responsible?
