I definitely have an eating disorder of sorts and can essentially as much as I want without getting full (probably top out around 20 hot dogs). My stomach expands well so I can eat more than everyone else, even as at am half their size. Its generally limited that via tracking on calorie app and a strict diet but on vacation I went a bit crazy; not as bad as the past but there was a 4,000 calorie meal at McDonalds after they gave me too much food (oops, an extra Big Mac meal, no choice but to eat it!).
Noticed the same thing about power; no matter if I'm 170 or 140, my FTP is more or less the same depending on my CTL.
In general, if the body weight or more conservatively, body mass goes down VO2 max goes up - (ml of O2 consumed)/ body weight/mass).
