Semen retention can make you fatter

Firstly I would like to say sorry for my bad English.

I have done 2 long semen retention streaks, the first one was 189 days and now I'm on day 86. The first one was 5 years ago, in 2021. In both streaks I gained a lot of muscle but also a lot of fat. I think the main reasons are that with every ejaculation you loose a relevant amount of KCAL, so if you eat the same as when you ejaculate regularly, your body Just don't consume as much kcal as before and it accumulates more fat and muscle.

The strength at the gym is incredible, I can lift a lot more weight than before, in only 3 months of Sr, I have progressed more in this months than in the last 2 years.

Also I think maybe I am eating more, maybe the brain substitutees the masturbation dopamine with more food, but at least I have not noticed and increment in the food eaten. Since now I will be very careful on the amount of food I eat daily. I am pretty sure the body needs less food while it's in SR.

Anyone with a similar experience? What do you think about? Am I getting crazy?
