At around 4:40 in the 1st episode of _The Quintessential Quintuplets_ , Uesugi
said that eating too much would make Itsuki gain weight, and then Itsuki get
pissed.

Isn't gaining weight as a teenage very normal? That's how your body develops.
Why was Itsuki annoyed?

Another example about gaining weight is from _Lucky Start_. At around 9:30 in
Episode 22, Konata said to Kagami, 'you will gain weight'. Then Kagami got
sad.

What's bad about gaining weight?


Well gain weight really just means get fat but...

Translation? In the manga Fuutarou says actually 'fat', not just weight. But
eh that's just my manga's translation.

Let's see the Japanese...

It says '太るぞ (ふとるぞ)' and then Itsuki says 'ふとっ...' (I think it's the small っ
not the large つ.)

P.S. I think Uesugi likes extra thicc girls, but I don't know if Fuutarou
likes extra thicc girls.
