Look at manics like chris farley. he was overweight and you can imagine he had plenty of dopamine overload with or without illicit drugs. However, there could be a correlation if you assume high dopamine means high metabolism and lots of energy. I think high dopamine can mean high vigilance which means appetite suppression.Some skinny people may have thyroid problems.
hope you are doing well, linkadge!
