Answers:
In order to gain muscle weight from exercising you have to eat enough for your body to build up muscle. Anorexics don't eat enough for their body to function properly, let alone build muscle.Health Question & Answer
You need calories to build up the muscle.
They aren't eating enough for that, their body is actually already probably eating up their muscles just to function, when you dont' get enough food your body needs energy from somewhere so it eats itself basically. So when they exercise they just burn off more muscle/fat/whatever tissues they have left depending on how thin they are. Health Question & Answer

exercise doesn't cause weight gain, it's 100% diet, if you eat more than you burn, you gain weight (weights only dictate how much is muscle and how much is fat). cardio cause you to expend calories/lose weight
