    Yeah, Rob McElhenney thought it would be funny for Mac to gain and lose a bunch of weight with little to no explanation.

        He got absolutely stressed for one of the more recent seasons and was back to normal after that season as well

            There was an auto correct there. 'Stressed'should be 'shredded'. He got a MCU bod, and while describing the process later he talks about how not sustainable it is and if he didn't have a TV show budget to hire trainers and stuff it wouldn't not be possible.

      There's a bonus feature on the season 8 DVD about the process and there's an interview with Caitlin Olsen (Dee and Rob's wife IRL) "How did I feel about my husband intentionally gaining sixty pounds for a joke? Oh it was a treat, he started snoring really loud, sweating a lot and everything smelled like fast food. I'm sad to see him lose it."
