Methadone is a narcotic opiate, so in essence you need to think of it as a downer and that applies to every area of your body, including your metabolism.

Thus, the same healthy foods and the same amount of calories that you used to eat may be too much for your body while you're on it. So, you may need to lower your daily calorie and fat intake, as well as increase your amount of exercise.

How much do you eat in a day?
