Good to know thank you
You should try a pro-metabolic dietIs it saying the foods on the top are the ones i should eat more of?
im trying to gain weight with healthy stuff like nuts, peanut butter, potatoes, cause theyre high in calories. i eat fastfood sometimes but it worries me cause I know its bad for like every part of your body
That's right, these foods support energy metabolism and help thyroid function.
Nuts, legumes, peanuts and dried fruits, even if they are "caloric" foods, will not help you because they have a high content of PUFAS and are antimetabolic. I know this because I was there... when I thought I would gain weight that way, I did not.
This is terrible advice, it's all about gaining lean mass. Not about being a horrible fat guy.
I struggled with it too, I thought it was just impossible for me to gain weight, that was until I started going to the gym. I used to never really care for eating. I didn't have an eating disorder. I'd just forget to eat and didn't have much of an appetite, I could go a whole day without eating and only feel hungry midway through the second day, eating just felt like a chore at times. It's really not about having one large meal in a day, it's multiple meals dispersed throughout it and sticking to a regime every single day. As I ate more, my appetite increased and if I didn't eat or missed a meal I'd get hungry and be inclined to eat. I put on like 5kg in one month with the help of the gym, I felt brilliant. I don't have a gym in the current town I live in, so I lost weight again and got sucked back into the habit of not eating.
Calories and protein matter for that
Yeah but i dont really want to be unhealthy
Not fat, gain weight
still, specially given it is a women. Thats kinda of inversed mindset of Brazilians who have a natural curve and only focus on losing weight or getting bigger butts and legs.
I just want to gain muscle and be in healthy bmi range cause im a bit underweight lol
Im American & I think its better to have some muscle even as a women. I want to healthmaxx
Do you have the opposite problem? I guess its because you dont relate you don’t understand. Being underweight isnt a good thing though, its not really a good problem to have. I mean being underweight is unhealthy. Too bad not everyone is underweight?
When I was a child/teen I was extremely thin, the problem was I just didn't eat.
Yeah I mean if your overweight or underweight the problem usually comes down to you eat too much or too little
Buy some flavorless mass gainer and eat a diverse diet. Training will also help you look less skinny. If problems stay, see a doctor, there might be an issue like a parasite or something else.
