Do it, if you have a problem with binge eating it could do you wonders. I'm the opposite, even off meds I've always had a hard time gaining weight no matter how much I eat. It's probably the beetus that will get me with how much junk I munch on every time I use cannabis lol. I'm 6'2 170lbs
You dont need to gain weight
That's a first
why do you need to gain weight??? what you describe is a good functioning metabolism. only thing you can do is eat more protein and train to put on muscle, you will not gain fat until you purpoesfully break your metabolism.
Idk, maybe all the "you're too skinny" "you're anorexic" "you need a .milkshake" I've been hearing all my life.
But yeah muscle is the kind of weight I've tried to gain. In my early 20s I spent 6 days a week in thr gym for 6 months and only gained 15 lbs. I drank 4L of milk a day. I ate a breast of chicken every day. I took in as .any grams of protein per meal, as I weighed in lbs. I took mutant mass and farted it all out. It was exhausting. Then I started a new career, and life got too busy to keep at it, spending 2-3 hrs a day in traffic. It was just too much so I lost all that weight
you forgot fat ;-)
I mean, yeah a bit of fat would be neat too. But I find that just as hard to put on as muscle. Holy hell I don't think I could take in any more food than I already do, idk where it all goes!
there is a theory that lean mass hyperresponders only take what they need, while discarding what they dont need. so for you, calories in = calories out doesnt count at all.
no. you need fat AND protein to build muscle. the fat you eat doesnt get turned into fat; it gets turned into buildings blocks for your body. fat is hugely important in building all kinds of things. as is protein.
