Is it possible to gain weight THIS fast?

[MaxRocks]

Okay I've been asking questions herelately regarding my weight-gainning diet that I started Monday. It's quite frustating at times and a bit repetitive and expensive, but anyways...

Before starting it, on Monday's morning, I weighted myself: 60.4kg. Since then I've been eating 2700-3000cals/day and just now, before my mid-afternoon snack, I went to weight myself again: 61.5!!! That's a 2lbs increase in 48 hours wth!!! I was expecting 1 or 2 lbs per WEEK.
Well anyways I was stunned but had my 600cals snack and when I came back the scale was strange (probably because I had just eaten). It showed 61.6 and then when I tried again it began flashing between 61.6 and 61.8 and it started giving me either one of those 2.

But even assuming the.2kg error margin it's still a gain of 1.5-2lbs in roughly 2 days. Just wth is this even possible?
Oh by the way if this is possible but is unhealthy somehow, idc ^^ I'm not eating any empty cals and as soon as I get to 75kg (which at this pace will be pretty soon) I'll cut down right away to 2000cals again just to mantain them.

Thanks everyone for answering in advance,

Ohh yes I always weighted with underwear on only so clothes (even socks) are not to blame

Its most likely water retention. Your body doesn't make fatty tissue THAT fast.

Why would you like to gain weight tho?
Are you looking for muscle gains , size gain or something? Cos the body can only synthesize protein so quickly , stuffing more than enough calories wouldn't make you get buff faster , you'll just get fat and doughy and then have to go through a PAINFUL cutting phase.

[MaxRocks]

Cause I'm too skinny for my height. And yea I'm lifting free weights pretty much everyday (except that on Monday I had to carry the grocery bag almost 4 miles and I already had trainned that day so now my arm is injured due to overtrainning :( had to rest yesterday and reduce intensity today, but yea pretty much muscle and size).

[EpicHam]

Don't lift... everyday.. you'll overtrain and burn muscle.
You don't build muscle in the gym , you build it at night when you sleep,
Farmer carry is good for strength building but you CAN'T rush size gaining.
At FASTEST your body can usually build on 30lbs of muscle a year.
The additional weight gain is usually just water , fat , glycogen , not really stuff you want to look like a pack of frozen sausages.

Get on ScoobyWorkShop and start training hard, eating right and being strong.

I dont train everyday I have a min of 2 rest days per week and I avoid trainning the same muscle 2 days in a row. Not my 1st time in the area and unfortunatelly not my first time with an injury :p Monday was just an accident I didn't count on.

"Eat right" tho is kinda subjective. To be honest I have no clue what to eat. So far I have been eating bananas (~115 cals), whole fat milk (300 cals), cereals (130cals), yogurt (113 cals), cereal bars of dried fruit (123cals), apples (60cals) and whole wheat bread (66cals/slice) with Nutella/Peanut Butter (100cals/slice). And doubling my ammount on meat and fish. I will soon enough introduce oat and nuts into this but I dont like them enough to do it just yet :p so I'm repeating this same foods everyday

[EpicHam]

You and Mr Tabasco sauce will be best friend soon enough

[MaxRocks]

Don't get it xD isn't that the chilly thing?
I don't like chilly foods

[EpicHam]

I didn't too.
5 months into the grueling grind. Tobasco sauce and herbs became my best friends in this tasteless and bland journey of egg white , chicken breast and legumes.

[MaxRocks]

Uhhh legumes nice one I was gonna buy that for dinner but forgot thanks for the reminder !!! ^^

And thanks for the sauce tip I'll try it out :) at least it's something different

[EpicHam]

Red kidney bean and assorted vegetables egg hash?

[MaxRocks]

Never had that before but it seems pretty good. But I have no red beans and the "traditional bean store" (when they are way cheaper than in the supermarket industry) is closed so maybe tomorrow :p

[MaxRocks]

Thanks for the suggestion by the way

[EpicHam]

cool beans

[BertMacklinFBI]

depends on what you ate. was it a lot of shit that's high in sodium? cause then you're gonna bloat like a mother fucker. and its also possible all the food you ate you didn't shit it all out yet before weigh in.

[MaxRocks]

Shit doesn't contain nutrients/cals. Only water :p
Puke does but I never puked

[BertMacklinFBI]

im not talking about nutrients in shit, you absorbed all of that obviously. im saying that if you still had shit in you then its gonna weigh you down bruh xD

[MaxRocks]

Aww that explains the.2kg thingy. But do you think 2lbs can come from my lunch that I ate 2hours before weighting :o

About the sodium I have no clue xD to be fair I only cared about the cals in all the purchases I've made thus far. Probably not the smartest approach but it's the faster one

[BertMacklinFBI]

well its possible to eat 2 lbs of food in one sitting so yeah if you didn't take a shit in between the time you ate your lunch and did weigh in then that could've definitely spiked the 2 lbs increase. after my protein shake and a meal I don't take a piss or shit and I go on the scale and I gained like 8 lbs lol. not a sight I like to see but I know whats up. and when your sodium intake is too high your body retains a lot of your water to balance things out so you gotta drink a lot of water to help flush out that extra sodium.

[MaxRocks]

Uhh I didn't know that thanks ^^ however I did shit before weighting. Once or twice :o

Gonna drink some water right neaw!

[Anonymous]

Yeah you can, I remember my friend done that I remember he was so skinny I'm his 50's kg now. Now in his 80's :P

[thong_taco]

yes its the best thing evar when i gain weight fast from eating to many tacos

[MaxRocks]

Well and here I am sacrificng myself to eat almonds and nuts and bread and bananas and whole fat milk everyday when I could just buy a ton of tacos :c

[BertMacklinFBI]

taco Tuesdays!

You literally have more food and water in your body.

3000 cals/day isn't a particularly aggressive weight gaining diet.

[MaxRocks]

Really? Kinda is. An additional 300cals per day - that is, aside from all those you burn - is what you need to get +1 pound (from "Nutrition for Dummies" - a bad rep collection but really informative books). You want to get your weight in lbs multiplied by 20 at least to gain weight (source: bodybuilding. com), which for me would be around 2600-2700.

And finally, the "aggressive weight diets" you are talking about are probably 3500 or 4000 right? Except those diets are only used by athletes in endurance training. Michael Phelps has a 4000cal diet... But he is Michael Phelps. I don't have a lifestyle nearly as active as his. I will raise my diet to 3500 only if by next Monday I am under 61kg, which is not very likely :p

[kheserthorpe]

Phelps was waaaaaaaaaay over 4000. But swimming in water burns huge calories because of the heat loss.

+300 per day might let you gain 2 lbs a month, maybe, depending on how it impacts your metabolism. But if you're lifting heavily, i'm not sure that you're actually eating a surprlus at 3k.
