I want to gain weight?

[Anonymous]

I know it sound like stupid, so many people nowadays are overweight, but I'm underweight. I'm 18 years old 180cm and about 61kg. My metabolism is fast as Ferrari. I can eat a lot.

So I've been working in gym for at least a year I gained definition, but no weight. I was eating at least 6 eggs a day, half a liter of milk in the morning, 150g spaghettis with 2 cans of tuna, school launch, cottage cheese, 2-3 bananas, etc.

Was anyone here skinny and he gained like 10 kg? I'm looking for all opinions, but if I'll find some ectomorphs here it's totally different training for ectomorphs.

For example Brendan Meyers (street workout athlete - he was skinny too about 58kg and 185cm his daily food meal is insane!!)

I was like this, especially around 17 years old. I was a STICK. this is what you do:
1. Lift weights 6 days a week, otherwise you'll get fat. You don't want to do that.
2. Eat every 2 or 3 hours. You may think you're eating a lot but you aren't eating enough.
3. Body weight in pounds * 1.2 = grams of protein to consume each day.
4. Eat as many fucking carbs as you can.
5. Drink a shitload of chocolate milk.
6. Go on bodybuilding. com and read everything

good luck!

I think u r on the right track. U just hav to eat lots of protein and reduce carbs. Carbs r still important, but reduce the intake a little. Also train heavy and do less cardio. Cardio will burn the mass u r gaining. Don't neglect cardio completely, but reduce it. Just google 'bulking for ectomorphs' and u should find heaps more info. Hope this helps a little.

It's about healthy lifestyle too.

Oh 😂 I didn't read that correctly then...

[dashyguydotcom]

but especially for people like me and you who have a very fast metabolism... welcome in the club... eating junk food is not as bad... i do bodybuilding too and i don't eat veggies all day.. if you want to bulk you gotta get your calories above your maintenance level..
I do that sometimes by eating a pizza or two... or put some extra ketchup into the spaghetti sauce.

If you want to bulk you will also get fat... cutting can come after you gained some muscle mass. You can't loose fat and maintain a lean, ripped body PLUS gaining weight.. it's impossible

[Asker]

yeah I agree, sometimes... I've seen bulking skinny guys on icecream too. It's like 1000 calories which is quite a lot. I get some fat to, damn.

I think in the question your addressing the situation wrong be a couple of people and are obviously not on the same page as you

I was like you when I was 18 (178cm, 60kg). These days I'm around 85-86kg. I have a really hard time pushing above 86kg, no matter how much I eat.

I take comfort in my pain by eating a lot of pho.

[Asker]

thanks for commenting. Yeah I'll do my best, but damn food is so expensive when you're bulking :/

[Klaatu51]

have u ever tried fattenin foods like pizzas and drink lots of sodas?

[Asker]

Damn where this opinions come from? It's not about junk food + I want a HEALTHY lifestyle.
