It seems like everyone has been calling me skinny recently. So, I check out my BMI and apparently I'm "dangerously underweight" even though I rounded up my weight to the nearest stone lol. Then, I realise that I slept past breakfast and lunch only eating dinner today, which was a pizza. Well obviously I won't gain weight with that diet, you're all fat North Americans though so you should be able to help me gain weight. So, can someone give meal suggestions? I don't know what to buy, has to be something from Tesco maybe Iceland. Just spam me a shit load of different meals, cause all I can come up with is chicken and pasta. (don't give me something hard to cook) I'll post what I ate at the end of the week. Tell me if that's enough calories.
When I went into the Navy, I was 3 inches shorter than you and about 6 lbs. heavier, and they told me if I had been 3 lbs. lighter they would have rejected me. I always ate more than my friends, but I didn't really start gaining weight until my mid-30s. Now I weigh about 14.3 st.
Ooh, why haven't I heard your Navy stories before? Yeah, I want to join the army in a few years so I've got to be a good weight for that. Hard to imagine me reaching the 10 stone mark though
I’m the same. Or was the same. “Dangerously” underweight until I hit mid 20s. Idk what to eat, I’m having a block of cheese for dinner.
You never asked. I would suggest seeking professional help for weight gain. A dietician should be able to tailor a program to fit your specific needs. If that's not feasible, then an exercise regimen and lots of carbs/protein would be what I would recommend, but I can tell you that didn't work for me. I got in much better shape, but I really only put on about 10 lbs.
I'm in waaay better shape than last year, but I've lost weight. I just trick girls into thinking my ribs are abs. How much do dieticians cost?
I really have no idea about the cost of a dietician. It was somewhat satisfying when after I gained weight, I noticed when I opened doors, the doors came to me rather than me being pulled to the door.
What kind of work out are you on? Because when I was a tiny guy(still tiny but gained muscle eventually) I had to stop doing so much cardio and increased my weight lifting. Also I’d do push ups like crazy. But I also began carb loading and drinking shakes.
I like pizza mozzarella, but I don't eat the whole block at a time just a slice here and there to curb cravings
I don't really have a plan. I go 4/5 times a week. 1 chest day, 1 leg day (squats suck for lanky people), 1 all the other shit day. I just alternate between these. Tbh I don't even know what carbs are, pasta is my guess.
Carbs is short for carbohydrates, and there are simple and complex carbs, such as sugars and starches. Pasta is starchy, as is rice, potatoes, etc.
Well no shit it's short for carbohydrates, I'm not a complete moron. But yeah, didn't know the other stuff lol
