redeyes posted:So, I've been around 130lbs for most of my life, I am now 40. I am also 6 feet tall. Pretty much, I am very active, run, hike, more running, more hiking, dogs, etc. I am on my feet more than 8 hours a day working, and have a stand up computer desk/workplace. I guess, I probably burn a poo poo load of calories which brings me to my next point which is I really do eat food. Couple eggs and hams for breakfast, or oatmeal. Maybe some fruit shake. A burrito or sandwich for lunch, with chips or whatever, sometimes fruit. Usually some normal dinner, whatever. Then I snack all night. I definitely feel like I eat enough food. But maybe not. Doctors freak the gently caress out when they weigh me, so much so that I hate going. loving same BS, OMG YOU MIGHT DIE, BMI index said you are going to die. I was kind of in your situation, but not quite as much (6 feet, 140 lbs). I biked a lot, didn't have a car, and simply burned a lot of calories and never got bigger. At 33 I started to go to the gym. For the first year, I went to the gym three times every week. As for diet, I kept it pretty similar to before, but I added a big protein shake every evening. After that year was over, I had gained weight for the first time since I was a teenager, about 25 lbs in muscles. So yes, I think you're just eating normally, which keeps you at steady weight. The trick is to force yourself to eat more, even if you are not that hungry, and downing a big protein shake every evening before bed is a good way to make it a simple habit, rather than calculating your meals carefully. You say that you are not ok with milk, but there are various non-dairy alternatives out there, even if they won't be as caloric dense. But bottom line is: you just need to eat far more than you think you need when you want to gain weight. Trust me, I've been there. Another thing that helped me: eating two breakfasts. I ate one breakfast at home, before going to work. Then at 9.30 or so I'd microwave a big-rear end bowl of oatmeal. 2 dl oatmeal + 4 dl water, 2 minutes or so, Bob's your uncle. Just cram that down your face every morning, helps you get those extra calories without getting too much sugar and poo poo. lilljonas fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Mar 1, 2017 |
