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 am not dieing that I know of. So, I figure maybe I should look into more calorie dense foods. The big catch is me and milk do not get along. This means most of the OMG WEIGHT GAIN 5000 poo poo is no bueno. It's all based on milk proteins and I have tried some and it hosed me up pretty good . Maybe goons have some ideas what the hell i can do to not look like I just vacationed in Auschwitz.

Phraggah posted:OP it's probably a bad idea to seek major changes in your weight without consulting a doctor no matter how much your image bothers you. If you've had the same BMI your whole life you should probably tell that to your doctors. If you seek to gain weight ask them their advice or to refer you to a nutritionist or w/e. If you don't believe the advice of your normal doctor, get a second opinion. If they both tell you the same thing, maybe you should take their advice into consideration?? I don't think its worth overthinking. I don't trust doctors anyhow. I'm not talking about going vegetarian or something, just eating more dense foods, maybe some supplements that aren't milk based.

I am not a weak person. 10 or 20 lbs won't be a big deal. When I hike I usually take at least 10 lbs of stuff in my pack. Just have a hard time gaining weight is all.

Loco posted:Jesus christ, no one's mentioned weight lifting yet? OP I strongly recommend weight lifting. Combined with increased eating, you'll gain weight in no time. Your body will also gain definition and functional strength, so you won't throw your back out next time you have to reach for that heavy box on the top shelf at an awkward angle. I have a good weight set. I find myself tired as hell and need more energy for anything like working out but this is my goal. I have lifted off and on over the years but nothing enough to build bulk, just get stronger in general. So then I have tried various protein powders and most of them gave me lactose problems. I actually just ordered some of the Carnivore beef protein based protein powder. Figure, why not, it seems different enough to maybe not mess with my guts. Worst case is I throw it out. Any other suggestions in terms of calorie dense foods? Or should I just head over to that thread.

Loco posted:Wait, are you saying you find yourself tired before working out? That is strange, if so, and may be something to be concerned about. I guess I should be specific, I work a LOT. Almost never sit down. Thats how I get tired, its not from doing nothing trust me. Thanks for the links, I will check these out.
