Sedantary jobs

Morbidly A Beast:
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, but people severally overestimate how many calories they burn doing their jobs for reference intense cardio workouts burn like as much as a Big Mac worth of calories ain’t no way your burning that much doing a fraction of the intensity. All this to say I work in a pretty demanding physical job and managed to gain weight just fine, the work is more exhausting now no doubt but putting on weight was a matter of calories in and I didn’t need to switch my job.


I also want to stress again that you should never switch jobs just to gain weight. If you like your job, it pays well, and you don't have a reason to switch jobs otherwise, stay where you are.

One of the reasons people get fat with sedentary jobs is stress. And the pay and benefits aren't always worth it.

This. The job I had where I gained 100+ pounds had lots of food around, but it was burning me out.

I used to deliver pizza. There were always mistakes sitting on the oven for us to nibble on. It was also pretty loose with us making snacks.

I'd avoid retail unless you know for certain you'll be idle, otherwise these days I'd expect people to be cross trained e.g. you may be on tills for one shift and stacking shelves the next.

I joke at my retail job that they could promote the place during peak as an alternative to gym membership.

This is especially true as many retail stores like Walmart have downsized their workforce. So you will probably end up walking several miles every single day.

Not all WFH call centers are created equally. Many are on demon time and will make you go crazy. The stress is often not worth it.

I have worked on retail but it's a very smal local business. So the only hindrance is my belly scraping the narrow hallways.

Although I have been looking into finding "work from home" jobs, on the case I ever consider pushing my gaining further.
