Gaining

One month test gaining/stuffing challenge

Easing up a bit today after last night's 4000+ calorie dinner with 650% of my daily recommended sugar and 475% of my daily recommended saturated fat (I think it was the first time I got a headache from too much sugar 😅). Been trying to eat a little healthier today, but I have a box of Minibons that's been calling my name and I've already had two. I figure another two probably couldn't hurt lol. 2500+ calories today isn't that unhealthy compared to the last few days of 5000-6500+ calories in a day. Honestly, depending on how the rest of this 30 day challenge goes, I might just say, "screw it," and gain until my next physical in November.

Yeah Learned that too. The eagerness of gaining can sometime be a trap. It's sometimes good to listen to your body and slow down. I opt for making sure I eat high calories meals even if I don't stuff myself. I also make sure all of the ingredients I use to cook at home are the highest calorie options, eg peanut butter cereal, butter, white bread, white rice etc. I do stuff occasionally and I make sure to drink weight gain shakes every night during my heavy cream cycles


Just wanted to add to this that nutrition is extremely important. A lot of people think that if you eat a lot or are very fat, it's impossible to be malnourished. That can't be further from the truth.

Your body needs a lot of different nutrients to function properly. If you don't get everything you need, you're body won't be able to function as it should. On top of all that, high-fat diets can make it harder to absorb things correctly.

So, it's extremely important to proceed with caution.

I know I've been taking multivitamins more frequently than I used to and I periodically take a break from eating a bunch of fast food to eat a bit healthier. I definitely have been eating less healthy than I used to though (it comes with eating 5000-6500+ calories most days since starting my gaining challenge). I'll probably ease up a bit at the end of the challenge, but it's seeming more and more likely I'll never go back to eating how I did before the challenge (or be the size I was before the challenge lol).

That's fine if you never go back to how you used to eat. I'm simply cautioning you about the quality of the foods you eat.

Have you ever spoken to someone on a mostly fast food diet? Especially if you knew them before they started eating that way? There's a major change in their personality and cognitive skills. A friend of mine calls it "Fast Food Brain Rot" or "FFBR" for short. Simply put, when the brain doesn't get the nutrition it needs, you get behavioral changes and brain fog. Usually goes away when you start to eat better.

It's been great that, even on days where I ease off gaining, I still find a way to get a decent bit of calories and I love the fact that I've gotten into the mindset of, "well, I can't let this /dessert snack go to waste so I might as well eat it." I've noticed my mindset has alternated between trying to intentionally gain and, on days where I try to take it easier, it's like a, "well might as well eat this," mindset. It's kind of a dangerous combo lol.

Today was supposed to be a "light" day, I ended up eating 4000-5000 calories. Oops 😅

Eating a "2 can dine" from Popeye's and only feeling a bit overstuffed has me realizing that I'm getting pretty close to eating food meant for two people as my typical meal. If I keep doing that, I'll probably end up the size of two people 😅.

So I took a break after my 30 day stuffing/gaining challenge and it seems like I set my new baseline weight so that it's now hovering around 169-172 lbs. I wonder what would happen if I decided to do another 30 day challenge? 🤔 lol

If you do another 30 day challenge, maybe don't go as hard as you did the first time. Work up to that level of intensity.
