Gaining

Want to gain faster

So I've been eating as much as possible for about a month and a half. Some days I eat more then others but i make sure it's never less then 3500 calories a day, aiming for 4000 plus. I feel like my belly has gotten bigger but the numbers on the scale aren't moving much. Could I be losing muscle mass? What's the best advice to just blow up fast? Am I just being impatient?

I don’t know what the deal is because I feel the same way at times then there are times where I’m not eating much at all and the number on the scale just keeps going up

You are probably just impatent. It takes time to get fat. Also, your body can only process so much at a time. The rest gets flushed down the toilet.

How much have you gained? You may be gaining a decent amount, but have warped expectations.


A couple of things to keep in mind:

Fat isn't dense. You need quite a bit of fat to equal a pound.

If your body has a near constant supply of food, your metabolism will burn away more of the calories. You'll get fat, but not as fat as a person who eats more sporadically.
