Sweetpapi:Hello FF!
Need advice/opinion
I started gaining 2 months ago at 110 lbs / 5'1
First month I was eating 4500kcal, I gained to 120lbs very fast and I was very happy 😊
Next month I raised my goal to 5500kcal and after whole month zero gain! Even in meantime dropping to 115-118lbs.
I'm eating normal meals + a lot of sweet snacks, and almost every evening some fastfood (pasta, kebab, burger) or if not, we make fat sweet cocktails with heavy cream, ice creams, nutella, various fruits etc. I'm also drinking at least liter of Pepsi, lemonade everyday.
I eat very often from waking up to going sleep, always a lot of sweets before and after a normal meal.
I'm not doing any heavy physical activity, only a little house and garden work.
I know that patience is needed
but I'm surprised that I eat 3 times as much as my caloric needs and I'm not gaining weight! 😞
So, should I change something in my eating habits? Am I omitting any significant ingredients which help gain weight? Or just eat even more calories...?
Thanks for any advices/opinions! ❤️
Ex-gainer here. I started off at 115 lbs. I am now 168. It took me over 5 years to get here. And a lot of that was due to my metabolism.
You can eat whatever you want, but if you have a high metabolism, it means nothing.
You just need to be patient. You haven't been at this for very long. Plus, your weight will fluxuate until it settles.
