Your metabolism or BMR(Basal metabolic rate) is directly influenced by your lean body mass index(how much you weigh minus the body fat). The leaner you are, meaning less body fat you have, the higher your metabolism will be. To slow it down, you need to increase your body fat percentage. One pound of fat is 3,500 calories. So, to gain one pound of fat a week, you need to consume 500 calories above your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) aka maintenance calories per day to reach 3,500 calories in a 7 day span. Because 3,500 divided by 7 is 500.
By my calculations, you being a male at 5’11, 128lbs. Your BMR should be around 1,593. Assuming that you want to live a sedentary lifestyle, then your TDEE should be around 1,911 calories per day. So, to gain, you should be consuming 2,411 calories a day. Hopefully this helps
Exactly! can you like write how to do the math given activity levels and what not, I was always questioning how that effected the math.

It's called a TDEE calculator and they're invaluable to gaining weight when you have a fast metabolism. I used to think it was impossible because I was just thinking I needed to eat over 2,000 calories a day for the longest time. When in reality I needed to eat another 1,000 calories on top of that to gain weight. It's definitely possible to gain with a fast metabolism if just might take a bit longer and take quite a bit more food
That’s what it’s called! I couldn’t quite pin it down in my head good lookin.

There’s websites online that will do the calculations on how many calories you need to consume to maintain your weight depending on your size and activity level, so long as you exceed this threshold of calories you will gain weight. People say you need 2000 calories per day but that isn’t the math given somones relative size and activity level.
Your body will always burn x amount of calories and you need to exceed that to gain it’s really that simple, that X factor is your metabolism. There’s no trick, unless you have like metabolic or hormonal issues.
And yes it will change as your body changes but you’ll need more calories to maintain your weight at higher weights.
Should you wait? It’s up to you it can be expensive, but worth being a big fatty imo haha

because it implies that they were digging through threads and threads of content
...
There is a plethora of ways to seek a post. There is a search function, then you can also access them from profiles' activity pages, etc.
But even if someone were to dig into it...
...
it just is and it’s kinda spooky.

Why is that the case? Spooky because someone got an interest which makes them search through the forums? I really dont think it’s spooky!
Because we don’t know what else is down there and I’m using a cave or a deep ocean as a metaphor? Jeez it’s not that serious.

It’s just odd when a thread gets brought up from the depths because it implies that they were digging through threads and threads of content, as a digital apocryphal text. Unseen by humans since the last it was posted on 7 8 9 years ago from a thread from 11 years ago.
It’s neither right nor wrong it just is and it’s kinda spooky. What else is lurking down there?

Downer is relative. Ive read a ton of calls comments you're not downers. Y'all speak from tru life experience n for 99% of it its refreshing. N ya the OP ha stated that question many a time in my lurking journeys. Its all relative with obesity, some people handle it in some ways some in others. There are never ever two people who handle it the same way.. Yet back on my ramble munchies n a beast are just stating stuff that is tru, sometimes ya dig it other times ya dont.. yet hardy Debbie downers...now I want a lil Debby coffee cake lol
Thanks! Lil Debby W. I like zebra cakes

cows are just loaded up with steroids, it’s why people sometimes gain a bunch of weight while taking steroids to recover from illnesses.
It’s what would happen if you took some steroids without working out as well.
