Gaining weight
    #9791460 -

I'll say a few things about myself before i get started with this thread.
Skinnyness runs in the family.
I'm a cross country/track runner.
I used to be a heroin addict.
Okay.
I'm 6 ft 140 lbs.
Recently i've noticed that my pants are starting to get looser and looser on me. I'm eating right, eating a lot of protein and working out.
I've been focusing on my abs/arms and i can see a great improvement. But I feel like i'm losing weight by doing so, as my pants don't fit right anymore.
Is there anything I can do?
I already eat healthily and work out.
i'm starting to see ribs again :sad:
I'm trying to gain weight, but it seems to be doing the opposite.

Most likely, you need to eat more calories more often. The best way to gain weight is to eat at least six times a day, so that you don't go more than 2-3 hours without eating.

Start eating a little less healthy? Or just increase your overall food intake. If you want to gain fat fast I think the best way would be like...snacking before bed and shit so the calories aren't burned away as much, or start drinking protien/weight gain shakes after workouts, that'll help put on muscle mass with minimal fat.

Yeah, i'm more interested in muscle than fat.
Guess i'll have to invest in those protein shakes. :drooling:

Yeah, basically the way it works is that if you go too long without eating, your body says "hey, we're not getting any more food, better slow down and start storing excess intake as fat for later," whereas if you have a more frequent intake, it sees no need to do this and will store more excess calories as muscle instead.

As for how many calories you need to eat every day, it varies from person to person based on your current body weight, level of activity, and metabolism.

Find out how many calories you are eating and eat five hundred to a thousand more a day. 3500 calories = a pound. So if you eat 500 more a day you'll gain a pound in a week. Drink alot of milk.

Stop focusing on abs and arms, you're not going to put on 40lbs there. Do big heavy compounds and eat like a monster. If you train hard enough you won't get fat and if your abs do get covered in a little fat then having more muscle mass will help you cut it off easily.

Training hard with heavy compounds + eating 4000 calories or more per day = You'll have to buy new pants before this summer. : )
