Hello to everyone who reads this,
First of all, I just want to point out that I have searched "weight gain" and found few good posts, but most its people who are saying that they are
gaining weight and want to loose it.
I personally want to gain weight. It doesnt matter if its muscle or fat or whatever in between.
Right now I do not work out. I do however just recently (about a week) started doing pushups again and crunches (alternate every other day). I used to do around 200 or so a day of each. Not at the same time, but maybe 7 or so sets of 30.
Anyways, thats my so called "fitness" report. Now, about the weight.
I am m/22years/5'10/145lbs. Im what you call pretty skinny. I believe I have
high metabolism (never been brought up with a doc).
For about a week I have started to try to "really" gain weight. Before it was, whatever I eat, no big deal. I have about 3 meals a day, plus 1 snack or so. I read that I need 5-6 meals a day, and thats what Im planning on doing. I guess to gain weight I would need to eat 15X145lbs + 500 extra cal=2675 cal. Thats just the number I came up with searching the forum today. I could be wrong. I read that you need to multiplay ur weight by 12 to diet, so i figured 15 for gain weight.
This past week Ive been eating 2 whole eggs, or good bowl of cereal with 3.25% milk for breakfast. For launch I would have 2-3 midium potatoes microwaved for about 7 min and than peeled and I added maybe 1 or 2 tblsps of mayo to it. I would eat that with salad, and salad dressing. For dinner, I would eat either 1 pckg of "instant noodles" with added 1 egg. Before bed I would eat maybe good 2 cups of chocolate ice cream.
I have few questions, and not sure how to really ask them. Now that Im typing this out, I see that this is not enough to gain weight, or is it? Also, I heard that potatoes make you loose weight, even though I heard they are high in carbs.
Also, my brother runs every morning, and I would like to also. If someone who is trying to gain weight, would running be alright? Couple miles?
I would like to add brown rice every day to my meals, would that be ok? Ricewise and is it better than white? Also, somewhat of important question. Is good amout of fiber for ppl who want to gain weight k? I love cereal, and in store they sell high fiber cereal, which has good amout of calories, Im curious if thats a no no for a weight gainer.
Please forgive for such a long post, but I REALLY needed to have this said. Because I weight like this (skinny), my self esteem is pretty bad. People say I look 5 years younger than I am. And Im afraid to go after some jobs because I would think people will think that I wont handle the job well because 1. I might look childish to them 2. Im skinny and skinny people should only push carts in grocery stores
Please help me out.
Thank you in advance!
