Putting on Weight

kash786 · 2 Sep 2011 at 12:09

Hello!

I'm 6ft 2" in height and weigh just under 10.5 stones, im quite underweight for my height. I've struggled for years with putting weight on, i eat well and don't even excersise as much as i used to!

Question is, has anyone here experienced this? If so, what have you tried to try and overcome?

Also, Does anybody know of any good high in calorie snack bars?

Eat lots of pizza.

Eat loads of chicken/pasta/veg/tuna, LOADS of it, then pump iron.

Drink a gallon of milk a day.

I could help you there as I have gained 2 stone since the start of July (not a good thing as I was overweight before).

Just laze about and eat loads of bread.

In short, you need to eat a lot more calories than you burn daily.

But I assume you want to gain muscle and not just get fat?

Beer. And lots of it.

Your "eating well" isn't actually eating well at all most likely.

Post what you eat in 1 day, as an example.

I DO have a GF

, so it's not about that, it's more of self-conscious thing!

Well theres your problem, I always had a nervous problem about food for some reason, got over it when i met my wife, my misses before didn't make me feel good truth be told that and she was anorexic... Do you actually eat a lot anyway?

Best thing to do i'd say is dont go mental on junk food just eat often that way your evenutally just will want to eat more and more.

NeverWinter · 2 Sep 2011 at 12:20

I haven't been to the gym properly in 2 months I feel like I've put on a stone...

I'm inclined to agree with Aedus;
