If you’re hungry, you should eat. Either make your meals larger or snack on things between meals (protein bars/shakes, peanut butter, nuts, fruit). Especially if your goal is weight gain (which it should be), never go hungry.
Awesome…thanks guys. Also with this im hittin up the gym 3 times a week…
I do
Bench
Squats
Deads
and Rows…
Anything I should add? I am obviously starting low, as I have nearly no muscle as I lost most of it in the midst of my disease…all help is appreciated though.
damn. I got done lifting today, it was legs, and i got home and just couldnt stop eating. Needless to say I put down a gallon of milk, a box of Special K Protein cereal and about a cup of nuts…in addition to my meals.
Your not going to gain almost 100 lbs of fat over night. You need to eat a pretty nice quantity of food everyday as you lift hard to put on the muscle you want.
I’m also 6’ 4" and a little over 220 right now. Still have my six-pack (doesn’t really matter to me but just so you know where I’m coming from)
Have no fear of getting that fat again. You’re 4 inches taller now plus you’re lifting weights.
If you’re going to the gym consistently and getting stronger, obey your instinct to eat more. If you’re working out hard then you are just feeding your growing muscles.
You are very tall at this point, which means, despite the fact you have have lost tons of weight and are too thin, you are still a larged framed person. Much larger framed than when you were 15…your body will use calories, especially if you are lifting hard.
I used to be real fat too, trust me you’ll be happier being muscular and a little smooth than ‘skinny fat’ and sickly looking. At least I would assume so…I never had an ED so i don’t know what thats like.
Thats not meant as an insult, its the truth.
Keep lifting and eating hard. Watch the mirror. If you start to get too fat, DO NOT STOP EATING. Keep eating and just throw in some cardio to keep your metabolism kicking.
