WTF Is going on with my weight?

[NP603]

I have stayed the same weight for about a month. I am eating 1.5 grams of protein and over 3500 calories. Everywhere i looked it said my BMI is around 2700 and with Extreme Activity it is around 3200 but yet im still not gaining.

One month time is nothing but for me I'm bulking and I gain 5 lbs in 3 weeks. I think you should up your calorie intake. Someone take more time to build muscle then others. What type of food are you eating?

[Opies]

eat more. Calorie calculators suck.

If you don't gain, increase calories. Rinse and repeat until you gain.

wow your metabolism is godly especially since your 21.
Wish my metabolism was like yours so I could eat more food.

Chances are you're not eating 3500 calories.

hmmm thats strange with your fats being so high i dont see how you couldnt be gaining at least a minimal amount unless not eating enough is the problem here. I agree with dude above youll wanna post what your days diet looks like so we can better help you because youve got me stumped bro lol...

Could you explain what you mean by your "BMI"? If you are referring to your body mass index (BMI) that is nothing more than a ratio between your height and weight and has nothing to due with caloric expenditure. If you are referring to your Basal metabolic rate (BMR) that would be the amount of Calories you would burn at rest, without including exercise. However, I doubt that it would be 2700 Calories.

In short, explain how you came about these numbers and how you calculated your total caloric intake. Guys have a tendency to over-predict their intakes.

unless you have a thyroid problem. If you truely can not gain weight with more and more food-i would see a doctor, there can be something more going on-which can be serious.

But for now, eat up sonn

[Resisthrive]

Post fitday.com proof that you are indeed eating that much.

[hrdgain3r89]

Inb4 "jar of peanut butter a day brah"

[NP603]

ok well this is the other day. when you see a not so healthy meal that is lunch time because i was at work and all there is, is beach food.





Note if you look at the graph some days arent logged or have 4000 calories, Sometimes i stop keeping track but i didnt stop eating at that point i just stopped tracking them

[hrdgain3r89]

First off, when you log in the "homemade" mac and cheese are you sure of the exact macros of the meal? Same goes for the Dominos pizza the serving seems pretty vague just be sure youre not totaling in more than youre eating.

As for the rest of your diet, you seem to be taking in enough healthy fats, as for the rest id drop carbs a bit and up your protein intake by adding more meats and fish to your diet.

Sub out 1 of the yogurts for oats maybe and have you considered bringing along some tuna w/some whole grain bread when youre at work maybe? IF you are eating all of that then subbing out for oats and extra meats/proteins should do the trick.

Id suggest maybe making your own weight gain shake to take to work if tuna seems too inconvenient. Oats, natty pb, whey, milk, blend it up, easy take-along calories, bam.

good luck.

[hrdgain3r89]

Forgot to add, along with adding in more whole foods instead of just yogurt and juice i highly recommend egg whites, whole grain cereals, breads, and oats for breakfast. Youd also be better off subbing the fruit juice for real fruit if you have to have the sugars, the juices are more than likely nothing but sugary carbs that arent really necessary for your goals.

ya i usually have more protein this was kind of a bad day. But your right about the mac and cheese but i usually pick ones with the lowest calories. Like i don't have a slice of pizza and then put it in and i see one with 300 calories and one with 250, i usually would go with the 250 to make sure im not adding in calories i didnt eat. But Ya i usually have more protein than this around 215grams or so. But this is how i have been eating for past month or so and im not gaining at all. I am trying to do about 4000 calories now i just feel that me being so small and 21 i should have this much trouble gaining. I also sleep about 8 hours a night.
