You guys seem to love the weight gain posts. I get more encouraging comments about them than any other kind of content. I didn’t realize there were so many people out there who also struggled with gaining weight. I am planning on posting much more like this in the future!! I have to recook a lot of these meals though because when I took all of the pictures, I didn’t plan any to show what it could look like for weight gain so it will be a gradual process.

I’ve struggled with gaining weight for much of my adult life. When I was 18 and entering college I was 5’9”-5’10” 130lbs on a good day. Rail thin, very little muscle and I ate whatever I wanted. Today, 7 years later, I’m 25, 5’11” and a pretty consistent 175lbs. When I first started lifting weights, the weight came on pretty easy, as can be expected. People who are untrained will put on muscle extremely fast. Once I got to around 150lbs though, my progress noticeably slowed. And once I got to 160lbs it took more than just working out and intuitive eating for me to get any bigger. For all of you hardgainers, out there, I feel you. I have been there and I am still there. For me, going from 160-175lbs took a more scientific approach than just eating whatever I wanted. As I went through college and learned more about exercise physiology I became more knowledgeable about how to put on weight. I started tracking my calories and writing my workouts with an actual goal weight in mind. Tracking my calories was critical in putting on more weight. I found that I was not eating near enough as I should have been and that is cardinal sin number 1 when it comes to putting on weight. Tracking calories is tedious and annoying but it works and if you are struggling with either weight loss or weight gain I strongly recommend giving it a shot. .
