Well, do you suppose they should be asking in kopitiam then? I just give my suggestion to those who are asking how they can gain their weight, if you don't agree with it, feel free to share your suggestion.
How do you know you're not eating enough? Simple really, if your current diet didn't make any shift in your current weight, it means you're not eating enough to gain weight. The thing is, after you're done counting the calories, you still need to eat to get that missing calorie.
From what I know, fat wouldn't be muscle no matter how much or less you eat it. Muscle came from protein. The size of you muscle may look bigger with fat covering it, but the actual muscle are not. The point of taking in less fat is only to give you a better idea of how big your muscle really is.
Eating fat doesn't mean it will directly becomes fat nor eating protein will directly makes your muscle bigger. That's where you are wrong and that's due to your simple minded approach of gaining weight.
I'll say that no one here in this section want to gain weight and transform themselves from skinny bone to skinny fat (I guess you do) just so that they'll appear bigger.
It seems that you can see the flaws of your method due to:
1. You are never a hardgainer before, you only lacks money and transportation to go and eat food.
2. You have appetite of normal people. Hardgainer have appetite comparable of a skinny girl. They can't eat much and them knowing the amount they need to eat each day will force them to eat more (emphasis on force).
3. You don't really care on the outcome. Be a skinny fat is far more worse than be a skinny person. Nothing good comes from being a skinny fat. It's like "Out of frying pan into the fire".
4. You don't bother gathering more knowledge because "It works" on you. Yes it does, but not on the others. The calorie counting method is tried and tested by thousands if not millions of hardgainers.
