Gaining weight is not rocket science.

You just need to eat more calories that what your body burns

Elaborate further ?

Get proper prescription prior to using enhancement drugs . No, not gym bro "advices". Medical consultation by qualified individuals (ie. Doctors). These shouldn't be taken lightly .

i am a vegetarian trainee, train for 3 years BUT no obvious result. I hardly get suitable food to replace those you think it is important to eat...

Seek for advise to improve my situation....

Recipe for heart attack lah your breakfast. Clean up.

Eat clean. Meaning no processed crap, no roti canai/nasi lemak' teh tarik. Change this to rolled oats, or scrambled eggs on whole wheat toast/ omelettes with veges, protein pancakes with fresh fruit etc.


The weight you're gaining is 100% fat lah, as someone has already noted.

Hi,may i know what do you mean by eat clean? Saw lotsa advice to eat clean, but not too sure what does it mean. Care to elaborate more and maybe give few more example? Thanks in advance.

In short, it means eat unprocessed, natural food. Well as close as you can get tot he natural source.

No artificially sweetened stuff- read the food labels and nutrition info carefully.

Anything white - simple carbs. Switch over to brown (complex carbs). Eat more lean protein- chicken, fish.

Lots of vegetables, some fruit. Be careful of too much fruit, especially things like rambutans (try to avoid) as they're high in sugar. Watermelon, bananas, apples, oranges, papayas are good.

Learn how to cook and do ingredient substitutions. Recipes that ask for sour cream- replace with Greek Yogurt (examples).

If you like burgers, learn to make your own from scratch using fresh and lean food. If you liek desserts, try Greek yogurt, top it with fresh berries. Or slice a banana and eat with Natural PEanut Butter.

Replace potatoes with sweet potatoes or pumpkin. Eat more greens- spinach, kailan etc.

I cannot emphasise on the learn to cook part more.

Try Pinterest for recipe Ideas. Some food will be more expensive as they're imported, but trust me it'll be worth it.

Eating clean is complete BULLSH*T if your aim is to lose weight. Unless you wash ur food with detol , then yea that's "eating clean".

Losing weight wise = Eating clean doesnt make a difference, u can eat burgers and still lose weight.
HEALTH wise = yes it does affect ur health, ur cholestrol , blood sugar level , etc... will be affected.

Bottom line , eat moderately . Keep it balance , have a burger , a roti canai , it's fine .

Hi,
Thanks for the elaboration and examples. I got the idea. Appreciate it.

I'm try to gain weight and bulky. My current stats is 26yo dude, 172cm, 55kg.

Even to gain weight, you've to eat right. I'm in my early 30s, female (1.6m)and it is HARD for me to gain weight. Practically all my adult life, I've been hovering between 43-45 kilos.

Started eating much better and doing HIIT (Insanity Max 30, Focus T25 etc). Leaned out, got heavier but looked much better.

Go speak to someone who knows how to advise on your goals. If you've a friend who is passionate about nutrition & working out, he/she should be able to tell you what you should be doing.

He's trying to GAIN weight, not LOSE it.

And I know people who ate like crap while 'working out' to lose weight- didnt do jack shit. When I told them to eat properly (eat clean), they scoffed.

Cheat days are important. Dont overdo them, but it is a necessary thing. I do it. Damn man, I love pizza, especially thin crust hand-made kind. I could eat 3/4 of it in one sitting. That's saying a lot, if you look at my size.

Looool my bad . Anyways , same rule . Doesn't matter what u eat , you will still gain weight provided you track ur caloric intake . Health is otherwise , then again keep it balanced .

Amount of food > content of food.

hey,i used to have same problem as you. 179cm and my weight was only 52kg.

my friends always make fun of me and steal my food at school. lol as if i dont need food,im already so skinny.

anyway,the reason you are not gaining weight is because you dont enough. that simple.
you need to eat more calories than you burn in a day to gain weight.

if you only eat 60% of food a day,but your body burns 80%....

WHERE DOES THE 20% COME FROM?

your body will use your fat and muscle to burn as energy.

which equals to..... WEIGHT LOSS!

but..

if you eat 100% and you only burn 80%...

the extra 20% will be added as extra weight (fat or muscle depends on what you eat and if you exercise)

so the only way you can gain weight is to eat enough.

if you think you are already eating a lot.. THINK AGAIN!

You are not eating enough!if you were,then you would be gaining weight. right?
its logical.

if you think you eat a lot, stop thinking that. you need to keep thinking you are not eating enough.
double or triple whatever you are eating now.
you need to force your body to grow. if you dont, it will just adapt to the normal amounts of food you feed it.

i suggest counting your calories. this way you can really see if you are eating enough.
when i started counting my calories i realised i was only eating half of what i need to eat.

theres a lot of ways to count calories...

simply google what you are eating. example
Google: "calories in 1 cup uncooked rice"

or download some apps on your phone such as ' myfitnesspal"

after a while youll start to automatically know what you are eating and can estimate the amount of calories.

check out this article i wrote on how i gained weight and feel free to email me or contact me from my website,

all the best bro

TLDR: Calories in vs out

Anything that contain calorie can help you gain weight, IF you're on calorie surplus. If short, yes.

Ya. but not much. The calorie contains more lower than other Mass Gainer such as Optimum Nutrition.

Hope i did a good choice
