lol.
gambateh... u can do it

i duno if this is the reason why i managed to gain a few kgs now, before i this, 2 months straight i eat like practically once a day, max is only twice a day. even if twice a day the other meal would be only like a snack.... then when i get a new job offer i eat back as usual my weight increase significantly. can anyone tell me do barely eatig for the past 2 months may effect n alter my metabolism rate?

go here and check ur fitness :
http://www.mensworkoutguide.com/fitness_calculator.html

but, based on your info, your BMI is less than 20.... hmm... your ideal weight is between 70-75kg.... hehehe...

u r like my friend... oso very skinny.... height same as u... weight 50kg.... he eat very much.... but still can't gain body.... haha... pity him... maybe his metabolism very high all the time.... huhuhu....

yes it can
and chances are, most of the weight you lose that way is muscle mass + fat, thats why its impossible to get in shape that way unless u've got genetics that are exceptional
your metabolism didnt go up, so if u start eating more again than its obvious u'll gain weight

Can I ask some questions about food to gain mass?

In the early morning, drink low fat milk, or oats with milk.

can we drink fruit bleeder in the early morning?
any suggestion?

Eat anything that you want. Thin people will hard to be fat. But make sure you workout hard. So that you build muscle not fat. Anybody seen 4.5% bodyfat with nice body ? It's on youtube. I will try to find it and post it here

As you said that try to eat everything as I want.
I mean we should eat proper food in the proper time?
Example; Can we eat Asam Laska in the early morning?
I think it is not good for stomach.
post the link for us. tq

Flex your forearm and measure the size of your elbow. Is it really smaller than other people? If so, then it is likely you have a "small frame". If not, then you are just skinny.


I feel ya. Im sorta recovering for a severe episode of idiopathic anorexia whereby I was 174cm/46kg!

Im 60kg now and feeling much better, and at 174cm my BMI should be about the same as yours.


Try measuring your food intake for a week and check your daily caloric consumption.

Maintain 2500+ calories with 50g of protein a day. As a rough guide, one large egg has 10g of protein and a pack of indomee has 400 calories.



Thin people may appear to "eat as much as they like", but in reality they are actually only consuming about ~1500cal a day.
It has nothing to do with metabolism!

But rather, their satiety mechanism. They eat alot, yes. But they feel full for hours after that. On the whole, overall, in a day, they are not eating enough.


I used to think i was eating enough with two slices of toast in the morning and a big, as much as I can eat, dinner. But when push came to shove, it was only about 1500 cal a day!

I had similar problems. This is my previous regime that you can follow it worked for me.

- 200 - 300 push ups a day
- 3 times a week to the gym, doing benches and other exercises.
- Took Creatine and Whey Protein. Bulked up on protein on before and after my exercise.

I gained 4-5 Kg over a 6 month period. I wish i could be more specific as to the exercises i followed but it's in one of my books at home and i'm too lazy to search for it.

Was pretty buff then, anyway for guys like us you would never really be able to see the difference at least for me unless we take out our shirts or wear sleeveless due to our/my small frame. At my peak you could see the difference but now, you can hardly see it. Of course i loss a few kg's after entering the hospital so i'm nowhere near normal let alone peak haha.

im 180 cm at 68kg

but my bone structure very good1..my ribs bigger than most ppl =P

make me look like got muscles...

anyway without beating around the bush..

1. Eat Chocolates before sleeping..[buy cheap cheap chocolates]
2. Eat more rice, less vege
3. Drink Milk.
4. Don't take super small snacks between meals..[take large ones]
->you dont want your Basal Metabolic rate to increase right?..or else use up more calories =P
5. Don't eat too oily la...still need to keep your heart healthy

happy fattening?..lol

yeah basically this guy's advice is good-bottomline is to just EAT

but i'm wondering do you just want to be BIG or do you want to be muscular big?

if you want big,,that's totally easy..eat like your life depens on it..snacks,suppers,teatime,fast food,meat,carbs-potatoes,rice,drinks. Hell, drink beer too.

if you want the good type of big,,where it's mostly good lean mass and not fat cholesterol high mass..then it'll be harder. I suggest going to a gym or taking up a sport because all those calories will turn to fat if not exercised. But from your situation, you could probably be those kind of peeps that burn calories without moving a muscle. So the most important is to just force feed yourself, i know a guy who burns more calories sitting down then a person going to gym everyday..touch his head and you'll think he has a fever when actually his body is going through metabolism.

damn, my progress a bit stagant lately....my weights hovers around 57.5-58kgs....

You spoke a lot of truth. All this while on average ive only been consuming 1500-1700kcal a day.

During my bulking phase i eat on average 2300-2700 per day.

Now my average dail calorie maintenance intake is around 2000-2100 kcal at 67.5 - 68kg

Interesting to see one posting after 14yrs!!!

Good that you are still keeping up your routine, and some good news with your weight.

Just take note that as we age, our metabolism reduces as well. hence for some, they tend to put on more weight.

Important thing is being healthy! Keep it up

Bro. Magically from end 2008 to mid 2022 my weight never changes

It wasnt until i started following a few gym freaks utuber that went from skinny to bodybuilder and follow their caloric suprlus advice, BMR, count every food calori intake daily jot down in my phone. That i managed to escape this 60kg weight the past 14 years .

Oh yeah i also hit the gym that helps me eating more.

If I remember correctly even back then you started caloric surplus right?

So what was the different in your current program?
Maybe it will help others as well

I do update in quite detail in this thread:

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/351343/+2700#entry107423351

TLDR:
Failure to jot down every little thing that i eat and drinks and its caloric value, means im assuming. When i start to assume i eat a lot.

Thats when i always fail. Last year my bulking success because im much more discipline. I jot down every little thing kcal intake everyday and sum it up. And it need to be 500kcal in surplus to my Basal metabolic Rate.

i am exactly like ur shape... 169cm weight 54kg when i was young..for so many years..... generally to add weight means like u already know more calorie surplus like extra 200 to 500 above ur basic need. e.g if 1500 then u need to hit 2000....
calculate ur macros.....i hit the gym and take mass gainer...but i only see real result when i ditch my mass gainer... and also found root cause to my hyper metabolism... once tat was fixed medically....
i was choping down 2 eggs morning n oats bread... then lunch is mix rice with vege and i purposely pack chic breast only from chic rice shop.... tea time usually just 2 loaf bread n milk..... then hit the gym (3 times a week) and protein shake after..... at nite just normal dinner at home....
once i am used to counting macros and tracking what i eat.... its easy to remember... don't over do it...
at one point my weight was 70kg..nicely build... my fren was surprise when see me in tight t shirt....
anyway now my weight is 63 65kg range.. maintenance mode....

wish u happy gaining and maintiaining...
