hi friend! i am also a hard gainer and i go to the gym all the time. i eat an obscene amount of protein and fat to gain weight. yogurt, cheese, butter, milk, some meat, salad dressing, sweets more than i enjoy like ice cream or doughnuts. tuna, oysters for snack protein.
more small meals through the day rather than one or two large meals helps.
i went from 155 to now 185 in a year. i also started working out about twice a week, sometimes more sometimes less. would love to talk your head off if you have questions
yeah this was a breakthrough realization for me, it doesn't feel like as much food if you spread each meal into a bunch of little snacks
something something one girl's starting point is another girl's goals smh
in all seriousness, congrats on managing to pack on the pounds, 30lbs in 1 year is no joke. if you don't mind me asking, how tall are you?
6'1 when i started, now like 5'11ish. yeah, i was really thin starting out 19BMI and now im around 24BMI. I was highly motivated to gain weight after i got support and started HRT.
oh wow, same height as me :)
yeah, starting HRT and knowing that any weight i gain would actually go where i wanted it made me finally get serious about putting on weight (despite my best efforts, i'm effectively a full-time jack skellington cosplayer with a BMI of 16). sadly putting on any weight at all has proven to be much more difficult than expected, but i'm steadily working up to my calorie goal, and have a newfound respect for anyone who has managed to pull it off :3
