how to put on weight

[Slave4akhirah]

how do you go about putting on weight on your arms and legs, but not your tummy?

[~Salma~]

I can eat anything n everything but I'm still underweight for my height. I'm happy with my weight people think I do exercises to keep myself fit, and ask me for tips lol. I've never exercised with the intention of staying fit. But I'm super active in my daily life.

I heard dates n milk make you gain weight. My mom is always making me eat dates with milk. Give that a try, and let me know how it goes.

[ceeri_sista]

Nuts are supposed to make you gain weight but they don't really work for me
(maybe you should have some every day though and I don't)
dried fruit
avocado did work for me so try that
and try drinking more fruit juice but not the kind with added sugar

dates didn't work for me at all!!! but it's sunnah and beneficial
keep a food journal and weigh yourself every week

I haven't read any of the post in this thread but simply put, If your calorie intake is greater than the amount you burn, you will gain weight and vice-versa.

are you calling me fat? dem deres fightin words

in nutrition science, endomorph = people who has a slow metabolism, i.e. their body's nutrient absorption efficiency is really really good. So every single food being consumed is absorped efficiently. that's why endomorph people easily gain weight even if they eat so little.

back in high school I had many endomorph girl friends, but they're not fat. Just curvy, and they're the body type what the guys considered as "desirable".

I wish I'm an endomorph like you. I'm very lazy to eat....If just staring at food makes me gain weight, that would make me happy for not having to eat so much

That's sooooo hard!!!

I have this app that keeps track of my calorie intake and how much I burn based on physical activity and every single day I keep going over my allowable intake. I get hungry a lot

Workout then. At rest, your muscles will burn more calories than fat.

If you don't wanna workout, you can do interval Cardio training. Its easy. That will burn fat long after you have worked out and it will also increase your metabolism so you can eat more.

so of them apps mind might not be reliable to work out exactly howe many calories your taking in and expending.

if its out by a bit you might just be taking in enough to maintain your weight but not enough to actually put any on.

''someone'' ahahahahhaha poor them

[noobz]

so how many did you eat of those in your 3 days?

i jz ate 5 of them in 1 day , with 3 plates of halwa .....

i've never felt so broken

[Contemplating..]

Ok, I've had this problem too all my life.
After years of trial and error I realised I could only do it by counting calories. It's very annoying at the beginning but soon you start kind of memorising how many calories are in x, y, z. Example: I know that a glass of whole milk has aprox 150 calories, a banana aprox 100, etc.

You need to eat a lot. And then some more. 6 times a day is ideal. 3 main meals, 3 snacks. It's hard but not impossible.

For me, having a LOT of dairy helped majorly. Cheese, milk, yogurt, milkshakes, ice cream.

I've had two successful attempts at gaining weight this way. First time I gained 5 lbs I think, then lost it cos of a busy schedule. 2nd time I gained something like 12lbs, kept it on for a good 5 or so months then unfortunately dropped down again . I will get back to it soon.

Anyway these are just a few pointers. I have loads more to say if you want to know, lots of links I could pm you (you're a sister, right?).
Let me know.

[noobz]

why is it that skinny people cant gain weight

and fat people cant loose weight

^ A lot of people just don't know how to go about it, where to start etc.

[noobz]

its cause i gained 5 kilos in like 2 weeks

Hmmm thanks
The issue with me is finding time to do it. The bit of free time that I do get just wanna relax

if its out by a bit you might just be taking in enough to maintain your weight but not enough to actually put any on.

Yeah just eating throughout the day and not necessarily unhealthy either except for the occasional Cinnabon that alone is more than half my daily allowable calorie intake!

[Slave4akhirah]

dont u wanna gain weight? if you dont, why you eatin like this??

[Slave4akhirah]

how is a cinnabon more than half your daily intake?! dont you eat??

[MoMo.]

Hmmm thanks

Alright, suite yourself. But you could be eating two Cinnabons a day without having to worry about calories if you trained, just imagine

[GuCcI]

how is a cinnabon more than half your daily intake?! dont you eat??

Of course I eat! I said its more than half of my ALLOWABLE daily intake

Alright, suite yourself. But you could be eating two Cinnabons a day without having to worry about calories if you trained, just imagine

Lol one in a month is good enough for me. Don't need two in a day!

[Slave4akhirah]

Of course I eat! I said its more than half of my ALLOWABLE daily intake

loool sis what i was meaning was if that is more than half, then you dont have much left by way of calories to intake, hence me saying dont you eat

out of curiousity, how many calories do you function on?


edit: just relised im presuming you have a cinnabon daily loooooooooool

[GuCcI]

A Cinnabon is over 800 calories eh.

I'm allowed around 1200-1300 calories in a day. If I skip dinner I stay under. Skipping lunch is impossible for me. I get hungry a lot considering I don't do physical activity.

Nope. 1 Cinnabon once a month. A treat to myself to make myself feel better

1200? That is just about 2/3 of the recommended intake for an adult. You need to eat dinner, not skip it! No wonder you are drained by like 7 pm.
