My bf's a gainer, he's struggling to gain more than 5 pounds a month. he want's to get to 15 a month, any advise on what to eat?
Think I’m gonna pin this post because I get asks like this quite a bit. I’ll do my best to help but everyone’s body is different. Here’s some tips:
1. I had a period from late March to early May where a friend helped me get some vhc boost (which I am very grateful for and could not thank them enough) and I ballooned from 228 to 242 in that time period. If you want to go that route you can but vhc boost is pretty rough to digest and cautionary tales on here have some weight. Still, VHC boost 2-3 times a day and you’re likely to gain a good 10 to 15 pounds pretty fast.
2. Be mindful of your calorie intake. It matters. Big time. Obviously some foods are heavier than others but I would shoot for 3000 calories a day to start. Some foods are really good like pasta, pizza, ice cream, many types of nuts are high calorie. Some foods are really not going to make a dent like chocolate, candy, sweets like that are not great weight gain inducers. Also add butter/cheese to more dishes that call for it or use them as alternatives. Drink whole milk.
3. This goes hand in hand with 2, limit movement. Be lazy. Take the elevator. With every movement, you burn calories. If you’re burning 1000, then you need to intake 4000 at least. This is kinda critical and you can get really accurate with how you track these things so that’s your call.
4. Liquor is bad if you’re trying to gain weight. Beer is good if you’re trying to gain weight. Weed is the best if you’re trying to gain weight. Do with that information what you will.
5. Drink your calories. Milkshakes. Weight gain shakes. High calorie coffee. Smoothies. Soda. Beer. Whole Milk. Whatever it is, I have found that drinking your calories is quite a bit easier than eating an absurd amount of food.
6. A note on apetamin: Apetamin 2-3 times a day before meals is a good way to eat more. It makes you feel like you can eat even if you’re pretty full so if you use it as a way to grow your appetite then it can be very useful. I’ve also noticed no side effects so it’s pretty safe to use.
8. I was so excited for this point that I skipped 7 because as a fat man who loves food, EAT. You need to eat/drink to gain weight. I did! And look at me now 😊
Edit: Apetamin can indeed make you drowsy. The first few times I took it that did seem prevalent. So a lil sleepiness is an expected side effect
Great gaining tips.
