After a year of caring for my diet I’m still stuck with BMI of 19 just like on day one - and my initial goal was getting to 23 in eight months, lmao. I tried everything from rice and pasta, dried fruit, lots of cheese to candies and cookies, if I only wasn’t allergic to nuts…
Getting to 2200 calories everyday was a chore, reaching 3000 took huge amount of effort, but I move too much and metabolise too fast for it to be enough. Nothing has changed, I only wasted my time on stressing about calories. Something tells me I must have intestinal parasites, because I cannot believe it otherwise. Becoming fat should be easy?? I guess it’s a miracle and I should be glad that I somehow grew A cups despite of this.
“eating healthy” is often a trap. You don’t need to completely exclude processed food and stuff if you want to gain fat and muscle, just make sure that most of your diet is healthy and includes veggies.
