Current Events > impossible to gain weight

(+) Yeah! (+)

i will be a 160 lb man forever

Could be worse. Consider yourself lucky.

you're just not trying hard enough

That's a good problem to have unless you are lifting and trying to gain mass. They have shakes for that btw.

It's insane to say it's nice for him to not have to worry about obesity when there is an all time high of negative health conditions involving excessive weight in the gen population?

Insane gains

You don't hear it as often because it's not true. Being fat is way worse for your health than being too skinny. You see anyone having heart disease and diabetes from being too skinny?

I would assume anorexia probably causes heart disease eventually

Try harder?

That's a decent example but also kind of a stretch because tc is talking about being kinda skinny, not having an eating disorder.

Anorexia =\= being unable to gain weight

I wish I was that thin >_> I'm like 25lbs overweight

Ambulance ass comes for us all. I feel you.

Unless you are extremely tall, 160 pounds is not underweight.

Eat a lot and lift heavy

Don't shy away from carbs

What a problem to have in a country of obese people.

160lbs isn't officially classified as "underweight" even if you're 6'5". Yes you will look like a twig and should eat a cheeseburger, but you aren't technically underweight even at that height

Not sure what's up with this faux concern from some people ITT about being "underweight". Probably the same people who complain about BMI being "misleading", even though it's perfectly fine for 90+% of people (i.e. anyone who isn't super short, super tall, or super buff). Do you realize just how few people "being underweight" actually applies to?

Y'all are just conditioned to the majority of people (in the US, at least) being overweight. Just because the average person is a fatass doesn't mean that's what's healthy

have you tried a particular invention called a burger

Yeah and I get full eating about half of a burger from 7/11 and it's only like 580 calories...so do the math bro. Liquid calories kinda work but i'm capped at like 2500 calories a day.

That's because you're eating a burger from 7/11. I have a hard time swallowing literal garbage too.

Just eat more

Just eat whenever you get bored. Thats what i do but im fat

Eat stuff dense with a ton of calories and fat like peanut butter and spam. Not together though. Stuff like a pepperoni calzone is gonna have over 1,000 calories also.

You are eating 2,500 calories a day at 160lb and not gaining weight, that's a bit odd. Thyroid problem maybe?

Active job. Mail courier.

Pepperoni calzones, double-bacon cheeseburgers, fried chicken.

Twinkies and ho-hos for dessert. (Deep-fried if available.)

And Mountain Dew for your drink.

Also, a double mocha-frappacino with whipped cream for your coffee. (3x daily)

And don't skimp on the fatback for breakfast! (fried, of course!)

With that diet, you'll be an overweight 360-lb man with chronic heart disease in no time at all!

Lol

How old are you? Metabolism slows as you get older.

Unless a doctor says something is wrong, you shouldn't worry about it.

Wtf 160# at 6'5'' WOULD be super skinny by literally any standard. BMI, IBW, etc.

Idk why you would post this without plugging it into a BMI calculator yourself

6'5" 160lbs = 19.0 BMI, which is on the lower end of the "Normal" weight range (18.5 to 24.9)

Skinny? Yes. Underweight? No

Just eat more.

But I'm full!

That's quitter's talk.

https://youtu.be/zkr0xeFT4nk?t=12

I went from 300lbs to 190 in about 7 months.

If I can do that, you can gain weight. No doubt.

You just have to eat more. When you're too full, eat a bit more.

Lift weights and eat at a surplus. You got this.

Unless you're uncommonly tall, it's hard not to see this as a secret brag topic >_>

Most of us are actually underweight or overweight. And it's impossible not to know this.

This feels like someone going to a cancer ward and complaining they have a cold lol.

I usually am the one to take all issues as individual things, but I found my limit....

Whatever you say buddy!

Typically the difference between a high and low metabolism is about 200 calories a day. It does make a difference but not as much as many people think.

Are you still talking to me? We can all still see the original exchange above, you were literally the first person to use the word "underweight" in this topic

If you're just bored and desperate for the last word, then by all means:

Do you ever stop projecting?

Wanna be more specific?

Or is this just another post where someone vaguely insults me but doesn't actually care if I receive the tools to be able to do better or be more self aware where they feel Im lacking. Cause those are incredibly annoying.

Also, saying some is projecting without specifics of how is basically just saying someone uses their own thoughts and habits as a reference point to judge others by. Which, before putting a negative spin on it is just saying someone feels like others are connected through similar life experiences. You gotta actually get to the insulting specifics for it to hit. Literally everyone projects stuff once in awhile. It's being human. I still don't see how that applies to that post tho. At most I just have a wrong perspective on most of us being underweight or overweight because I didn't actually take a head count.

Also this. No one believes me when I say me at 145 is not actually underweight, literally no one. It's feelings-based though, not fact-based. Like you say, they see fat people everywhere at all times and I fall outside of that. They short-circuit. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm
