Weight Gain: Why Am I Gaining Weight When I Barely Eat?

[jnewtrition]

Head over to the link in the bio to read the FULL article 🔝 I hear this all the time “I’m eating EVERYTHING and I can’t gain weight!” 🗣 So, I’ve broken it down for ya with the top 3 reasons you’re not gaining weight 💥 Reason #1: You think protein is the holy grail to weight gain. While it’s extremely important, it’s not everything. In fact, overconsuming protein is only increasing your calorie burn, which is like spinning your wheels. 👀 Reason #2: You’re not eating enough, but not literally. Yes, I fully understand it’s hard to eat MORE of the right foods. I’ve been there. I went from 163# as a sophomore in High School to 253# as collegiate football 🏈 player. But, you have to be smart and choose calorie dense foods that won’t “fill you up”. 💡 Reason #3: You’re not lifting enough. Volume and intensity means everything. Can you add more sets? How about lift the same weight for more reps? What about lift MORE weight for MORE reps? Get a spotter so you can feel safe about it and take 1-2 sets per body part to failure. 🔑 . . . . . #gainmuscle #buildmuscle #weightgain #bulking #getyourweightup #nutritiontips #nutritionmotivation #protein #howtogainweight #caloriedensefoods #calorieneeds #eatMore #liftmoreweight #volume #intensity #recommendations #registereddietitian #dietitian #rd #nutritioncoach #nutritioncounseling (at Santana Row)
