Weight Gaining Plan, Imitation is the highest form of flattery Options

[MrStrife]

I used to have some meat on me but after working 2 jobs for a while and not having enough sleep, my appetite has been almost demolished. Thing is I've had a high metabolism and always been active. But I've lost about 10-15 lbs. (and I used to be 130 lbs.) and I feel so drained/weak energywise and my mind feels so durr. Please help me.

(1) Protein- You need to ingest at least 0.6 to 1 g per POUND per day. In your case, you're looking at about (115*.6) 69-115 grams of protein per day. The easiest way to take in that much protein is to procure some flavored whey.

(2) Furthermore, you HAVE to make time to go to the gym. Without exerting your muscles, gaining weight (at least lean muscle mass) is going to be nearly impossible.

that's a lot of protein.. try to find some way to take a break and relieve your stress, which can affect your weight.

Just make sure you consume more calories than you burn off, but make sure they're lean calories. like, red meat and starchy vegetables, not doughnuts and potato chips.

Agreed. Eating more junk food will wear you down even more.

... "Imitation is the highest form of flattery" Is that from The Office? Haha, when Dwight is talking to Jim in the Product Recall episode? If not, sure reminded me of it, haha.

I can relate. It's the summer and I'm not currently taking dance classes, and I really don't want to start to lose weight

But from what I've heard, working your muscles and getting lot's of protein is what will help you gain weight.

You can always try some Ensure PLUS as well.

I suppose just add a few hundred calories to your regular intake. If you go to a gym or something, I think they can measure how many calories you need everyday to remain the same weight. Just add 150+ to that number.
