>Always wonder how people manage to gain weight so easily
>Have to force feed mysefl with a shit ton of food to reach 3500kcal, fail most of the time because my appetite is extremely low
>Be stressed one day, buy a small package of sweets, eat the whole package, don't even feel satiated
>That package has around 1100kcal
What the fuck, so this is how people get fat
Yeah sweet = fattening time goddamit
Meanwhile Hispanicy=shredding time goddammit.
With sweet you cant stop with very Hispanicy Hot shit YOU WANT TO STOP lol
you'd just acclimate to the Hispanice unless you autistically progressively overload Hispanice amounts
Will my anus acclimate?
It will actually
>autistically progressively overload Hispanice amounts
Kek
Its the exact opposite for me i love Hispanicy food and it makes me eat a lot
holy shit you're a genius
Yes. Combine it with literal raw meat and there you go. This is how fat people stay fat
How fat are you to have a 3500 cal gain goal?
6,1'
185lbs
15% body fat
I want to gain muscle before I cut, because I would just be skinny as hell if I cut now
Pastries is probably the easiest way to gain weight as they are full of vegetable oils and sugar
if you're gonna make a bad dietary decision at least go for the ones that are full of butter and sugar instead
Of course, but good luck finding those, almost every single pastry I look at in the store uses margarine and not butter
The pastry I usually eat has like 1g of vegetable oil and 2g of sugar
Former fat here
My family are all obese and they buy these big pastries like every week and it’s so hard to resist.
They don’t even taste good at all. I dislike the flavor but there’s so much fat and sugar it’s like shooting heroin.
Emotional eating.
Eating as a reward etc
It sucks and i suffer from it
Why don't you just stop buying shitty foods?
just stop jerking off
I know that feel, bro.
Have to tell myself that there's no point in using food as a comfort if I'm stressed or sad, because it'll just make me fat and stressed/sad, and then I'll really have something to be stressed about.
My biggest sacrifice when I started dieting was that I couldn't bake as often as I liked to. I'd make towering cream cakes for special occasions, Danish pastries for coffee get-togethers, fruit cobblers, pies, cakes, crumbles and jams whenever fruit was in season - I had a rhubarb cake recipe that was so filled with butter that it looked almost undercooked - and perfectly chewy and crusty brownies with a salt caramel sauce, Chocolate Nemesis with a raspberry coulis served with raspberry ice wine, cheesecake with gingerbread bottom and the lid stuffed with redcurrants and blueberries for my mate who has an egg intolerance. Butterscotch, Hispanice cakes, Franz Joseph bites and traditional Christmas cakes around Christmas, glazed almonds, I'd bake and make sweets maybe half the year.
I mean, of course I can still bake, and I still make the jam, but giving it away just isn't the same as sinking your teeth into something you've put time and effort into and finding out that you've gotten it just right.
that sounds kino as fuck anon
>Emotional eating.
I too am afflicted with this. Fucking hard to ignore on a bad day but I've been getting through lately.
>Emotional eating.
This is what got me. I was never SUPER in shape because I was a nerdy inside boy and I didn't do sports, but I didn't get truly fat until I got dumped, fell into a depression and started eating to fill the void in my soul. And it's crazy how hard it is to break that habit, even once you beat the depression and get healthier.
>What the fuck, so this is how people get fat
yeah no shit Sherlock
and now imagine guzzling it down with 1l of pepsi
So basically, you have never eaten sweets before? Like what the fuck? Are you a savage? Or just the typical stupid American? Wait till you taste actual cake lmao.
I just don't really like sweets, apart from the traditional christmas sweets our family bakes every year I basically don't eat any.
I'm not american
>just the typical stupid American?
>doesn't eat sweets
retard
you thought people became obese by eating too much chicken and rice?
I have to stop myself from eating a whole chicken breast for every fucking meal.
You should see a shrink bro.
idk i have the same problem. I can literally OMAD any time I want, I just don't...
.t was 450 pounds, now nearing 200.
Anyone else fat just because they really fucking like food?
I don't mean in the fatty cope sense. I am not stuffing my face with cheapo fast food to drown the sadness away. I am not an emotional eater, at worst I'll sometimes snack out of boredom but don't really keep snacks in the house because of it. I just really enjoy well-made food and have a tremendous appetite for it. I love to cook and eat out at nice restaurants. Whenever I go out to eat, unless I consciously stop myself, I will virtually always eat everything on my plate, unless the portion is particularly obscene. I wouldn't say I am particularly afflicted by hunger pangs, and I am a big fan of intermittent fasting and have done multi-day fasts with ease. Good food is just good food and I can't help but be a glutton for it.
At my largest I was 240 at 5'7". Don't care much for sweets and don't drink sweetened beverages either.
I'm in the same boat, Anon. No sweet drinks, not too much sugar, was a landwhale anyway. Have you been poor as a child by any chance?
If there is food on my plate, I'll eat it. It just cannot, it mustn't go to waste. I remember what the true hunger was like, getting by on scraps sucked. Poverty is a bitch.
When I grew up and got on my feet, my financial situation drastically improved. I am no longer poor, in fact I've completely turned my life around and I'm probably in the top 10% these days. As soon as I could afford it, I started eating good fucking food. Just... too much of it. I hit 250 lbs @ 5'10" before I decided to change my life around.
I'm currently somewhere around 215 lbs and 170-180 range is my ultimate goal. You are not alone in this.
My family definitely had money struggles at times, but it was well hidden from me and we certainly never went hungry. My mom is a great cook and adventurous eater and instilled in us a strong appreciation for good food. My parents also grew up in poverty with food scarcity, so ensuring there was always food on the table no matter what was always their top priority. It also made them instill in me this notion of 'you MUST clear your plate!', which I think never really allowed me to naturally develop an internal barometer for satiety. Unless I pre-plan my portions or think consciously about it while eating, I will pretty much eat whatever is in front of me until I'm uncomfortable.
>Whenever I go out to eat, unless I consciously stop myself, I will virtually always eat everything on my plate
You say that like it's weird?
Is there some social faux pas in the west now to finish your plate?
Fuck that, I'm eating the whole bitch.
I didn't mean it as if it was a faux pas, just that when I go out to eat I will commonly see people hardly make a dent in their food, and not even ask for it to go. My brain is pretty hardwired into clearing a plate of food unless I quite literally feel like I'll be sick to do so.
>when I go out to eat I will commonly see people hardly make a dent in their food
Probably the women
I was 240lbs at 5'5 and I was all about sweets especially chocolate, I hate 2 bars of 50 cents every day
>Anyone else fat just because they really fucking like food?
Unlike you I am an emotional eater and I have historically loved junk food, but my emotional eating days are mostly behind me and I generally don't eat that much junk food. The biggest issue is absolutely that I fucking love food and always want to sample new taste sensations and dishes. Whenever I pass by an artisan bakery or see like five things I want on a restaurant menu or visit another country with unique delicacies I just want to try fucking everything. I just LOVE tasting things so much.
>Don't care much for sweets and don't drink sweetened beverages either.
I fucking love sweets, but I can't stand carbonated beverages. I mostly just drink water and coffee. I'll occasionally have a cocktail when drinking socially, but again that's another case of my love of trying tastes.
Gaining weight can indeed be a challenge for some people, especially if they have a naturally low appetite or a fast metabolism. However, for others, overeating and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to weight gain. Eating large amounts of high-calorie foods, especially those that are high in sugar and fat, can add up quickly and contribute to weight gain over time. Stress eating is also a common cause of overeating, as people often turn to food as a form of comfort.
It's important to remember that weight gain is a complex issue and can be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormones, lifestyle choices, and psychological factors. The key to healthy weight management is finding a balanced approach that works for you, which may involve making changes to your diet, exercise habits, and overall lifestyle.
>stress eating
That's another problem for me
If I'm stressed my appetite is zero, For a large part of my life I did intermittent fasting eithout even realizing
Forget pastries. This right here is probably the #1 cause of american obesity, especially in females. People think its normal to have a starbucks drink loaded with sugar EVERY DAY. The line for dunkin donuts or starbucks near my house is constantly a mile long. This right here is why half of zoomer girls have to tuck their oversized gut into their spandex pants.
Yeah, and the funny part is that coffee is a decent weight loss and exercise aid if it's by itself. It's basically 0 calories, a bunch of caffeine, keeps your bowels nice and clear. Everyone dumps 700 calories of cream and sugar into it though and guzzles that shit alongside a full breakfast, it's a recipe for obesity.
>Idk why I can't lose weight. I only ate some toast and my daily coffee today!!
Exactly, like what are we looking at here? A quarter cup of milk, a quarter cup of heavy whipping cream, 4 oreos, three tablespoons of chocolate syrup, one tablespoon of vanilla syrup. They turned a 0 calorie drink into like 650 calories by my estimates just going off the top of my head. They aren't just eating that with their toast either, it's alongside a croissant or bagel slathered in cream cheese, some sort of pastry or bready thing that's an additional 400 calories minimum. They start their day eating half their daily caloric value at breakfast with foods that aren't very filling, so they're starving and eat a big meal at lunch and dinner. This is how these fat fucks get over 3k calories regularly while thinking they're still eating healthy because some of those 3,000 calories included some strawberries or an apple or something.
Yeah, and metabolism is wild. If you've got a high one enjoy it because mine is shit and if I didn't log my meals daily and keep track of where I am and restrict myself to stay under the right numbers (which are fairly low) I'd be fat in no time. I put on muscle really easily in the gym though so there's that. I know a lot of high metabolism guys who struggle to gain muscle mass in spite of lifting heavy and eating as much as they can. It would be nice to be a good balance inbetween. I suppose there are people like that, decent metabolism, decent ability to put on muscle. Must be nice. Oh well, gotta play the hand you're dealt.
can i just eat one or two tablespoons of olive oil per day to satisfy my caloric intake?
I fucking hate bulking so much
It's weird too cause I feel like I can hit my protein goals and caloric goals way easier when cutting
When bulking I feel like it's hard because a lot of high protein shit isn't actually a lot of calories, I can eat shrimp or salmon or a protein bar and get shit ton of protein but it's hardly any calories at all
Only autistic people have trouble gaining weight. Something in their brain circutry doesnt reward them when eating
this shit is 420 calories for 1 bag and fills you up less than an apple. It's unbelievably easy to get fat off snack foods.
I never really ate "emotionally", as in, I'd buy food cuz I feel sad, but food was definitely comforting.
I also did IF/OMAD for my entire life, and I ended up at 400+ pounds, I'd eat a 5k dominos order almost daily.
I just don't really get satisfied with meals, but I like the feeling of being full/stuffed, so it's really a bitch. But being 20~lbs off 12% bf I know damn well when I binge at the buffet it's gonna feel damnnnnn good.
Also I never ate sweets, so when I finally stopped being obese i never trained the fat brain. Now they are my only demise, fuck pastries ffs.
Even then, you basically have to never exercise to actually get fat. It's a combination of eating like shit most of the time, never doing any exercise and having zero portion control.
it's so easy to over eat by a pound a week, what?
1 (one) donut is 250 calories. You eat that shit daily + maintence thats half a pound a week.
>1 donut wont kill you if you're active
my TDEE at maximum would end up nearing 2500-2800. I can eat that in 2 meals without trying if I ate the right food, let alone some retard who doesnt know better.
Exercise + Shit diet = Powershitter
Shit Diet + Shit Exercise = Obese
Exercise + Diet = Athletic
portion control is a meme, if I ate without calorie counting I'd end up fat as shit, clean or dirty. yeah thats portion control, but I can eat like shit with portion control.
^this argument doesnt make much sense but I'm extra retarded after doing Calc so bare with me
Like I said, you have to eat like shit most of the time. Occasionally eating like shit doesn't matter if you still exercise and don't just gorge on garbage every fucking day.
most normalfags are fat as fuck, also if I ate half a cheesecake once a week I'd still be gaining 0.5lbs a week, even if it was once a week. a donut won't kill you obviously.
>also if I ate half a cheesecake once a week
that's not what I'd call "eating junk in moderation"
Also maybe you don't go hard enough at the gym.
half a cheesecake isnt that much, and what I do at the gym doesn't effect my TDEE as much as I'd wish it did, for the same time I'd get double to triple that in cardio calories
Do you only lift usually? I go five days a week and do an hour of lifting 4x a week and an hour of cardio 5x a week
I WAS doing 4-5x a week 90 minute a day, full isolation for each individual muscle + 20,000 steps a day, until I was waking up with cramps in the middle of the night and my cock stopped working
Now I go 4x, I'd rather do PPLPP then ULxUL cuz I don't need legs 2. I kinda slump on cardio, but I get a minimum of 30m 7x, if I go above 450 minutes shit starts happening to me again.
I burn like 250-300cals (that I can eat back, so like 300-380 actually) per 30m and then only like 75-150 on weights. I don't pussy around on my weights either inb4, I'm cranking that shit.
All together at maximum I'd be ~2750, at minimum ~2500
fair enough. obviously if you did more cardio you could probably get away with eating like shit more often. lifting isn't exactly a fat burner
I agree whole heartedly
I just got into the OG mentality of diet over training so I never needed the extra calories, will for sure use them when this whole overtraining shit goes away
>most normalfags are fat as fuck
depends on what you characterise as fat. Do you mean fat as in actually fucking fat or fat as in has a bit of a belly or slightly overweight?
normalfags eat sweets and junk food all the time, they just also exercise, use portion control and know when to stop and eat healthy.
