Hello All, I’m 20M and I was 55–56kg back in February and now I’m 63.7kg. I have been doing exercises over quarantine, mainly things like push-ups, crunches, planks etc. And I’ve been eating more food in general but not as much as 4 or 5 meals per day. Recently, I’ve been doing weights like biceps, squats and bench press etc. and I’m not exactly sure how much this has contributed to my weight but I assume it had a little bit of impact. I do have to note that during the months of June and July, I lost motivation to exercise (except running roughly 2km in 3 reps on average per week) and I did notice weight gain. So I can’t talk about my weight without talking about what I usually eat in a day:
2x white bread toast 1x glass of milk 4x fried eggs More recently, 1 bottle of whey protein with water.
Some days I eat a bag of basmati rice with mashed potatoes and at least 3 chicken marinade (usually like a drumstick) and in other days I just eat pasta with tomato sauce and if I’m hungry after the pasta I just eat 2x more toast and milk and 2x fried eggs or I just one broccoli. I am planning on expanding more variety, such as me eating 2x salmon fillets the other day.
I checked lifesum and the calories are always roughly 3,000 but maybe I need to reach 3,500!
Any advice would be appreciated! Just wondering if I need to eat more meals a day or is whatever I’m eating atm is fine! Many thanks!
