How to get thicc?

ONE HUNDRED KILOGRAMS?????????

I can barely lift 10kg lmao. It must take me like 8 years before I work up to that weight!

What do you suggest that i eat? Naturally I'd think that junk food would be the way to go to put on weight, or sugary foods, but I'm also not keen on having a heart attack.

I have a really fast metabolism and can't seem to put on weight, despite eating mostly junk food and the fact that the last time I properly exercised was about 5 years ago. Seems like the life, but it also means that i'm stuck pretty much eternally stick-thin. You could probably fit a boat through my thigh gap. I've always wanted bigger, fuller thighs but can't do so through weight gain, so is my only option to build up some muscle?

Is the main way to do this through squats? If so, how many would you suggest that I aim for in a day? I have 8kg dumbbells to help me out. I've also heard that I shouldn't be jogging, because this will only tone my legs and make them even thinner?

I'm an 18 y/o girl btw.

To put on muscle though, you need to put on weight - its not happening otherwise.(but not as in getting fat)

Up your protein intakee too from a variety of sources (so not just meat) and have Whey Protein too! Make sure you eat healthy and added to what @shameful_burrito said, you should get somewhere.

@CleverSquirrel may have some advice too add

Thanks for the advice! I feel like I'll be eating 24/7, because it truly is difficult for me to get bigger. During one week while our kitchen was down, I ate Mcdonalds pretty much three meals a day with snacks in between and my weight didn't change at all. So I guess my first problem - going by what you said - is how I can put on weight in the first place

You don’t need to squat 100kg lmao that’s ridiculous for a woman who has never lifted... and I’m guessing you’re pretty tiny!

To answer your question the best thing to do is start building muscle and just eating more. Squats, lunges, glute bridges, RDLs and split squats are a good basis along with some other accessory work/machines. I’ve heard sprinting is good too. You do need to be eating a calorie surplus though to see much improvement. That doesn’t have to mean eating crap, just make your potions bigger and add a few calorie and protein dense snacks in. Plus peanut butter.

In terms of weights don’t worry about adding excessive amounts until you’ve got your form sorted. A kettle bell is cool for now but consider joining a gym if you want to take it further

Thank you for the info This may seem like a random question, but is there any difference in going to the gym vs working out at home? I hate the prospect of working out in front of people, so would it be ok to just buy a bunch of weights and do them at home instead?
