does anyone find it difficult to lose or gain weight?

same here. i tried to lose weight by eating less or healthier and didn't change, unfortunately even if i exercise everyday. it' frustrating lmao

Always hard for me to gain weight. I've tried it multiple times but I can never stick with it because it requires constant effort and planning to eat so much. Just missing breakfast makes it almost impossible to reach enough calories/protein by the end of the day.

hard for me to lose weight - due to my pcos. i gained so much weight in one week the weekend before, my trousers were so baggy at work, then a week later they were tight and my butt almost created a hole. not good and my thighs and stomach was a no go. so im looking to go on a proper diet.

wow I never knew people could gain weight that quickly, especially in one week

It doesn't matter whether you eat less or high, it depends upon how much calories you consumed and how much burned.

Exactly this. It also needs to be a sustained change being made. One day or even week of eating in a calorie surplus (to gain weight) or calorie deficit (to lose weight) is unlikely to make a huge difference to weight. As many people know and go off, you need 3500 extra calories to gain 1 pound or 3500 fewer to lose 1 pound (there are some other factors too). That's 500 over or under what you burn a day which is quite a significant amount. You may be able to keep this going for a day or even a week but then give up. So smaller amounts of change over a longer period of time would be more sustainable. People also often under or over estimate how many calories they eat. Often in the short term, calorie counting with apps like myfitnesspal can be helpful

does how much calories you burn depend on your height and weight? How about for needing to consume 3500 extra calories?

Height, weight, and activity levels will influence how many calories you burn see: https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html - But generally speaking 3500 cals = 1 pound, whatever your height and weight. There are other factors though e.g. carbs and salt in excess can lead to water retention so that may seem like someone has put on weight/fat but often it's water retention and can be reduced quite quickly.

Obviously your height and weight may influence how that pound extra or less would look e.g. if you're smaller a few extra pounds may be more noticeable than if you're taller.

so I just calculated how many calories I need to consume in order to maintain my weight using the link but I'm pretty sure I consume more calories than the figure the calculator showed (the figure is quite low) yet my weight is the same. May this be due to other factors (as you said)???

yeah I know right??? I'm quite thin so my legs look like sticks and because of this I tried eating more but it's so tiring, it feels like a chore - and my weight doesn't really change. At most I'm looking at gaining a couple hundred grams, even when I ate a lot/more than I did before for like a few weeks? But then if I revert back to eating normally, I go back to my old weight.

There are days when I can't be bothered to eat, whether it's because I'm lazy or just not hungry and even when I am hungry sometimes I just can't be bothered to make myself something so I just don't bother - yet my weight never goes down/no change in my physique. Like how is this possible??? I also don't do much exercise (I just go out for 30min walks) which is not good
