I'm 5'8'' and hover around 125 lbs, and according to Cronometer my daily maintenance is about 2250 calories. For every day in December I hit, at minimum, 3000 calories a day; I tracked it through Cronometer, counted every calorie, and compensated for exercise.
At the end of the month I gained nothing. Literally no pounds were added to my scrawny ass. All I did was get so sick of food that I don't want to even look at it at this point.
What could possibly cause this inability to gain weight? I thought it was perhaps gluten sensitivity (it's one of the symptoms), but I got it checked and it came back negative. Any ideas?

gotta eat big to get big

overestimating
Jason White
Try eating 6000 calories and see what happens.
Jacob Carter
Can you post what constitutes 3000 calories for you
Jeremiah Mitchell
was it 3000 calories of rabbit, salmon, and celery
Kayden Miller
Did you actually weigh your good like an autist? That's the only way to get it accurate.
Samuel Garcia
Eat more calorie dense foods that aren't complete shit for you like nuts or peanutbutter
Alexander Sanders
A 800 calorie daily surplus isn't "big"? Nope, I counted and weighed everything. If there was a discrepancy is couldn't have been anymore than 100 calories give or take. Does it matter? 3000 calories is 3000 calories. Are you suggesting I dirty bulk? I was also getting enough protein, about 1 gram per pount of body weight. Yes, I weighted everything to the gram, oz, cup, etc.

>just eat more >read the sticky seriously OP. You are calculating a bunch of shit wrong. My maintenance is around 3400 but that can be +/- several hundred. They are guidelines and you didnt have enough of a surplus to make up for your shit calorie counting and exercise calculations.
I bulk at +2000+ and cut at -1000. Do you think you burned EXACTLY 253 calories in your 77 minute gym session and then ate exactly 440 kcal worth of food and your TDEE remains exactly the same every day despite sometimes walking 30% more etc?
>just eat more
Adam Collins
Did you go workout?
Eli Smith
Eat more then. It probably wasn't actually a 800 calorie surplus. Cronometer isnt the best at getting how much you burn.
Sebastian Hill
this. i found that when i really started pushing myself i started to see results and also didnt have to force feed myself when i wasnt hungry.
Easton Scott
Believe me, eating a lot without working out didnt worked for me until I ate like 4000 + calories each day and trained with SL, I came in 4 week less like 15 lbs.
Luke Myers
yeah sure, unless you have some rare disease, you can't put no weight on

this picture is bullshit. gaining muscle mass doesn't make you clavicles wider. it can't make your nipples further apart. you won't change the overall width of your rib cage. your jaw won't get rounder. if this was a photo it would be two different people, or photoshop. fuck this false marketing bs.

Multiply your weight in KG. Then multiply that by 24. That's your body's calories needs. Add to that 200-300 calories. Then eat exactly that amount of calories then check in 1 week afterwards, did you gain at least 0.25kg/0.5lb? If yes, keep going. If no, then add another small 200-300 calories. So on and so forth. This method makes your body get used to the extra calories slowly without gaining extra fat. Also very important is spread your meals into 5/6 small meals. After each meal you should have a little more space. Not full. If you want the macrosof your calories, here's a good split: 40% carbs/40% proteins/30% fats. Though these numbers aren't set in stone, don't worry about them too much. Also try to drink more water and eat more veggies. This is what I have done to gain weight. Good luck.

Forgot to add, try to eat as much "clean food" as possible. It's okay to eat some junk to meet your calories needs tho. Also if a certain food doesn't make you feel good or doesn't digest well, don't fucking eat it. Find other alternatives/foods.
William Nguyen
here's a few basic things you need to take if you want to gain something:
500 mg sustanon a week. 250 mg nandrolone a week. 40mg methandienone daily.
eat at least 6000-8000 cal a day.
lift and squat everyday at least 1.5-2 hours of workout.
BCAA before and after workout. gainer. vitamin complex.
don't fap don't have sex.
sleep at least 8 hours a day.
after a month you'll gain 20-25 kg.
Caleb Foster
Post sample food diary. I'm about your height and can't break under 180 at half your calorie input. It sounds like you just need to give it more time and lift.
Isaiah Ramirez
dude tell us what your diet is.
what do you eat on a day to day basis

Liam White
Keep increasing calories until you're gaining however much weight you want to gain
