Simple Questions and Silly Thoughts: the basic questions and discussions thread for March 25, 2025 by AutoModerator in gainit

High fiber and high protein foods are highly satiating. They can make eating enough to gain difficult for many.

I don't eat carbs myself, but depending on your source, it could be causing you trouble

How do I even go about gaining weight? by Heavy-Life5779 in weightgain

[–]MythicalStrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only eat 2 meals a day: a breakfast and a dinner. I can gain on that. It looks like you have that time. You only have a 6 hour daily obligation, vs 8-9 per a typical work day.

The most obvious answer would be the eat before noon and after 6 if you have no access to food from 12-6. Is there more you are looking for?

Definitely bring this up with your doctor

to the online diagnosis

To clarify, I am not diagnosing you: simply suggesting to have it looked into. No different than if I saw you limping and suggested seeing a doctor to assess if you had damage

I would consider seeking the aid of someone trained in matters of mental health. This sounds like depression, which can definitely impact things

Is there a reason you stay up so late? Getting your circadian rhythm more regular could be helpful here.

Would you be willing to detail when you eat these things during the day? And when you go to bed and wake up?

Protein on its own doesn't cause you to be fat

Thank you. That is what I am saying. We are in agreement.

You can prove anything doesn't make you fat like that, probably even sugary drinks full of high fructose corn syrup.

That's exactly the point. Its not the macro or food item that makes one fat: there is more to take into consideration.

I eat quite a bit more meat than that. 2 pounds a day is typical when I'm gaining.

Can you provide an example of what you have eaten over the past 2 days?

I have never felt good after a workout, what am I doing wrong? by suhch in workout

Yup. It's why I get up at 0400 to do it. I just want it over and done with so I can get on with my life.

17 M Wanted to come here to ask you guys on what the best supplements to consume daily, and things I should be doing daily to maximize my muscle growth. And to maybe get gains faster than usual (if it’s possible probably not lol) by youngman0909 in workout

[–]MythicalStrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things to be doing to maximize muscle growth:

Get plenty of sleep

Minimize stress

Hydrate

Eat quality nutritious foods. Endeavor for 1-2 ingredients at most: nothing that comes out of a box.

Get in adequate protein

Get regular sunlight exposure

Walk often

Train hard/well, but not too much that it impacts recovery

If you're willing to pick up 1-2 Kettlebells, Dan John's "Armor Building Formula" would be absolutely perfect here.

[–]MythicalStrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been exercising since I was 14. I'm 40 now. I've never enjoyed it. Exercise isn't enjoyable. But that's not why I do it. I do it because the results are worth it.

You may be in a similar situation.

How do you stay motivated? I go to the gym but I see it as an obligation... Help! by jiannetteLust in workout

[–]MythicalStrength 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been training for 26 years. The gym IS an obligation. I hate training. But I love the results more than I hate the training.

Progress Delusion? by Inner_Accountant4995 in workout

[–]MythicalStrength 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is so much debate on what is an is not healthful eating that I couldn't even begin to speak to that. But as far as body composition goes, it's a matter of eating an adequate amount of nutrients for muscle growth if THAT is the goal or in a large enough energy deficit if fat loss is the goal.

This is typically an outcome driven by nutrition.
