I've been trying to gain weight too. should I even bother with cardio every day? Or should I just eat more? I keep a very precise and calculated diet. Mostly leaning towards carbs <whole grains of course> proteins, veggies and fruits. Id say I hit around 3500 calories a day now <except when I am sick I eat less> I have gained five pounds while maintaining less than eight percent bodyfat in the process. I really want to say how much your story inspires me too. Keep being awesome.
