How Many Calories a Day Do I Need to Eat to Gain Weight?
I would like to gain mass, but i know i have to expect some fat to come with it.
I have my workout sorted; it’s just the diet that’s stressing me out. I am 19 years old, weigh 120 pounds, and my height is 6″2.
I wouldn’t say the reason i am so skinny is because i am a hardgainer, but rather the fact that i just don’t, and never have done, eaten enough food. I would say for the past few years i have eaten anything between 1000-1500 calories a day. Usually coming from 2 meals, breakfast and tea, and biscuits throughout the day.
Anyway, im serious now about gaining weight and i’m going to commit my time to doing so.
What would be an ideal amount of calories to eat?
How much should it differ on training and non-training days?
Where should the calories come from, i.e. 50% carbs, 30% protein, and 20% fat.
What type of food to eat, i.e. oats, pasta, rice, etc
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

your bmi is 15.4, which is underweight by a fair amount. If i were you, i’d eat 2500+ a day
Well I can offer this: for a person to gain 1 pound, it takes 3300 calories. Same goes for losing it, you’d need to burn 3300 calories. On days when you work out, you’d need more calories. I would eat a lot of protein, this good for helping you build muscle. Try going to GNC and getting protein powder, since you don’t eat much. Supplements like Boost help support your nutrition and offer calories and nutrients. You will also need some carbs, but watch your fats. Good luck!
