What would be your tips diet wise for skinny brehs?
My problem is probs opposite of most people. My metabolism is high as all hell and I literally have to eat 5 or 6 meals a day otherwise I'll hover around a lean 145 - 150 (at 5'10") even with lifting.
I played football in HS and ate like crazy and was 155 at my heaviest. At 25 I actually weigh less than I did at 17. Creatine helps me LOOK heavier than I am but obvs is not permanent.
I've never been heavier than 160. Always (relatively) low body fat as well.
I went up from low 170s to 200 when I was in my mid 20s. I had a similar issue to you, but I really just didn't have a big appetitie. I just used one of those calculators online that predicted how many calories you need to take in to maintiain you're weight, which is based on age, height, and weight, i think, and than I just added more calories to that. I think I calculated about 3,500 total daily caloric intake. WIth that, I decided to follow the 40/40/20 guideline and made sure to keep a dietary log using excel.
In the beginning finding all the right combination of foods was a lot of work, because I didn't want to be that annoying person at work that was like "I can't eat lunch there because i'm on a diet", so I just figured out what I could eat at each restaraunt, and then pretty much adjusted dinner to the right combination. You wind up just getting the same thing over an over again and don't even need to log after a while. Just got to make sure you stay active.
I dropped down to 190 for the past couple years though.
