Im trying to put ON weight. Help!

i dont like Mc Donalds

This week Ive been doing something positive for myself... Ive started doing some major exercise.

Im gonna get my body into some sort of shape.. Im going to put on more weight and put on more muscle.

So I ve also been eating more. Loads more. Its a good thing believe me.

DOes anyone have any good muscle workout tips for me??

Im trying to put on weight .. its really hard to do!

Apart from eating junk Id like to put on weight eating the right foods..So ive been researching..

Eat every 3 hours. Eat protein. Things like tuna, chicken, salads, pastas during the day.

What else can I do? Anyone know of anything apart from supersizing at McDOnalds?

What do you do to know all this??


I'm a biochemist Phoenixboi, I specialise in protein/DNA structures and theres lots of work going on at the mo with modelling HIV proteins to find more effective drugs. Well I was until I gave it up to be a teacher that is.

Hey a training program would be great

Well lets hope you never give up! You seem to be really cluey and your interest may be just the key to help out.

Again Im really impressed by what you have shown me..not only with your knowledge but with your interest to help me out. Im really greatful..

I seem to be wanting to eat more at night big time. I keep eating and its making me feel really full. I dont know whether its my body asking for more food or now that Im starting to feel better from the meds its asking for more fuel? But Im eating more. Makes my mother happy cause she is always wanting to feed me.. but i have to work out a balance between what im eating and some exercise as well.

Hope your move is going ok. I know what its like to move. I did it 11 times in the space of 2 years not long ago. Anyhow look forward to what more you have to say for me. Thanks matey.

I think its probably because your viral load is going down. Your immune system will start to rebuild itself and this takes up huge amounts of energy. Not only is it rebuilding itself but its also fighting off infections it could fight before - you might notice that you get breathless very quickly.

Hell thats alot of moves in a short space of time.

Glad to see someone with more knowledge than I is chiming in here. The little I know is either basic military doctrine (not much of which is applicable) or from simple observations of soldiers usually more fitness-minded than myself.
I think a log of your workout regime and its results would be pretty interesting, and maybe some encouragement for me as well. I have to get back into shape after a few TDYs involving too much drink and too little activity (although these weren't as bad for me as Germany was last year).
Good luck, boi.
