Hello everyone,
I am Callum, 20 years old, 70kg/154lbs, uni student.
I have been into fitness most my life but its only from jan last year that I consistently started gyming and trying to eat more. I have been on and off with my fitness pal in that time until a month ago where I have been extremely consistent with my kcals
So I am having a problem gaining weight as the tital indicates. I eat 3400 kcals everyday. I track everything and I mean everything, right down to my ketchup.
Macros are:-
Protein 213g which is probs too much
Carbs 383g
Fat 113g
My diet consists of the following :-
Naked Chicken breast
Gammon joint
Free range Eggs
Toasted british muffins
Edam cheese
Avacardo
Sweet potato wedges
Broc**** (but not as much as I probably should)
50/50 bread
Whey protein (when needed to meet macros)
I workout 3 days a week doing a full body workout, lifting heavy and including compound exercises. About 45-60 min workouts. No cardio apart from a breif warm up on the rowing machine of 1:30 min.
So heres the problem. Iv not gained any weight, nothing, in fact Iv actually gone down slightly.
I have weighed myself in the morning on an empty stomach on smart scales that track my muscle mass and even body fat percentage as well as my weight. Nothing.
I have a even have a fit bit that says I burn 3000 kcals at most but 2600 at average.
Im getting desperate now, should I increase my kcals even more?? Or am I missing somthing here? I am putting in loads of effort but nothing is happening.
