I'm on the other side. Its extremely difficult for me to gain weight. I've never weighted more than 64kg @ 177cm - the only time I really gained weight was when I ate 3x a day like 2-4 warm dishes for few months (chinese food). Actuall I'm pending between 59.5-61.0kg. What was an eye-opener for me: once i was prescribed 20mins ergometer. So they put on cables and connected me to the monitoring system - the system is adjusting the power level of the ergometer to keep high power, while monitoring heart rate and that the power level is not set too high / heart rate. To my astonishing, that 20 minute ride was HELL! constantly keeping the muscles at continuous high load nearly "killed" me - I've fallen asleep afterwards while doing MRT. It really was hell. and then - the evaluation told me, I've burned the equivalent of 180 kcal. ONE HUNDRED EIGHTTY kilocalories!!!! My body was on full force for 20 minutes and I burned just a burger ??? - ??? Not to speak of the fanta I usualy drink to spill down my four ordinary hamburgers which I eat 3x a week (doing a fat-diet). So, I realized, that there's no way other than that of of counting kcal - One can exercise as much as one wants, but the burned energy (output) must somehow correspond to the input (eat & drink). If one eats more than one can burn, it will be stored for bad times in the hips-storages or in the belly-town. If you want to lose weight - check first how much energy are you capable of burning when doing heavy exercise. And then you have to count the in-put kilocalories. Just for visualizing and assess how and how much you need to exercise, if you put in that burger... and that coke.. and that dessert. for me, to see how much has been burned cleared up that much: - exercising doesn't stop me on my way to become round - no need to count kcal except assuring intake of roundabout the equivalent of burned energy while exercising (not much, though) - I won't gain weight, because I can't eat that much anyway. So, start loving myself is a better option for me. If you really all-in about loosing weight, find the exercises that burn the most. That depends on your constitution. You need professional help to get the knowledge. Look for a university doing sport-studies and ask them if they want to conduct a study on this or, at least, whether they can measure what exercises do the best burning. And then count & asses. Or use the new medication emerged. Or try a stool-transplant. But without, definitely, one has to control the input kcals. Wish everyone to achieve what one's soughing so hard!!!
