I rarely sit down during a day. My job is very physically demanding. I definitely burn more than I take in. I would have to eat 10x a day, but some days I barely have time to eat once! Lol. Plus playing ice hockey on top of all that. I dont care how much I weigh, as long I get stronger.

My main point was, being a hardgainer is just something that people call themselves when they are not able to gain weight. It has nothing to do with the "quality" of calories being consumed. Its as simple as your energy output being higher than your energy intake.

Unless you have a thyroid issue or are using gear, the energy balance equation is pretty easy to understand.

Here's some reading to look at if you ever get bored.

And you're totally right, in my case...I simply expensive more than I take in, I know it, I've always known it...I just never slow down...

Really, it comes down to desire and priorities for me...if I wanted it bad enough, I'm sure I could attain my goal(s)
:eek:

I could eat 3000 cal/day and still not gain much weight. It took me 3 years to put on 35 pounds working out. That was eating and supplementing. Shit, I ran a resturant/pizza shop for 2 years and was there 12 hours a day. Def not clean meals. It was all I ate. I might have gained 5 pounds. Been this way my whole life and I love it. Everyone else my age is a fat ass and Im over here looking like 11th grade. Lol.

If you're only taking in 3000cals a day and expending the energy you say, yeah man, yoire loosing weight! I know I do of I take in that little...I was saying I need 3000cals at dinner...about 8000/day to gain and grow at a satisfying rate for my efforts...

Can't believe I'm doin this, but what the hell...laugh and poke fun all y'all want...

I get yearly blood work and used to live on the OG jack3d, never showed up in panels.

That being said, what are you guys shooting for water intake wise? I have my phone set to a 120oz goal spread from 8am to 10pm.

Funny story, had a high kid come workout with me back over summer. Said he wanted to be jacked:rofl: ain't that where we all started? Anyways, he comes walking in with a gallon jug of water.. I thought surely he isn't going to drink that whole thing. My workouts are only 45min long. This dude is pounding water like I've never seen before. He was literally peeing in between every set lol.

I drink maybe 1/2 gallon a day. I'll get in trouble at work if my machine is sitting while I spend all day pissing

8,000! How in the hell would you do that? At my height and weight I need a little over 2k cal a day. WTF are you eating to get 3k in a sitting?

I have to avoid dairy as much as possible...No whey for me. Besides, those supplements are filled with garbage. Im not really concerned with gaining weight anyway. Im just curious how one goes about getting that many calories in a day.
