Height and Weight?

#81
5' 11"
160lbs

For you underweight guys that want to gain weight I would really suggest journaling your foods like someone already mentioned. When I first started lifting I thought I was really eating alot just like you guys. Then I started journaling my foods and found out that I wasn't. The first week that I journaled my foods I found out that i was averaging about 2000 calories a day. Now I'm eating 3000 (and alot healthier), and that's just enough to hold steady.

Here in America we here news stories about a modeling controvery where the models are too thin. There are (I think) two European countries where a model has to be a certain weight proportional to their height in order to legally model. I thought the countries were England and Spain but I could be mistaken.

LOL. 190 doesn't sound odd for that height.

I'm high-average :hmm: I used to be borderline obese until I hit my growing spurt. I've recently gotten into working out, so I'm trying to replace most of the fat with muscle. Thus far I've done very well. In the past, I never did any physical activity. Today I may go as far as to say that I am slightly above average in strength.

Any of you working out people have any tips for me and 2 Fingers McGee? We are both toothpicks, although I am lighter than him (both the same height). I've got weights (straight barbell bar and different weights to go on the ends). Got them about 7 or 8 months ago, but never used them. I can't do push up worth a crap, but can do a lot of sit ups.

I was fat and always strong, I just lost the weight and kept the muscle by working out. you could try that :D

You can buy some protein powder if you want, but it's not necessary.

Don't buy into it. Regular food is enough.

Not so fast. Protein powders work great as a meal replacement. Sometimes after I workout I'm not hungry enough to prepare an entire meal, so the protein shake does me just fine. They are also great as a snack on training days when I do not have the time to prepare something more complex.

I certainly agree with you that they are a waste if someone thinks that drinking protein shakes will make them "big".

They aren't a meal replacement, they are a *suppliment*. I'll down one if I'm eating a light sandwich or some waffles or something that doesn't have protein. I need the protein from the powder and the fats from the milk I mix it with to keep me going, but by itself it won't do anything, I also need some solid food. I wouldn't recommend it by itself. It *is* better than nothing, though.
