Personal Trainer who's bad at eating

too_spicy

Hi everyone,

My name is Kaitlin. I'm 20 years old, 5'6", and 115 lbs on a full stomach. I'm fairly active, as I'm currently working as a swim instructor, and I also (try to) work out three times a week. I really don't do cardio aside from swimming, and have been trying to build muscle through weight training sessions.

But of course, I wouldn't be on myfitnesspal if something didn't need to change. I'm actually here to GAIN weight, because I have the most trouble eating enough to fuel my body. Even though I work out I sometimes end up eating less than 1000 calories a day completely by accident, and I worked out for nothing because my body has nothing to build off of.

So if you're someone who's also a hardgainer feel free to add me as a friend. Even if you're a boy-- I know there aren't that many ladies out there who are trying to get any bigger. Or even if you'd just like weight loss/workout advice. I do know my stuff, even if I don't always practice what I preach.

I was looking for a weight gainer yesterday for my son. He's got ADHD and the meds make him not want to eat. I've been using Jim Stoppani's supplement line since it first came out on Bodybuilding.com, IMO its good stuff. Anyway here's his weight gainer recipe...

Yo, this is awesome. I always feel really sketch about store-bought mass gainers because it feels to me like drinking straight chemicals. It's nice to be able to eat (or drink) actual food that you know is food, you know? Thanks for the link.
