How would a person gain weight, on a nutrient poor diet, if they are still in a calorie deficit?
Calories in, calories out concept is outdated, deficiency in essential nutrients and spiking your insulin with more carbs than you can handle at time affects your hormonal health, you don't have to believe me, but I tried it for myself and had to learn it the hard way.
Explain to the class how energy can be created from nothing because "deficient nutrients" and insulin. The government would like to know how insulin can create and destroy energy since that could really come in handy for world domination.5 -

So if I was underweight and desperately wanted to gain, what would I eat so I didn't have to stuff my face? Just sugar? A few bags of Skittles a day? You should come to the gaining section to share your knowledge to all the hard gainers who struggle
Best strategy would be eating as frequently as you could, maybe every 2-3 hours, and eat starchy foods like potatoes, black rice, oats,etc...
Stay active and incorporate weightlifting to maintain your body composition even when you become thicker.8 -

Have you checked for alien ancestry?
Must be really high metabolism and hormonal activity.. are you up for trying 2-3 cups of olive oil each day? Morocan brides have a tradition of ingesting too much olive oil before marriage to attain a thicker and curvier body and this has been working for them for ages.1 -
You're here and your carb. Hmm, doesn't rhyme. Whatever. You're out and proud. Yeah for you.
