Does anyone know of a site that shows what various weight gains looks like?
I understand that weight gain is individual, but there are sites that show what the average body fat percentage looks like, so I was wondering about:
5 lb gain
10 lb gain
15 lb gain
etc.
I tried Google, but all I could find with the keywords I used were images of what various weights look like on people with different heights.

The issue with that is that people will gain weight so differently depending on how much gain was muscle vs fat, their genetics and where they store fat or gain the muscle, their height, starting bodyfat, etc. Way too many variables.
For example this is around a 15 lb gain for me. You can see gain in the waist, most in the legs (also glutes which you can't see in the photo)

Your best bet would be looking at before and after pics in reverse, I doubt anyone outside of the science community would be documenting weight gain in pictures.
But as sardelsa said, even that is very individual.

that site is for women though, I can't see your profile to tell whether you're a man or woman.1
