in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Hey guys, I recently downloaded this app to help me gain weight. My goal is to gain 15 pounds in the next few weeks. I'm planning on going back to the gym as well cause consistency has always been my problem. Overall sometimes I don't be knowing what to eat or Munch on cause I can easily get bored of repetitive foods. Any suggestions for a woman On a mission for GAINS!

    15 lbs in a few weeks? Yeah don't do that. Women can put on about 0.25lbs of muscle a week. That is it, and that is only if you are training and eating properly. If you shoot for 15lbs in a few weeks its going to be 90% fat and not really a healthy move.

    As @nakedraygun said, you only need to be 250 calories over your TDEE to put on muscle.

    lol. I'm shooting for 10 lbs in 5-6 months. If you try to gain that fast you're just going to gain fat. Eat 250 over maintenance, get on a heavy lifting program, gain slowly.

    You all might want to google slim thick.

    Op, you do realize that even if you gain weight genetics will determine where it goes right? Grant it, you can spot gain muscle but not the fst on top.

    And gaining is fine but unless you want it mostly fat, then slower is probably better.

    I googled. That's what I figured it meant.

    i recall someone else around here wanting to be slim thick, which I believe is "thin" but with thick thighs and butt …

    OP - you can't spot gain and you are not going to gain 15 pounds in a few weeks…

    get on a structured heavy lifting program, eat in a 250 to 500 calorie per day surplus, hit your micros, and macros…

    15 pounds at one pound per week gain is going to take a minimum of three and a half months...
