I'm an encourager and my boyfriend aspires to your size or larger, any advice for his growth you would have given your slimmer self? 😘
I could give a horny answer (eat everything and go for thirds!), but I think a fuller answer is deserved here.
Every gainer is different, their bodies, their habits, their lifestyles, and their tolerances for stuff like pain, inconveniences, and food repetitiveness. Giving one size fits all advice is difficult, considering all of that.
Advice I'd give my younger self is this, though.
Eat food you enjoy, even if it isn't the most calorie dense food available.
Having the same food over and over just because it packs a ton of calories causes burnout, and is not sustainable.
Comparing yourself to other gainers is a double edged sword; while it can give motivation, the feeling of "not being good enough" can be DEmotivating.
Find eating habits you can sustain. Stuffing can be really hot, but a lot of people can handle the discomfort and (I can't emphasize this enough) that is okay! Snacking might be better instead. I call myself a grazer because stuffing myself is just unpleasant for me.
Experiment with different fats if you like to cook. You can sometimes even add a bit of fat to stuff that is already pre-made. For instance, I get frozen chicken tenders, and I drizzle duck fat and seasonings on it to really up the flavor when heating them up in the oven.
Lastly, if you find yourself on a plateau, it means you gotta shake up your routine; even temporarily adding Boost VHC, or a gainer shake can help push past the plateau, even if you don't keep it up.
