Question:
I WILL PEE ON YOU IF yOU don't ANSWER THIS QUESTION?
I'm 109-110 lbs and am 5'6. I want to gain at least 5 lbs to be the perfect 115 lbs I dreamed of. To gain this weight is it so bad to eat junk food a little. This is what I ate today:
Breakfast= Toast, Egg
Lunch= Sandwich, Chips, Coffee Soda
Dinner= Salad, Lamb, Coffee Soda
Snack= 2 Hot Pretzels
Snack= I am about to eat M and Ms...
This comes to app. 1800 calories or so. Is this bad to do?
Answers:
It kinda depends on where you want the weight to go.
1800 calories is a lot for your size, and it might give you "love handles" before it fills you out all around.
The exception would be if you are actively exercising, which will burn more of the simple carbs and store less of them as belly fat.
Fat around the middle can also result from stress, so make sure you feel good about life before packing in the calories.
Another important thing is WHEN you eat. Earlier meals like breakfast are more likely to be burned off, while the later meals will have a greater impact on your weight.
Eating too many overall calories for your size and lifestyle can be bad if it leads to metabolic disorders like diabetes, so I would suggest jump starting your metabolism with plenty of exercise to tip the scales with hard muscle instead of fat.
Just in case this doesn't answer your question, I'm carrying an umbrella.;)
