Why You Are Not Gaining Weight Despite Eating More

If the lifts are going up but the scale isn't, you might be going through a recomp phase, especially if you're a newer lifter. But eventually, you'll need that weight to climb to keep the strength gains coming.

I found that eating 4-5 smaller meals was easier than trying to cram everything into 3. My stomach just couldn't handle 1200 calorie sittings.

Same here. I carry a bag of almonds or a protein bar with me everywhere. Grazing helps reach the goal without the bloat.

One thing nobody mentioned: check your digestion. If you're running to the bathroom 5 times a day, you might not be absorbing what you're eating.

Good point Mike. If your gut is a mess, the bulk is going to fail. Probiotics or just simplifying the diet can help.

Digestion seems fine, thankfully. I think I just need to be more disciplined with the tracking and stop underestimating my Sunday activity. Appreciate all the help!

Go get those gains, Harry. See you in the 100kg club soon!

Keep us posted on the progress after a month of 3500.

You've got this. Consistency is the only way forward.
