Hi,

Im a hardgainer trying to improve my diet to gain weight. My question is, can you use the frequency of how much you have to poo to guage if your eating the right amount? I take a dump 2x a day, do I need to eat more?

p.s. don't be a joke hero, take this thread seriously.

1. Your weights going up each week is a good indicator
2. Fitday
3. Your not eating enough 2x's a day is nothing

Whaaat? Are you serious there, or is this a joke? I eat ~4000 calories per day and only have one robust crap per day.

He meant he only takes a sh!t twice a day, which doesn't indicate if you are eating too much or too little. First we need to establish if you are really a hardgainer or not:

-How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
-Have you got your diet nailed? (If you think you do post it up)
-Is your routine properly structured and do you train with 100% focus & intensity?
-Are you getting your 8 hours of sleep per night?

Answer these questions, and we will help you out.

...cr'apping is irrelevant. Just shows how much fibre you had.

Better way to check your diet is to write down EVERYTHING you eat in a day, and caluculate how many calories you had.

This thread makes me wanna puke...

i was 80 lbs freshmen year in highschool, 125 lbs now a junior in college

I get about 6 hours of sleep each night, this probably is my problem. My major keeps me hella busy, but i'll devote more time to getting on bed on time from now on. Thanks guys.

Here's some more info on me in case you can pick anything out that im doing wrong:
125 lbs, 5'7''
during highschool gained 5 lbs a year
during college, gained about 10 lbs per year (not sure about this year though)
ger around 6 hours a sleep a day (i already know this is pretty bad)
work out schedule: shoulders one day, legs next day, take one day rest, chest one day, back next day, take one day rest, repeat.
Diet: Vary's cuz I eat at the dinning commons in my dorms, here's a general day:
breakfast:
2 egg whites, one whole egg
cup of cream of wheat or oatmeal
couple spoon fulls of cottage cheese and yogurt
glass of milk
3 slices of whole what bread( uptoasted )
Lunch:
usually some asian chicked and rice bowl
half a burrito
a few cubes of tofu
1 glass of milk
snack
one sandwhich one whole wheat bread with cheese, cucumbers, 2 slices of some meat
one serving of protien shake ( i use cytogainer 54 grams of protien, 71 g cards,)
Dinner
chicken breat
tofu cubes
red potato or some pasta
2 glasses of milk
after dinner:
another sandwhich
before bed
one serving a meal replacement shake (14 g protien, 6g fat, 21 g carbs)
2 bread rolls or slices of whole wheat bread

its hard to guage how much im eating since i eat the dinning commons, i can't look up like the servings or anything. But, when I eat till im hella full, its about the same amount as a average guy (i get full easily), so I try to eat often instead to get more food in me.

Your crap frequency isn't directly related to eating "enough". I generally take a dump once a day, in the morning, no matter how much I eat. If you see the numbers on the scale rising, and see the change in your physique, then you're eating enough. Just make sure you're eating the RIGHT stuff.

Try not to eat too much before bed. Your last meal should be 1-2 hours before you hit the sack. No later than that.

It also seems like you only have 3 meals a day, and that you may be loading up these meals. Try splitting this amount of food up over 5-6, maybe even 7 meals a day. This will help the "full" feeling you get. You should feel content, not stuffed.

k, I gained .7 pounds since my last post. I know its not just .7 pounds of water or anything like that cuz its .7 more pounds that i have ever weighted before.

Some Things I changed about my weight gaining plans to achieve this:

got more sleep (from 6 to 6.5 hours a night)
eat more protien/carbs between meals
started taking squats seriously.

Theirs always something you can do to gain weight, as long as you keep evolving your plan. . . . .

no, there's nothing magical about gaining weight

lift + eat + sleep = growth

simple as that. if you think there's a magic pill you'll stay 125 all your life.

as far as diet is concerned I would put you on a see food diet. get in 250g of protein every day and then eat whatever the hell you want, and then eat some more.
