The thing they are missing is that I don’t drink smoothies because they’re healthy, I drink them because they taste good
It’s what I have to remind people when they are trying to change their diet to get in shape and lose weight.
I tell them, your not eating for enjoyment, your eating to fuel your body.
I was very fit, but I was eating like canned tuna and Greek yogurt, not mixed but one after another. That’s not a delicious lunch, but it was just the nutrition that was needed.
My scrawny ass, turning my banana smoothies into 1,000 calorie shakes to get gains:
I have a super tall friend who can’t gain weight. No matter what he tries, he is super lanky.
Eat more is usually the correct advice there. If you're used to eating at a low maintenance intake it can be very difficult to actually get used to eating a surplus of calories, so you end up feeling full and eating way less than you think. Count them calories.
I've had success with drinking calories (big thousand calorie shakes) and spreading out meals/snacks every 2 hours.
Yeah, he was doing some kind of shake at some point.
