so i’m underweight and tryna commit to a diet plan rn

i saw a youtube vid where a trainer recommended that you should take your body weight and multiply it by 15 or 18, this is supposed to give you a relatively accurate number that puts you in a caloric surplus

so i’m 122 rn and the number of cals per day i should be aiming for is 2,196. does this sound accurate to y’all ?

add 300-500 calories to that and you'll start gaining

yep 🛐
start on a program so you don't f*** around and so you can track your progress, I recommend GreySkull LP
https://greyskull.app/
Check out thefitness.wiki too, great info on there and easily digestible

Personally I’d take powdered creatine that you can measure yourself.

I’m not knowledgable on the type of creatine they’ve used in this supplement. I just know of standard creatine monohydrate. Not sure if maybe this one you linked was suggested by a doctor.
They added food colouring and maltodextrin to it which is completely unnecessary.

I wouldn’t take this.

You might even wanna experiment with creatine doses which is harder with this. I read 0.1 x your body weight in kg is an ideal dose.

OK OK

started doing all these calisthenics routines and pull ups daily and my weaker forearm side (u know why) elbow started killing me. also mightve been because i stretched that arm playing tennis last weekend but think I got tennis/golfer elbow

i've been doing cali too as my whole country is in lockdown.. how can you do pull ups daily? for me i can't.. usually my back is f***ed after the first day and can barely do any.

i've been doinng push ups daily tho.. 100 minimum more during chest day.

ya but imo 3 shakes is crazy you can eat that much cals an more if you want but me personally if i had 3 shakes my stomach would be all f***ed up an id be in the washroom, if you want to eat alot to gain weight or w.e eat small amounts like every 3 hours like pnb sandwiches almonds nuts etc

OK OK

im in lock down as well (australia? im guessing ur there maybe?).

I can do pull ups easily daily but not neccesarily a full back based workout. I mix it up in that sense but at minimum I can do one set of 8 daily
