    Age and biology are big factors here. For me to gain, at the pace you go weekly, I’d have to make myself sick eating enough to keep up.

        I dont know yhe other commentor, but i am pretty much permanantly poor because i have to eat about 2800 just to maintain my weight. I literally cannot afford to feed myself the massive amount of food it requires for my body to simply maintain.

        Im 30, 145 lbs, 6’3", and it only takes my body about 45 minutes for food to go in one end and out the other, whereas its supposed to be closer to 8 hours
