Hey yo!

Good to be back! just got busy because of the workload so thank GOD it's Friday ❤
upon teaching and mentoring some people about fitness and their physique I've just remembered this question and it is actually serious.

"I eat a lot, Why I didn't gain weight?

Well, number one reason is you're an ectomorph body type plus aren't eating too much Ectomorphic describes as Thin, lean, and long and they have a fast or high metabolism. Struggling too much at eating basically a "Hard gainers"

Some reasons are:

• Frequent Physical Activity
  This seems to be normal especially If you're an athlete such as; Runner, Triathlete or Swimmer, etc. Upon doing a lot of movement on this physical activity you really burn a significant amount of calories.

• Family History

  well, some people have low BMI because they inherited it from their family and got those physical attributes.

• Mental Illness or Eating Disorder

  Having poor mental health can affect your eating habits, appetite, and diet.
  If you can't handle stress and anxiety properly this factor occurs and it's really a struggle, and it can result in no food to take at all so watch out for this disorder.
  
  
  How can we handle this Underweight thing?

• Reduce Body Stress

  You can reduce your stress by doing yoga or meditation, also you can try deep breathing exercises.

• Increase your food-intake

  Take small meals every 3-4 hours and make sure that the foods you've taken are rich in carbohydrates and protein. Veggies and fruit are a good source for this.

• Do exercise

  There's an exercise that can help to improve your weight such as powerlifting or bodyweight exercises and Don't do cardio too much it is not advisable.
  The goal is to gain, not to lose!

• Avoid empty calories
  Aside from protein, eat proper foods with high calories it's really a big help for gaining weight but always look for excess fats, salt, and sugar. You should avoid it!

• Take Supplements (Weight Gainer)

  This supplement will really help you, smoothies or protein shakes there's a lot of mass gainer out there. Just look for a product that suits you.

• Slow down or control your metabolism
  Try to slow down your metabolism by using relaxation, instead of eating a bunch of foods in one try to cut it into several meals. Cut your whole meal into 3 meals and take it every 3-4 hours by this, you can relax your metabolism.
