I've tried Nutella a few times.... yuck!

I love peanut butter, but have to reduce my intake due to the fats (cholesterol)

I think the biggest factor is prioritizing getting fit over weight loss (or gain in my case). 45 mins of solid cardio seems to be melting away what little body fat I have and toning me up.

My workout is simple: 45 mins on an elliptical, starting to sweat before the end of minute-2 right through to the end. My pace averages 133 steps per minute and that sees me hit 6,000 steps, which is 3km (~1.86 miles).

As my cardio and stamina have improved, once I start passing my step count goal on a regular basis. I increase the resistance to get a tougher workout over the same time and distance.

I've been at it since Dec.07th and used to struggle to maintain 120 steps/min with resistance at about 1/3 max; now I blow through 150+ steps/min at the same setting and can maintain 128-135 steps/min at 1/2-max resistance as my new "natural" workout speed. i.e. I am not make a conscious effort to go fast.
 
In my pursuit of weight gain, I might have to switch over from a nearly pure protein shake to a weight gain shake because I'm almost always hungry and staying +- 1lb since mid-December. The protein shake I am using (Mutant Pro) has only 120 calories with 2g carbs (1g sucralose), and 24g of whey protein. Because I'm the skinny guy with a fast metabolism (ectomorph), it could simply be that I am not taking in enough calories per day.

Looking at Mutant Mass as a weight gainer, which has 1,100 calories, 192g carbs (18g sucralose), and 56g of whey protein per shake. I could split the serving size in half to take two shakes per day rather than chugging a litre (32oz) at once.

I think I'm simply burning more calories than I consume. Changing my "food diet" isn't really viable as my wife has the opposite body type and metabolism and I want us to have the same meals together, even though we have opposite goals. BTW our meals are almost all fresh veggie with some fish/chicken thrown in.
 
Carbs, carbs, carbs bro. When I worked in a burn unit, where people need a gajillion calories to fuel all the healing they’re doing, we made milk shakes with Boost and ice cream.
 
I figured so and my current protein shake is minimal carbs. I have to work hard on lowering my bad cholesterol (LDL) at the same time as I am trying to gain weight, so animal fats have to be severely limited (use whiskey as a carbon animal-fat-offset? 😜) and I have to drop from 2% milk down to skim or 1%. :cautious:
 
157.8 before going to bed; 157.0 waking up. Almost a full lb difference! :eek:

Ergo, if people want to lost weight, sleep more! 🤪
 
Down a couple more pounds this morning, I think that's about 12 total for the month and really in just about a week since I got a slow start. Pretty happy about it. Might implement a fasting day this week. We will see how it goes.
 
This would be what would be birthed I am sure and it would have some evil Bingo item attached to it
