I am trying to gain weight because I know it will force my bones to develop in certain ways as well as causing an increase in enzymatic conversion of some hormones. Basically I am "bulking" but not that much interested in gaining muscle mass.
However, I am unable to gain serious weight.
I am at almost 130kg with a bodyfat around 16% (my fat distribution is odd). I've been eating large quantitites of butter (high fat, around 250g a day) with lots of sugar, cocoa powder and oatmeal (for taste, obv.) every day yet my weight hasn't increased. I've also tried eating large quantities of meat and rice yet again nothing seems to happen. Though I know some claim that to be successful in bulking you have to eat constantly and very high amounts, I don't think I'd be able to do it like that.
Why do people claim that it's "extremely bad" to mix a high fat source with a high carb source because it should lead to rapid weight gain when clearly it does not (in most, I assume)? If it did then eating high amounts of chocolate should be fattening but it's not.
Those who gain weight easily gain weight easily on almost anything, and those who don't gain weight easily don't do so on almost anything they eat.
