HELP!! I have a Fast metabolism - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Impstar17 · 12-03-2008, 11:04 AM

Hey all,

I have been going gym on and off now for about 18 Months and just can not put any size on. I have an extremely fast metabolism rate and just cant seem to find an eating routine and training system that works!

Any Advice would be appreciated please?

I am 27 years old 6ft 6 inches and weigh just 86 KG I want to be around 95KG.

Eat more carbs. Thats the short answer.

I'm also 6ft 6in.

When I first started training I was 230lbs, by eating about 5000kcals per day I got upto 260lbs, and have dieted down to about 250lbs ish now.

Odds are you're not eating enough - at our height you really need to eat and train hard to pack the weight on as our bodys use so much fuel just to keep us going on a day to day basis.

Well i dont rearly have one i just eats as many times a day and whatever i can, i try to eat pasta rice chicken etc but i think because i am always changing my routines and diets i just cant see the results! What i am hoping for is a Diet to try that has worked for someone else with a fast metabolic rate.

True. But for most people I'd say its too high. Most people don't need to eat anywhere near what they try and eat...

Diet at the time was:

So did you stick to the same foods/ diet for a period of time or did you change the foods?

What shakes where you taking (brand) ?

Brand of shakes - no idea. anything from USN to MyProtein, just whatever I had in the cupboard / fancied when I went supp shopping. Brand doesn't really matter.

Ad that time I ate chicken as its better cold than beef is (no microwave at that office)

I eat alot of beef and rice these days as I have access to a microwave.

In all honesty I could have dropped the protein to 200g and still seen the same gains.

I did think the protein was quite high, surely your body could not digest that much in a day and your end up ****ing it out.

Do you mind telling what your tow day workout routines are please?

so if you dont have a diet and just eat what you can how do you know you are eating enough or even how many cals you are eating??

why are you constanatly changing your routine?

post up what you eat over a 3 day period if you do not know that now then record everything you eat today/thurs and fri then post it up i would guess you are eating very little to what you need...
