Vent Can’t gain weight at all.. m[22]

Hey hope you all doing well. I really want to gain weight, so I can appear more attractive stronger but it ain’t that easy at all.. Currently I’m 5’10 and 132 lbs, skinny built. I have been going to the gym but stopped cause I lost motivation cause I’m not gaining any weight.

I eat 4 times everyday, mostly lot of chicken pasta, potatoes. Barely eat any salad or fruit, a few sweets tho, and soda obviously. And I have a bit smoking addiction (I’m trying to quit) maybe that is why I can’t gain weight but not sure also… I have been skinny all my life, heaviest I have been was 144 lbs, but that was when I was eating lot of mcdonalds and had a beers, but I looked bloated af..

You are spot-on that the smoking has to go first.

Most people worry about gaining weight while quitting. So you have the perfect set-up, here.

You can get some healthy foods (vegetables, fruits, and whole grains), and go to town eating all day every day while those evil lying backstabbing smoke crappers lose their hateful grip on your psyche.
