Gaining weight takes so much dedication (and money). Been eating tons of grilled chicken breasts, salmon (wild caught sockeye) black beans and brown rice. Lots of peanut butter too (no salt/unsweetened).
Breakfasts are my only question, i've been eating egg whites and steel cut oats (w/ blueberries) and was wondering if I should just switch back to eating hard boiled eggs w/ the yolk.
I have to say, the one unexpected benefit is that you get so stuffed that the cravings for junk food have gone down.
Workouts have been kinda tough too because I love doing cardio but I burn calories so easily that I've had to cut a lot of it down. Been doing a lot of Yoga and stretches during off days.
Lastly, sleep is really the biggest challenge. Trying to get my body at least 7 hours of recovery, but it's always difficult to find the time.
