I’ve recently started working out at home and I’m doing pretty well. Throughout my life, I’ve never had to watch what I eat because of my incredibly fast metabolism. Despite eating junk food and sweets, I remained skinny and weak, weighing only around 57kg. However, I’ve decided to make a change because, even though I’m not gaining weight, I know I’m still unhealthy and not in good shape. I’m curious if having a fast metabolism will affect my ability to gain muscle and weight from working out. I hope this isn’t a dumb question—I’m just really curious.
Great question! I also have a fast metabolism, and while I don’t know the theoretical details, my personal experience suggests that it won’t hinder your progress. As long as you consume enough calories and animal proteins to meet your metabolic needs, you should be able to gain muscle effectively. In my case, I managed to build a lot of muscle and learned that it can happen quite quickly.
I’ve also had trouble maintaining my weight, and it’s become even harder as I’ve gotten older. However, I’ve noticed that when I train, I see immediate gains, despite my age.
Certainly! Here’s a paraphrased version:
“Yes, because your muscles require energy to grow. For more tips on increasing your calorie intake healthily, visit r/gainit.”
