<p>yeah wow im built exactly like Corroborator about 6’2 6’3 150-160 usually wear 29 or 30 waist i think that 32 or 33 would be average and maybe 36 and up would be a bit bigger</p>
<p>32-34 is average for guys and for girls 8-10! (not 12) and PLUS, stores, cuts and fabrics may also affect the sizing so it’s tough!!</p>
<p>Here’s a tip for you ‘slim jims’ that can’t put on any weight no matter how hard you try.</p>
<p>I recently found out that a simple diet alteration can cause you to put on pounds fast. It’s also helpful for muscle building. No major changes are required - simply increase your intake of protein. Calories also help, but they tend to come on their own. 1.5 x bodyweight in kg seems to work well as a formula for the amount of protein to get per day. </p>
<p>Drinking a few bottles of milk and eating some of the protein snack bars out there is an easy way to get the necessary amount each day without sacrificing any favorite foods. Just eat smaller meals during the day.</p>
<p>How much food did you guys keep in your dorm room?</p>
<p>If you’re like me, you probably do a good bit of walking anyway. I’d say just don’t eat after four o’clock. Take some vitamins, eat whatever you want until four, and then nothing else but water. You’ll keep the weight off.</p>
<p>that’s really not sensible at all. Maybe no carbs after four, but not eating at all after four is terrible. you should eat a small meal every three hours to keep your metabolism going. nothing huge… maybe some almonds… deffinitely no fruit or carbs though, eat those in the morning. if you don’t eat after four though, you’ll really be fasting for 18 hours, and that’s terrible for your body. you’ll go into starvation mode and you’ll burn less calories. just eat healthy and you won’t have to go on any drastic diets.</p>
<p>Drinking a lot of water keeps your metabolism going because the water forces your body to warm up. </p>
<p>That’s not drastic, either.</p>
<p>haha, **** the freshman 15, after the first two days of lacrosse practice I think ive lost 3lbs</p>
<p>Honestly can we end this thread already? One answer would have been sufficient.</p>
<p>my brother gained 45 pounds…but as a sophomore, rather than as a freshman, which makes hardly any sense.</p>

"If you consume more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.</p>
<p>10 easy rules. They worked for me.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Lift 6 days a week. Little bit of cardio before unless you are bulking. Substitue cardio for lifting a few days if you are cutting.</p></li>
<li><p>Never drink soda. Water is free.</p></li>
<li><p>Cafeteria offers dessert every day. Don’t eat it.</p></li>
<li><p>Eat breakfast. Porridge/Oatmeal, hard-boiled egg whites, fruit. No poptarts</p></li>
<li><p>Good snacks include: protein bars, cans of tuna, peanuts.</p></li>
<li><p>Don’t eat pizza.</p></li>
<li><p>No white bread. Only whole wheat.</p></li>
<li><p>Keep pasta to a minimum. Go for the rice or potatoes (no gravy).</p></li>
<li><p>In salads, eat the spinach/romaine lettuce not iceberg. No dressing.</p></li>
<li><p>Chicken breast, vegetables and rice. Simple dinner to cook for $5"
Best advice in the whole thread. Everybody should consider what this guy said.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I’m a guy and I’m 5’10 150 pounds. I workout 5 days a week.
-I don’t drink soda, don’t eat fastfood
-Cut way back on pork and beef
-Eat a lot of chicken breast
-Avoid the cafeteria if you can.
-Eat wheat/multi-grain bread only
-Egg whites</p>
<p>A little advice for people trying to lose weight…
If you go to the gym and use some of the exercise equipment, put the resistance up and go at a moderately fast speed. Pedaling/walking slowly with no resistance is going to do almost nothing for you and you are going to be frustrated with your lack of progress.</p>
<p>Thats a good plan but its better for your body if you give it a day to recover so only lift 3 times a week. At least dont work out the same muscle groups two days straight and instead work out harder when you do go.</p>
<p>Do you need to allow recovery time for aerobic exercise, or is it better to do that every day?</p>
<p>BTW, I’m a 5’6-7" male, 160 lbs. virtually no muscle. Obviously not very happy about the Freshman 15.</p>
<p>No, if you are burning fat don’t bother resting every other day for aerobic excercise.
And yeah I second what Worried Students said! There are so many people at the gym that are running at a snails pace… you need to be running at a fairly fast pace for 20-30 minutes a day if you want to burn fat.
If you are a guy I would suggest not doing cardio every day but instead maybe 3 days a week if you are a fat guy, or 2 days a week if you are just normal.
Then the other 3-4 days lift… and you can’t just lift a light amount, if you can lift it more than 7 times without your arms giving out it is TOO light to build muscle.</p>
<p>for girls : if you are fat just hit the treadmill for 20 minutes every day and run at a fast pace, you might want to do some weights.
and don’t worry Women CANNOT get ripped like guys so don’t be scared of lifting you don’t have enough testosterone in your body to look ripped! alot of women I see lifting 20-30 lbs which is nothing it is not doing anything for you, most of them are scared of getting “buff” when it is simply not possible for a woman (without steroids)</p>
<p>For running, it would be a little different… But if you wake up and your legs are really sore and its for you to move your legs high, it might be better not to run. At that point it will be hard for you to get your muscles loose enough and it become easier to pull a muscle. Its not worth not being able to work out for a month because youre injured to run once. If you feel fine which is probably likely if youre not running a ton then youre probably good to go.</p>
<p>worried- 5’10" and 150lb’s pretty light unless your BF is VERY low… bulk harder man!</p>

<p>it’s actually 1.5lb’s per lb. higher ectos can go up to 2g/lb. Carbs are also important. If you really want to gain weight, make yourself a diet.</p>
