how can i cope with the fact that i may be too tall for my own good? I can never put on enough weight. I am too poor. I have to provide enough for me and my dying mother so I'm always hungry and it drives me fucking insane. I have so much physical potential that I'm never fucking reaching due to my economic status. My stomach always grumble and people mock me. People call me a twig, a stickbug, they walk all over me. It's not like I lack confidence either, I call out their behavior but they double down because I'm lanky. Women emasculate me by calling me "cute", men don't take me serious when they ask me my weight and I have to tell them that I'm 150 lbs at 6'2. Everyone laughs at me in my face, even my own family. They always have called me a stringbean growing up, it's not my fault that my stomach always hurt because I never got enough to eat. It's not my fault that I'm poor and my budget is stretched to the limit. What the hell can I even do at this point? It is driving me crazy how comfortable people are mocking my body. People pick on me, whenever I bend my head forward they touch the bones on my spine and call me gross. People put their fingers around my risk or say I have a bony butt. Girls say they wouldn't feel like I could protect them because I'm underweight. I fucking hate my life. Literally if I just made a little extra to get some more food I would be in such a better place. I don't struggle with commitment, I have worked out for over a year consistently, while I did get stronger my body only got toned. I barely eat enough to put on weight so it's nigh impossible for me to bulk. Should I just blackpill and accept that I'll never get bigger until I make more?
>heightmogged by a womanIt's so fucking over.
>>33843104I'm a man.
>>33843116>6'2>too talllol
>>33843119I mean am I too tall for how much I eat, I don't eat a lot, I usually skip breakfast and dinner so I just have rice and beans with maybe some fruit for lunch. If I was shorter but at my weight I would look a lot fuller and stockier I'd think. Perhaps my ignorance is speaking, though.
>>33843099>Women emasculate me by calling me "cute"They're flirting with you, you autistic buffoon.
>>33843099When you buy chicken, buy the whole chicken and use the whole chicken. Get the ones that are a day out from expiring, they're always like 50% off. Learn to dismantle it (takes 10 minutes tops for the inexperienced, 2 when you get good), freeze portions for later, and use the carcass to make soup stock/get the extra meat off the bones.Skip buying sodas, juice mix is stupid cheap these days. When you buy rice, buy big bags and put the rice into airtight containers for storage.Food banks are your friend.There are a lot of apps designed to sell food that is going to be thrown out/disposed of at significant discounts.Grocery isles usually have fruit that's close to spoilage bundled for wicked deals too.Growing basil and dill are astonishingly easy and very flavorful.Spaghetti can be super cheap, $2 a box would likely feed you and your mother 2 dinners each with great portions!Ground meat is grossly overpriced, but I usually buy these frozen chicken meat tubes 4x1lbs for $10, they make fantastic taco meat, bolognese sauce, etc. I lived off of chicken red sauce pasta for over a year during the great plague of 2020 after I got laid off.I hope some of these tips help you!
>>33843166Thanks a lot anon. This means a lot to me and I'll definitely be using this.
>>33843179Track your calories and your protein intake too! Sounds like you've got the working out part down pat, in a perfect world for a bulk try to get about .7g of protien per lb of bodyweight. Most influencers recommend 1g per lb but you get 95% of the gains with 70% of the intake so if you're trying to be cost-effective that's probably a good ratio to maintain.There are a shit ton of YouTube videos about cooking on a budget, I really hope that you find a way to make the best of your situation.
>>33843239Thanks anon, if I eat "too" much, would my bulk be faster or would I out-eat my muscle gain and get excess fat?
>>33843261If you have excessive caloric intake your body will find ways to store it in fat, striking a perfect balance between having enough calories to develop muscle but not enough to develop fat is basically impossible. There is such thing as eating too much on a bulk, but giving your body a saturated energy store to draw from as well as the appropriate building blocks for muscle is going to guarantee that you're able to build muscle as fast as possible. I like to get a bit fluffy when I bulk, that's how I know my muscles are growing as fast as they can. I'm also very active at work and that maintains my agility regardless of weight gain. My sweet spot is usually around 500 extra calories a day, yours could be much less./FIT/ can be a retarded wasteland but they would be a pretty good resource for you if your main focus is figuring out body recomposition.
>>33843294Thanks again, I check out /fit/ sometimes too lol. I stand and move around a lot from my job so I guess I shouldn't be worried and the extra fat can keep me energized too and not exhausted all of the time.
