Any advice for gaining weight? No matter how much I eat it seems like it all magically disappears, and when I work out I lose more than I gain.

You're probably still in a deficit. You are always burning calories whether in motion or stationary. The healthiest way to gain weight is a get out of that deficit while focusing on hypertrophic workouts.

Are you tracking calories?

I am not because I tend to have a hard time remember keeping track of those things. Is this one of the main things I should be focusing on?

Is there a specific way I can get out of the deficit? Also im searching up hypertrophic workouts and im kind of confused on how they differ from typical work outs. Is it with smaller/lighter weights for longer reps? Or am I getting that mixed up?

That’s fair. I just figured eating 4 whole meals and other stuff in between seemed like it’d be enough 😭
