    How could I possibly eat less and exercise a sh*t ton more, and actually gain weight??

    @youngwolf Without knowing a lot more about what you’re doing, you could be undereating and your body storing more fat to not die. Cause the body is a dramatic thing at most times. Or, it could be that since you’re training a lot, you could be storing more glycogen, and water
