Has it been easy for you to gain weight? Some people have high metabolisms that make it difficult to put on weight, regardless of what their diet is like. I know my cousin had a very high metabolism when he was a teenager, he could eat a lot of food but never gain an ounce of weight. I have a coworker who has the same issue, no matter how much he eats he barely gains anything. I'm sure that will catch up with him as he ages though. As for me, I do find that it's somewhat easy for me to gain weight.

I find that it is very easy for me to gain weight but that has been something that tends to run through my mum's side of the family for all females we have noticed.

I try to stick to a balanced diet to ensure I am getting all I need and also to ensure that I do not put on a lot of weight. We often joke that we look at a slice of chocolate cake and put weight on LOL

However it may seem, it is very difficult because there is such a specificity of the body when it very quickly digests all the food you eat and you simply cannot gain weight, so it is not as easy as it seems.

Gaining weight for me would depend on how much energy (calories) I consume versus how much I burn. If I consistently eat more calories than I use, I would likely gain weight over time. Factors like my metabolism, activity level, and overall health would also play a role in how easily I gain weight.

Yes, I find myself gaining weight very easily. I had once gained more than 5kgs in 2 weeks. That's insane right?
