Hello sir
Thanks for your questions
I understand your concern and noted it
If a person has a high metabolism, they may not gain much weight even when eating high-energy foods. Frequent physical activity. Athletes or people who engage in high levels of physical activity, such as runners, may burn significant amounts of calories that result in low body weight. And genetics also play an important role here as it differs from person to person body type.
Next Steps
If you are underweight and struggle with putting on, you'll likely need more calories than someone looking to add some additional muscle mass to an already healthy frame. For some, increasing calories by 5 to 10% (or roughly 100 to 300 calories a day) is enough to support additional lean muscle growth.
Health Tips
