Where is my weight gain?
Some people regularly comment that I'm skinny. These same people also promised that American food would make me gain weight. Now, it's only been one week, but I have noticed no increase in weight. Based on my current trend, I expect to keep eating larger than usual quantities of food, mostly with added sugar, only to get the sugar-crazies, to sleep

As for the weight issues, what you want is healthy weight gain I assume. Junk food obviously isn't the answer as you may gain weight, but you'll get a less-than-desirable pot belly. Try protein - lean meat, fish, eggs, raw nuts (filled with 'good' fat). Look at the recommended daily intake of calories for a man of your build and age and then go slightly over that number.

Yes, I am in the States for about five weeks. I realise now I may not have given you the heads up on the dates, etc. The last weeks before travel were either work-hectic or flu-ridden, neither of which lent themselves to farewelling the odd gamut of friendships I have.
Will fill you in on my travels and what-not on my return unless you have begun your journeys in the meantime. Also, there is other news to tell. Mayhap, I'll post about it when there's been appropriate confirmations.

Thanks for the heads up on weight gain. I know the junk food weight gain is not the best approach but anything, even a potbelly would be better than (or at least different to) being 12kg underweight for my age/height/gender. Seriously, I average more than 10 under the 'healthy' weight range.
Exercising to gain muscle mass should also be an approach. I may have more time for this later in the year. (The previously mentioned news is related to this. It's all very exciting but I'll explain a little later.)
Details later.
