How tall are you? I'm just wondering because I'm 6'3" and according to the BMI, I'm overweight unless I weigh 200 lbs lol.

BMI is BS. I'm 6' tall. I remember BMI saying I should say 170lbs in HS. I weighed 197lbs. I laughed my ass off. My dad was 5'6 180lbs when he was in shape. I was in the best shape of my life at 239lbs. Desipte weighing 42lbs more than I did in HS, I could wear the same clothes.

I'm 5'6".  I have a very high metabolism and don't gain weight from eating.  If I don't work out I don't get fat, but instead just stay super thin.  The goal for me isn't to lose weight, but to instead gain weight by building muscle.

Lucky, I got screwed over. I was extremely active in my youth and then an injury took away the entire winter worth of physical activity my body grew accustomed to; but, my hunger levels never changed 😞

Been doing the 5x5 stronglifts program for about a month with a friend. A month ago he was complaining that we started with too light a weight, but that stuff adds up quick. We are about a workout or two away from doing the big boy plates aka 45lbs in squats, bench press and deadlifts which will be a first for me. Now my problem is eating enough food consistently. Shakes are my go-to, but damn does it get old drinking that sludge sometimes.
