Why men can't gain weight

Some men never seem to gain weight no matter how much they eat. It seems that the more they eat, the thinner they get. This makes many people feel helpless and anxious. There are reasons why men cannot gain weight, such as genetic factors, and it may also be caused by more yang metabolism. In addition to these reasons, there are other reasons why men cannot gain weight. What are the reasons why men cannot gain weight? Let's take a look.

1. What is the reason why men can’t gain weight?

1. Strong genes

Just look at your parents and then look at yourself to see how powerful genes are. Whether a person is fat or thin, genetic factors play a big role.

2. Vigorous metabolism

Basal metabolism refers to the minimum energy consumption required to maintain all organs of the human body. In other words, even if we sit or lie down, we still consume energy, and the energy consumed mainly comes from body fat. The difference between the basal metabolic rate of an average person and the average value is no more than 20%. In other words, the difference between a person with a high basal metabolic rate and a person with a low basal metabolic rate can be as high as 40%, which is quite significant.

3. Digestion without absorption

Some thin people have relatively weak gastrointestinal functions. The food we eat daily is mainly digested through the digestive tract composed of the mouth, esophagus, stomach and other organs. The stomach, as the main digestive organ, mechanically and chemically digests food through its own peristalsis and the action of gastric acid. After digestion, the food is broken down into absorbable components.

2. Why some people cannot gain weight

1. Different dietary structure

Some people eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, but the calories are not necessarily high because these foods have a relatively low calorie content; some people eat very little, and if you ask them what they eat, they will say cake, pizza, ice cream... naturally the calories are not low.

2. Life routine

Some living habits will greatly affect the change of weight. For example, eating. Basically, people who have three meals a day regularly are in good shape or thinner. People who eat small meals frequently or eat a lot are fatter. Staying up late or having poor sleep quality can also make people lose weight. Sleep is a very important thing.

3. Weak gastrointestinal function

Some people never gain weight no matter how much they eat. The biggest physiological reason may be that their gastrointestinal system is weak and their digestive and absorption systems cannot function normally. The food they eat is excreted before it is digested, so they naturally cannot gain weight. If you belong to this type, don't be happy about it secretly. Such people have weak constitutions and low immunity, and are actually in a sub-healthy state.

3. Notes

Eat regularly, eat on time, don't stay up late, and exercise more.
