Eat 5000 calories a day and don't do cardio. If after 1 month you weigh the same, report to Nasa because you broke thermodynamics.

I don't really work out much, although I do plank and do push ups most days but that's all really

eating does not equate to bad metabolism
by lifting and doing cardio you increase your daily calorie minimum intake.
Called TDEE
If you are currently eating 2k calories, you'll soon be needing 2.1, 2.2, etc just to maintain.
Your metabolism has actually increased slightly.
You'll go through bulk cycles where you'll more than what you need. You'll gain a little weight also. Next spring you'll begin your cut, where you go back down to or below your minimum calorie needs. You'll maintain some mass, you repeat this cycle until x goal is achieved.
metabolism being "ruined" means your body is going through binge cycles where you are not eating near equal amounts on a daily basis.
being a skinny-fat means you already do this. You have no structure in your diet.

Do you eat anything other than that? What kind of meat?
>>37417354
>gain muscle without ruining metabolism
What the fuck are you going on about? Muscle mass is actually going to increase your metabolism a bit
>>37418345
>eating a certain amount
>didn't gain weight
Eat even more then
Saying that you have lost fat and gained muscle simultaneously. But still eat more otherwise you'll be one of those guys who is pretty week and looks unimpressive despite lifting for years
>>37418365
ground beef or chicken breast
I've been 150 for couple years now.... like 5
homeostasis brah
I'm a recovering skelly, and I can say that anyone who says that they can't gain weight does not eat enough.
Start counting calories and see for yourself.

Prolonged,isolated cardio's a meme. Proper resistance training both builds strength and increases cardiovascular health
