Tip to not get fat... Stop getting fat! If you realize there is an issue/something you don't like, then fucking change it! Grow a fucking backbone and put down the Wendys. Go run n shit.

need more like this. sorry to tell you OP but this is your only answer

keep in mind that 3 out of his 5 "facts" are complete bs tho

but you said in your original post that you eat continuously and don't want to stop doing that and have no intention to go to the gym. Those are basically the 2 main things that need to change. At least one of the 2 does.

You're saying you want to do something about it, but don't want to do what is actually necessary. That's backwards. Actions speak louder than words. You're saying you want to do something about it, but your actions (and words, realistically) are saying otherwise.

It's great to hear you are doing plenty of running, but in order to keep eating the way you are without continuing to gain weight, you need to do more physical activity, or eat less. You can maybe get by without weight gain by eating differently, but it doesn't sound like you want to change your eating habits.

That's all there is to it.

Eat less calories that your body needs


booooom

I work in a metal trade company, doing more physical activity than you on your workout day (could be right, could be wrong, but waaaay more than what average joe does), except I do it every single day. On top, as I mentioned, I do some running aswell, I'd have to guess there is no problem with my lifestyle. Got this hunger for like a year now, gained 10 kgs. I still have my 6pack, but I'm just forseeing that I'll get fat. I would've liked some brotips to avoid that, and so far read that drinking (more) water would be one thing to do, which I already started doing.

I see. Well you could take up running one more day a week to help. drinking water does help for some people. It doesn't for others. The idea is to drink water so you don't feel hungry as much I think. Just in a general sense to be more hydrated is good regardless. It doesn't work for me.

If you drink a lot of sugary drinks, cut those out. That can reduce your caloric intake a fair bit. That's the only change I had to make to stop gaining weight a couple years ago and I'm super glads I did because water now tastes good to me and quenches my thirst, where as it never used to.

I doubt you're doing more than me on a workout day (I go pretty damn hard at the gym) but that's not your point. The work you do may not be as much a calorie/energy burning activity as you think. That is often the case with work related things.

Out of curiousity what is your weight/height/age?

Could it be that some of the weight gain is muscle development? if all that 10kg was fat, you'd be a pudgy bastard (unless you're really tall) and I doubt your bmi would stay below 25, nor have visible abs still

I'm 70ish kg, not measured too often, since I don't really care about it, ~175 cm, 24 yo
it's obviously some level of muscle development, since I was pretty skinny, and now I'm like looking normal

Seems pretty normal to me imo. I went through similar weight gains through my late teens and early/mid twenties. I wouldn't even worry about weight gain if you still have visible abs. I'd guess a chunk of the weight gain is muscle. You're just too used to being so skinny. The fat gain in that time will just go hand in hand with the muscle gain. If all this started about the time you started this job, that's probably why.

I wouldn't worry about it too much tbh.

If you really want to not gain any more fat or even lose fat, I would reduce your caloric intake a little or do a little bit of physical activity each day like go for a 20 minute jog every day or something.

By most people's standards you're still pretty skinny at that height and weight. I'm the same height but around 75-76kg.

Topic title should be "afraid of getting too much muscle". When you burn a lot, you should eat a lot.

I worked the same as you, heavy labour for 12 hours a day for over a year. I gained 5kgs while also still seeing my 6-pack.

The "hunger" will go away when you get another job, otherwise, don't worry about it when you can still see your abs.
