How do eating waivers work? And what are the best ways to gain weight in two months?

2019-02-04T01:00:15-05:00

So I got a weight waiver for BMT, and I leave in two months. I cannot go to the gym every day, but can do at home workouts. What are some good ways to gain weight in the next two months before I ship?

*details: BMI 17.65, 5’3 and 103lbs, would love to be 110 before I ship.

A1C Private RallyPoint Member I gained 7 lbs just reading this, have opposite problem.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches between meals will do it, shear weight gain.

You will need free weight work outs to gain 7lbs of muscle in two months. Recommend 6 small meals that have equal parts protein, carb, vegetable. Better if your food once had a face. Meal replacement shakes are good, just watch added sugars.

Have you talked to a nutritionist? He/She will be able to figure you how many calories you need, what types of foods would work best for you, and perhaps what types of workouts you need to do. Good luck.

If you have the weight waver I wouldn't worry about it. Better to be healthy and active. Fat without working out will not make BMT any easier- just harder.

It will be even harder keeping your weight up in basic. When I went I was 6'2" and 145 lbs. Drill sergeants paired me up with an over weight guy and every meal I got half his food and all his desert. Good luck.
