It's definitely real; looking at myself in the mirror sideways, I can suck it in to be mostly flat, but if I let go it's at least an inch past my chest. Seems to be more noticeable in the evening after I've eaten and less in the morning, but I'm not imagining it.
By gaining healthy weight, you mean muscle? Like I said I already do a bodyweight routine and have some tone, but haven't gained any real noticeable size. I guess this is a function of what I eat, especially after workouts? Would adding something like protein shakes help?
Hmm, I do cook my own meals but they're usually kind of carb heavy (rice/pasta). Which nutrients should be I aiming for? Any good recipe sites geared toward this?
