Why thin people are better at gaining muscle? The reasons are quite complicated. Let’s list a few main reasons next.

If you are very thin, the calories you consume every day serve more to train and help you exercise and restore muscles. On the contrary, if you are very fat, the calories you consume every day are more likely to accumulate into fat.

When a person has a higher body fat, for example, more than 25%, strength training will make him feel "strong" or "swelling". He may feel good about himself and mistakenly think that he is really strong, but in fact he is just a little fatter.

Compared with thin people, fat people get less muscle from quantitative training. At this time, if they continue to increase the intake of protein and carbohydrate , they will continue to gain weight. As we said at the beginning, those calories will first tend to accumulate.

On the other hand, if a person's body fat is only 10%-15%, you already have many advantages before strength training begins, as follows:

has higher hormone levels.
High glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity are critical.

has good eating habits and will not overeat.

Faster metabolism .

So if I lead a thin student for strength training, this plan may be very simple, train hard, and eat hard!

training will further improve hormone levels, such as testosterone closely related to muscle building, and improve the ability to consume food and calories, which will not allow the excess calories to accumulate into fat. In fact, after joining the training, the excess calories and calories to some extent reach a balance.

Of course, those foods that eat a lot of the body should try to choose natural foods to supplement a lot of protein and carbohydrates. If you occasionally eat some high-calorie and junk food, it is actually no problem. Maintaining regular training and a healthy daily diet is enough to offset the occasional indulgence.
