New Guy Questions

[trence]

Hi, I just joined and have a few questions. I am a college student, and I have been gaining weight all this school year. I am 20 year old 5'9" 229 lb Male. I walk at least 45 minutes a day to and from class. I eat salads once or twice daily, and yet I still have been gaining weight. I have gained around 12 lbs since September. Any advice? Eat less?

Taking any medications like steroids for conditions? Alcohol? What are you eating at other meals? Are you tracking your calories?

Need a bit more information than that to get us by...

I don't take any medications, don't drink alcohol, I eat a lot of sandwiches (ham, turkey). I don't usually track my calories.
