    just wondering how old you were?

    Gaining weight is tough at any age before 25 depending on genetics.

    This is how I gained weight when I was working out/ playing sports constantly. I was at college so I had my cafeteria at my disposal. This was usually my meal. I usually ate 4 big meals a day one week and 6 small meals the next so that my body was never comfortable with my set meals. I guess you could consider it like muscle confusion.

    Lunch:

    4 pb & j sandwiches. no crust (I dont like the crust plus its just added carbs with no pb or j on it.)
    6 egg whites cut up on top of pasta with very little marinara/ alfredo sauce for flavoring. I also added about 8 slices of turkey from the sub line to the pasta. I liked this because you don't taste the egg whites as much and this was where i got alot of my protein. Some times I subbed turkey for hamburger patties that were degreased using a napkin.
    I drank 2 glass of milk and 1 glass of juice.
    Also I usually ate another plate of whatever they had for the day whether it was from the Asian line or from the traditional meal line.

    This meal adds tons of calories, but you aren't neccesarily eating bad stuff.

    In my experience whole milk has helped me gain weight. Protein shake with peanut butter and whole milk are money.

    In college I worked out 5-6 days a in week 1 and 4 days in week 2 and I always alternated to get the right rest. I worked out 1hr a day.

    My advice is to eat yes but dont eat the same stuff where it gets routine. For my body I always gained the most weight when I switched up meal consumptions.

    I was 141 going into things and came out 8 months later at 155lbs. Which to me is a health gain. I wasnt going for a super huge build. I was just trying to gain the strength I had in highschool back. Everything was more well rounded versus just focusing on bench, squat, powercleans from highschool.


    If you want to gain weight work out your bigger body parts first like your legs. the bigger your legs get the more weight you will gain.

    Just be smart with what you do. Don't go out and throw all junk in your mouth because eventaully down the road it will catch up to you. There is a difference between healthy weight gaining and stuffing your mouth to gain weight. Cater everything to your genetics. I know in highschool i was introduced to creatine and i blew up like a balloon.


    I have taken NO xplode (Pre workout drink too intense for some people) and cell mass after (this filled up my muscle and i experience 3-4 lb gains in the first few days) Also I took syntha-6 protein, nitrix (Occasionally), and axis ht.
    They have worked for me but i know other people it hasn't helped so just try different things to see what fits for you.
