    multiply your bodyweight by 20. So at 150lbs you should be getting atleast 3000calories a day atleast. you can maybe do 5 meals a day at 600 calories each meal or 6 meals w/ 500cals a meal.

    You think at 5'8" 150lbs he should be eatting what some of our 6'2 225lbs guys eat ? Maybe your right I don't really know.
    Could you explain alittle into detail why you think this? Only because you would consider him a hard gainer?

    4plates is right at least 4000 - 5000 cals per day. Eat 6 to 7 meals a day. And 3000-350 grams protein .

    from personal experience,used to be 150 at 5-8 also,when trying to gain mass i used to eat 3000 calories and about 1.5 g protien per lb
    i found i didnt get any size from this minimal amount of calories,even when cycling!
    i found that the size didnt come until 4000-5000 cals were eaten.
    im now at 5-8 180 lbs and 9%-10% bf.
    i used to try to eat clean but found it hard to get this amount of calories from a clean diet,so now its burgers ,chicken parm,chocolte cake etc...and lots of it.i have and so i think other ectos have the ability to bun fat and calories just walking from couch to the kitchen
    so 3000 caloris isnt that much.some call us hard gainers but i dont think its that hard,(kidding).its really hard but this is what i have to do

    did i mention tuna

    each can of bumblebee tuna has 37 g of protien.remember the amount on the can is per serving and theres 2.5 servings in 1 can.
    im not saying eat 9 cans a day,but if you wolf down a few aday it adds up.i eat my tuna quick,.what i do is eat it from the can,i hardly even chew it a wash it down with water.eat that 1-2 hrs after your 2-3 chicken breasts which has about 20-30 g each(fat ones).gulp down your 60 g shake x2-3,your breakfast and dinner and your on the way.now this is where the calories come in since what you just ate only had about 1500 -2000 depending on the calorie content of you shakes.
    now your ready to eat what ever the hell you want.cake,burger king,pizza,snacks and even a nice relaxing O'DOULS is loaded with calories.
    now go slap on a lobster bib and dont forget to double dip it in butter
