Gaining no weight at all :(
Right i'm 26, 12 stone, 6'1, really skinny build and have been working out for about 4 5 months now, working out 4 times a week. The only change i've felt is increased strength but i look no different to what i did 5 months ago. My diet consists of:
6am - Bowl of oats, brown bread with peanut butter
START WORK
8am - Protein shake and banana
10.15am - 4 egg whites 1 yolk brown bread
12.45pm - Brown rice, veg and Chicken breast
3pm - Brown pasta, veg and chicken breast
FINISH WORK (get to the gym for 6.30)
8pm - Protein shake and Banana
9pm Steak and Brown rice
BED
Thats been my diet for the past 4 5 months yet i have not gained a single pound. Just wondering if you guys have any tips or tweaks you could help me with.Last edited by bigandveiny; 06-09-2011 at 11:56 AM. Reason: forgot info

repost your diet to include all accurate portion sizes and macro nutrient info so we can see how much you're actually eating. 'chicken breast' doesn't tell us anything. I've see thin 2oz breasts, and huge 8oz breasts.
If you're not currently measuring out your food, start today!

Ye i have a cup measurement of oats
The chicken breast is 5oz and rice portions are a cup measurement. As for veg i only use a handful of fine beans or asparagus. The protein shakes i take are: Morning 125 grams and after workout 250 grams ( http://www.gymratz.co.uk/critical-mass-wholesale )
Thats the only sort of measuring i do really. I struggle to finish the portion sizes

For the most part, your food choices aren't so bad. I'm sure you're just not eating enough, but it's hard to say without the macros listed (protein, carbs, fats, cals) for each meal. You need to weigh out your food to know exactly how much of each macronutrient you're eating. Figure out your TDEE (how many calories YOU need to maintain your current state). I like to use the formula: lean body mass x 15 as a starting point to get a general idea. Add about 500 calories to that number and start there to see if you're gaining. If not, add more! Not everyone is the same. I'm bulking right now, and my TDEE is roughly 2,300. I'm eating over 3,700 cals/day!! That's 1,400 cals over my TDEE! Gaining muscle steadily but no fat........so, I've found my sweet spot for now, as you need to do as well.
List the macros in each meal, as I suggested, then I and others will be able to help you out much better. Good luck bro!

macros = protein, carbs, and fat for each meal as well as total calories.
