My situation as well as diet.
Hey, just wondering if you guys can help me with something, it’s driving me completely insane. I am 20 years old, 5'7, and only 135 pounds. Less then a year ago I was 125. At one point during the year I was able to reach 147 or so using massive amounts of gainer which I later found out that I should not have been drinking that much because it was pushing my calories very far over what they should have been for healthy gaining. Also I no longer drink gainer because I want lean muscle mass as opposed to what gainer will give you.
My problem is that so far with my current diet I am still not gaining weight. When I look in the mirror after my days in the gym I look bigger and bigger each time but then I will step on the scale and be the same weight. Below is my diet currently. I’m just looking for any help possible or perhaps an explanation as to why I am not gaining any weight.
Also, I would like to say that I am not using any steroids as I obviously should not be. I simply use this forum for information on dieting and exercise. I go to the gym 3 times a week (full body workout each time) and do light cardio on some of my off days. I get 8-9.5 hours of sleep each night with the occasional exception every once and while.
I would also like to add that before I added the extra 600 or so calories onto my diet I was not losing any weight either.
