baby steps, start with a more realistic goal...
your aiming at a gain of 50 lbs, thats not going to happen over night.

Shoot for a gain of 10 lbs, and then 20 lbs, and so on.

Im an amateur on this site, but to be honest I dont see your goals becoming a reality.

heres a big part of ur problem.. u need to be eating clean food consisting of healthy proteins and carbs.. if thats u currently in ur avi id have a hard time thinking ur bf% was 15.. looks more like 10% or maybe even under???

at 15% bf and weighing 129lbs ur tdee = 2250cals .. to gain u have to eat in excess of this.. so is that u in the avi? and is that a current pic of u at what ur saying is 15%bf???

if the avi isnt current and u are indeed 15% id suggest cutting first before bulking.. so lets hear it

**Vargas1315** · 03-13-2012, 12:35 PM

Yes its current pic of last week and I put all my measurement on a bim cal on a website and thats what it said

**--->>405<<---** · 03-13-2012, 12:45 PM

ok id guess that to be wrong

putting u at 10%bf gives ur tdee a bump to 2350cals.. if i were u id run a bulking diet at 2800cals..

do 40/40/20 (pro/carbs/fat) split.. this will have u eating:

280g pro
280g carbs
62g fat

ideally u want ur diet to consist of:

PROTEIN: CHICKEN breast, lean gound beef, egg whites, eggs, tuna, cottage cheese, protein powder, lean pork, lean beef, fish

CARBS: brown rice, oatmeal(rolled oats not instant), sweet potatoes, lentils, green veggies

FATS: mainly the fat u get from ur protein but additional fat may be required in the form of: fish oil, natty peanut butter, evoo, flax oil, avocado..

put together a diet hitting the above macros consisting primarily of the ingredients listed above..

READ THE STICKIES AT THE TOP LABELED: "SO U WANNA LEARN HOW TO DIET" "TDEE" "BULKING" .. read these before u try to put together ur diet.. once uve read them and have a basic understanding of what u need to eat, when and why itll make putting ur diet together easier..

now uve got some work to do

post any probs or questions u have while going thru all this info.. good luck..

also post ur current workout routine: how many days u lift per week, if u do any cardio and how much etc..

405 is pointing you in the right direction. With a solid diet/workout the pounds will come. I like many others we very skinny at one point. I started at 135 lbs myself so I feel your pain. You have to make eating your full time job. Even if you aren't hungry you need to eat. Shoot for eating 6 meals a day every 2.5-3 hours. Pre pack your meals if you are a busy person so you always have food with you. I have great beginner gains following advise on here and put on 12 lbs in seven weeks....10.5 lbs of that being muscle...and your base was much better than mine to start with. Wish you the best of luck.
