Must gain weight!!

[joeward]

Hi i need to gain weight as im sooo fed up with my size i think it looks horrible, my girlfriend says i look fine and so do my family but for myself i hate it.

im 22 5,11ft and weight 60kg maybe abit less i cannot gain weight for love or money with just eating, i eat a fair amount of food and have never been able to put on a pound.

im after a supplement to take during the day which will boost my calorie intake and help me to gain weight but im unsure on which one to get as there are soo many and all claim to be the best, i just wanna gain abit more weight.

even if someone here has a list or somthing i can use with things to eat each day or exercises to each day to gain id be more then happy to pay for this help!!

many thanks

Doesn't exist mate, I don't care what they claim. You have to eat. You say you eat a 'fair' amount of food; define fair.

You can start by listing a typical day's diet. Include time of day for each meal, weights/measurements, and macros (protein/carbs/fat/total calories). It'll take some work on your part, but will ensure you get the help you need around here.

PS - while i don't generally like them, do you currently supplement with any mass gainer powders?

ill have to try and work out on average what im eating cos to be honest its not always the same, some days i miss breaks or if im too tired from work i might even miss dinner. not all the time tho most days i have 3-4 meals aday, i just need to find out wat i should eat from when i wake up to when i go to bed and how much.

You going to have to spend some time then to create a meal plan you can stick to eating every single day. If you cannot gain weight with food no amount of supplement will help you. I would recommend starting by reading these two threads:

Once done they should give you some basic information on how to diet properly. From there, you should be able to craft a diet that suits your needs and actually has food that your willing to eat every day.

In addition, this is my current cutting diet. I DO NOT HAVE YOUR STATS OR GOALS DO NOT COPY MY DIET. However, it should be helpful as a template of how to write out your diet in an organized fashion to make it easier for member's to critique on the board.

This is your problem...

Your not eating enough

Whats your weight and bodyfat%

IM gonna just come out and say eat 3000 cals a day and you will grow.... your so light it doesnt even matter too much about getting it perfect for now...


start with

200g Protein, 400g Carbs, 65g Fat


Your food choices are as follows

Eggs
Chicken Breast
Lean Red meat
Fish
Turkey Breast

Rice
Wholemeal Pasta
Regular Pasta
Potatoes
Yams
Sweet Potato
Quinoia
Oats

Peanut Butter
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Nuts
Seeds


train 4 days per week, follow some kind of moderate volume training program... Straight sets to failure is all you need at this point

Focus on compound lifts

Deadlifts
Squats
Leg press
Bench Press
Incline DB bench
Standing Barbell Press
Bent Over Rows
Pull downs/ups


Train hard, dont miss a meal

EVER!
