Do yourself a favor, forget the cycle. Take that extra money go buy some food and while eating do some research.

This is a big misconception that if someone is underweight, it's because he's not eating. Some people just have shitty genetics, and no amount of food would help.

I'm speaking from my own experience . My father is very skinny.

My stats:

30 years old
5'9
130-135lbs

I have been in the 130-140 range since high school. My body fat is around 5-10%, which is a plus, but I can never put on muscle mass.

I eat 3-4 times a day, drink 1 whey protein shake with weight gainer (which has roughly 300+ calories) with a blend of 6 egg whites + 1 yolk in the morning. I take the same shake before bed.

Vitamins: 1 multi vitamin (100% RDA); 2 zinc and 2 magnesium tablets (over 100% RDA).

Creatine: 5 g before my workout, and 5 g after my workout.
Glutamine: 1 teaspoon before and after my workout.

My workout:

M/W/F Chest, Back, Calves, Abs 1-1.5 hours
T/Th/Sat Arms, Shoulders, Legs, Abs 1-1.5 hours

you should start a thread in the diet section and list your complete diet. to say no amount of food will help couldn't be further from the truth.

edit-that's also an awful split if you want to grow, you should also start a thread in the workout section.

Big,

Food is very important, but there is a limit to how much the body is willing to take in the protein and calories and turn them into solid muscle. Genetics play a big role, and this is why Blacks and caucasians in general are much larger than say hispanics and asians.

Some people have different body types that naturally can put on fat easily as well as muscle mass. Some guys like myself are the slender, ectomorphic type that has very low body fat. We can pretty much eat anything we like without fear of getting fat. I'm sure you have seen people like this.

Yes, this is a blessing if a person is a female, but as a guy, it's a curse, because even maintaining weight takes a lot of effort.
