No! In order to gain muscle weight some must combine large quantities of fats and carbs in almost every meal if not all meals.

It's great to hear you are making the best progress of your life using the Slingshot approach!

Regarding protein consumption it varies amongst each individual. For some who have trouble gaining weight I would advise reducing protein from 1.5-2 grams per pound of body weight to 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight until gaining weight becomes easier or until they begin gaining adipose tissue (body fat). The reason for doing this is because protein makes you stay full longer. For someone having problems gaining weight they may not be able to eat enough carbs/fats in order to put on weight if they are consuming a ton of protein.

Note: If they begin gaining too much adipose tissue then they will have no choice but to increase protein while reducing carbs.
