How long should i wait to expect weight gain from a diet and training?

Mate I dont care what anyone says, if you have good genes your diet doesnt need to be 100%.

I have a mate who smokes pot all day, basically does no exercise, goes hours on end without eating and when he does eat it is all take away food like maccas, kfc etc, never drinks water always coke, red bull and all other sugary shit and 15-20 before he goes to bed he'll eat chocolate, chips and have half a bottle of 1.25 soft drink and he still doesnt gain an ounce of fat. He doesnt do bodybuilding and sitting at 11% BF.

Usually when I hear of skinny people say they eat alot and dont get fat usually I always end up finding out what they call alot is nothing, not even 3000 calories and they always do something that burns alot such as basketball,walking alot, dancing, soccer or drinking loads of alcohol and not eating nothing for hours.

Please pay no attention to that above post. If you want to put on weight you need to eat right, and junk won't get you there. Good genetics can't turn junk food into quality nutrition no matter how you slice it.

I would try to hit that 5k calorie mark daily and track your weight every MONTH. Not every day. Not every week. And make sure you weigh yourself in the exact same conditions every time, like morning with zero food in your stomach.

If you stick to the program for 3 months you will learn a lot about how your body reacts. But trial and error is the only way to really find out.

But trust me, about 3-5 years from now if you stay on track you are going to look fantastic regardless of weight. You will probably end up being a ripped 180-185lber.

You are already ahead of the game coming here and asking for advice at your age, and knowing what to eat. I had no clue at 20 what the hell I was doing. I was just starting to get it at 25.

Terrible advice. I know guys like you described too, hell, I know one sitting at sub 10% and he eats like pure shit. He's also 160lbs soaking wet and wishes he had a muscular build. My point being the OP is looking to gain quality weight and keep body fat at bay. With that said, diet is arguably the biggest piece of the puzzle, more so than training itself.

I will agree that good genetics will allow one to get away with more than somebody without - to an extent. But please don't tell me you can sit there and eat a piss-poor diet and then achieve/maintain the body of a bodybuilder.

Hey havn't seen a comment of urs since the last one lol, so what give me some advices; you wanted my current stats? How long have you been training? What does my diet looked like? What does my workout routine look like?; here I answered all that so tell me now what you think? idk about genetics maybe i do have good ones for lean gaining without much fat and mantaining bf% but definetly not for gaining itself , so i guess i have to be pacient but just dont want to waste my time with some diet or routine which was 100% wrong since the start.
