Appetite not a problem, metabolism is ridiculously high... Also, I do base my diet around large protein intake... I had my test tested a few months back... Was in the low 500s, forget what the other metric was on the test but there was another number which I think was the free test? Can't remember ide have to find the damn paper.. but yah... My avatar was when I was 16, I'm 34 now lol.. Ill change to avoid misleading

Let me just add this so nobody gets the wrong impression. Not looking to take some quick shortcut looking to get big quick. But also not looking to spend 3.5 years like I did before and gain 10 or 15lbs worth of muscle mass lol. If I remember correctly I came out of prison at like 170 from 155 average. I ate like I should have, worked out my entire bid. My family sent me all the extra protein I needed in packages. Sardines, Mackeral, Salmon, Squid, Octo, Chicken..etc. Every month I had a 30lb package for 3.5 years straight. I did a lot of reading and hit the weights almost every yard and worked with dudes twice my size. They got some decent gains but I aIways had less impressive results for some reason. I was always with guys who pushed and motivated even on days where I didn't feel like it but they got my ass out in the weight pit. So I wasn't just alone doing some 30min bullshit in the weight pit. For that amount of time working out , you would think I would get some decent gains after 3.5 years. Sure I looked good, cut up... But mass was a huge problem. I know the diet and dedication needed but the days where I dedicate that amount of time for miniscule results are over. If I'ma go at it again 110% like I did before, I'ma make sure Its worth it. However, I am absorbing everything y'all are saying and appreciate the knowledge FOR SURE...just trying to enlighten on the way my body seems to be.. no drugs or alcohol in my diet either... Not since 2013
I don't think you should go based off someone's base stats. I'm a perfect example of this... I eat usually 5 to 6 meals a day. Last time I worked out was in prison 2 years ago so I will say yes I haven't worked out recently but... Yes we had protein and plenty of food in prison... I lifted everyday out in the yard for 3.5 years straight. My gains were so miniscule it's not even funny. I eat like a horse now and did so then. I can cut up without issue. I stay cut without working out.. it's the mass I have a problem with... My food intake is unnatural for someone who's 5'8 150-160 lbs. I could have included this information before didn't think it was relevant for my specific question... If I didn't have a problem getting some gains over a year period then I probably would have never bothered resorting to this. And I'm talking anywhere from an hour and a half to 2.5hrs workout periods over a 3.5 year period...I've just always been lean and cut.. Just want to make it clear this isn't my first attempt at gaining muscle mass, but since I wsnt to get back into it again, I want it to be measurable and not 15lbs max over 3.5 years

One thing I've learned most people are going to do what they are going to do no matter what anybody else advises them to. I will say that in 3 1/2 years if you had your diet and workouts dialed you could've gained a lot more than it looks like you have. But hey man it's your body if you decide to do it that's fine I just don't think you're going to get all you can out of it. And most people say upstate when they're from California did you go to a California prison?
I've heard this story a million fvuking times on here. Some guy who is scrawny and can't gain claims to eat "like a horse." You don't have to convince anyone here that you're some sort of exception. The fact is whatever you're eating (or think you're eating) isn't enough to gain weight. It's that fvuking simple. Now either take people's advice and eat more or don't. You're not going to like the results if you don't eat enough to grow and after the cycle is over you're going to probably end up worse than where you care currently.
Facts don't care about your feelings nor do they care about your excuses.
