hard to gain weight

[kain]

Hi I have a question for gaining weight. I’m not sure whether to eat clean or get lots of calories it’s hard for me to gain weight because I have high metabolism. I’m not trying to get fat I just wanted to put on more size. Right now I weight 170 trying to get 180 in a month any advice. Here is what I’m eating.

Morning:
¼ meats
2 eggs
1 slice of toast
Glass of juice 8oz


Mid morning: protein shake


Lunch:
½ meat
1 slice bead
Glass milk 8oz
Peace of fruit


Hit the gym


Home from gym:
½ meat
Bake potato
Peace of bead
Mid size salad


Diner:
½ meat
Peace of bead


Before bed:
protein shake
Multi vitamins

10 lb in a month would be a very good accomplishment - I'd try and be more realistic in your expectations and shoot for around 5 "quaility" lbs.


As for your diet: If your having trouble gaining the weight, increase your kcals / meal

Note: Some people do need to add a little "not so clean" foods to their diet, which is something you might try.

Just add some Extra Virgin Olive Oil to each of your shakes (just a teaspoon or so).. and eat a couple hardboiled eggs/glass of milk with each of those meals.

I drink about a gallon of milk a day, and more when I'm bulking. The fastest way to put on quality mass.

Naw man, you don't want that issue to deal with. If you couldn't gain weight, then you would be a skinny bitch like the rest of us pittyful ectomorphs. Its much better for bodybuilding to begin overweight than to be underweight. You can't build a house without bricks. Skinny guys have no bricks.

I disagree. 80-90% of overweight people cant get flat stomach, and thats what is MAIN CONDITION in bodybuilding (I am talking about competitors, not ˝street bodybuilders.˝ Underweight is not so ok.. but OVER TIME you can get nice quality mass and to have six packs. I say that because I was ˝pittyful ectomorph˝, but now after 2 years of NATURAL training I gained about 23 kg (50 lbs), and my six packs are GREAT even I didnt work them for 6 months. But in October I will go on my 1st competition, so I will have to work them from now on... You see, I eat candies, icecream, anything, but I am still flat and quality mass is more obvious every day...
You see man, heavy people wouldnt be my choice for bodybuilding. Was Frank Zane fat? As far as I know he is ectomorph, but he was a legend of classic bodybuilding without a much gear like current bodybuilders. Anyone who can agre with me?

Yeah, ectomorphs are the best.....

ectomorph rulez

I'm curious what the hell 1/4 and 1/2 meats are too. I mean, if you're talking like 1/4lb or 1/2lb of meat at a time, cool.

Aside from that, diet looks pretty skimpy.

wouldnt that lead to a high calcium intake...thus resulting in kidney stones in the long run?

i agree with the milk as a good massbuilder...but iv always been iffy about it due to the calcium.

we suck!
