Hey All And thank you for reading this post.

Basically im absoultley fed up with the size i am and am even considering the steroid route now because of this. I`m a 25 Year old male who weighs Exactly 10 stone, and am 5"11 Tall.

Problem i am having is i basically cannot put on weight.. i have tryed various " weight Gain " products in the past :- Met Rx, muscle milk Creatine suppliments the list goes on.. i just cant put on weight.. i think it maybe down too my diet but i eat a **** ton but not in a routine. And i really have on clue what too eat as i just eat and eat an it burns itself off so fast.

Any Information or Diet plans would be great!

Sure thing! Tihs is what my daily diet is at the moment... and Stays the same day in and day out.

Breakfast - 4 Eggs ( Hard Boiled ), 1 Bowl Poridge And 2 slices of Toast brown bread no butter.

Lunch - 250g Pasta with 2 chicken breast, 1 piece of fruit 1 bowl of musli 1 pint of milk.

Dinner - 3 Jacket potato`s, 300g of minced beef, 1 can chopped tomatoes, 1 onion 1 can red kidney beans. 4 Eggs ( Hard boiled ) 1 piece of fruit .

Also snack during the day which doesnt help normally on cheese products..

You are the classic skinny guy (like myself). To be brutally honest - no amount of weight gain 2000 or whatever product will make much difference... Most of these powders etc. are only any use as pre or post workout or first thing in the morning. Reason being they fall straight through you - as a guy with a naturally high metabolisim they will be of even less use to you as a dietary supplement.

Essentialy you need to eat regularly (every 2.5-3 hours) - guys like us will burn off a meal in that time easily leaving us catabolic (muscle eating) until next meal time. You may not notice it - but it's happening.

So now you're eating 6-7 times a day... But what do you eat?

Simple: Protien, fibre, carbs, fat. NO SIMPLE SUGAR (this will spike your insulin levels and cause you to go into fat storage mode - not conducive to muslce building). A good meal needs to centre around protien (fish, chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, eggs, cottage cheese). Then you absolutely must eat it with fibre (slows everything down allowing your body to use those nutrients instead of crapping them out) - so green veg, carrots, apples, etc. Now you also need some fat (but don't worry too much for now as most food has some in anyway). As for carbs - the key here is to eat complex carbs not simple ones... Again it's slowing down absorbtion, reducing fat storage: avoid white bread, white pasta, white rice, noodles etc. Go for seedbread, wholemeal pasta/rice, potatoes.

The other thing that is as important as eating like a pig is that you get decent sleep each night... Unless you are getting a minimum of 7 hours, you are wasting your time with everything else.

Hope that helps

Thank you for your responses. Seems i need too increase my intake alot and eat alot more, in alot shorter intervals. Also i was told not to work out out initially when trying too put on weight? As i would just burn it off with my fast metabolism?

robbiedont

If you don't work out you will just get fat...

High metabolism my ass what a cop out of course if your eating 2000 cals or so per day you wont gain weight but people then claim to have a high metabolism.
Get 4000cals down your throat EVERY DAY and the weight will fly on.
Bulk powders are great ONTOP of a sound nutritional program.

Oh yeah steriods will probably put a stone on you big ****ing deal you will be a measly 11 stone and then you come off and lose it again and feel ****ty and give up or just up the doses.
You need 1 hard year of eating and training and i can bet with no doubt you will be 200lb and not fat.

a few cheat meals wont go a miss!

Thank you for all your comments and suggestions it is much appreciated... so basically it seems i dramatically need too increase what im eating too like 6 - 7 meals a day? and get a regular work out pattern? its deffinatley gonna happen because never felt so annoyed with myself due too my size.. and when i want something bad i get it... So now i just need too get my ass down the gym on a regular bassis an really increase the amount i eat.!

To start with 3 times per week in the gym doing a full body work out aka do squats deadlifts bench press, nothing crazy just learn the technique do 3 warm up sets and then 4 sets of 10 reps for each exercise.
This is just an example of what you could do BUT you need to do barbell exercises nothing like bar bell curls as its a waste of time for you now.

Most important is write down every thing you eat every day and create a meal plan you can stick to that = 4000cals every day NOT JUST EAT 6-7 times as that means nothing hell i could eat a jaffa cake and call that a meal i mean proper balanced meals.
