How to gain weight?

[wonderstanding]

I agree... making sure you're never hungry doesn't do much for me... I MIGHT get 2500 cals a day that way... I'm FINALLY actually counting calories right now, and getting 4k/day is PAINFUL, but as anyone on here who's in the know will tell you, the ONLY way to get big is to EAT (and sleep) you can take all the steroids in the world, but if you're not eating a shitload, you ain't gonna blow up!

eating is the hardest part of building muscle IMHO.

creatine gave me that jumpstart I needed when I first began working out.

went from 165-185 in a years time

I've been there. You think you are eating a lot... but you are not. Oh no. Clearly, if you are not gaining any weight, even fat, then you aren't eating enough to gain muscle. And it may be possible that you are overtraining. Force feed yourself until you learn to stomach like 5,000 cals, 300g protein. If that does not work (and it damn well better) then try lowering the volume of your training, and increasing intensity.

I had the same problem as you, I worked out like hell every day for 4 months and ate a lot but I wasn't gaining weight. I did get a big leaner though. Then in September I started eating much more and pushing myself like never before on my workouts. I now eat until I'm ashamed of myself, which seems to work for me. I used weight gainer and creatine for a while which definitely helped me gain weight, but even after I finished with them I was still making big gains.

If you think you're eating a lot, try eating more. Keep up the protein shakes, but don't use them to replace meals. Remember they're a supplement, so you should be eating the lights out as well. If you think you're lifting hard, lift harder. I'm rarely satisfied when I leave the gym because I think I could have pushed myself harder. I just go back the next day and try to get a better workout. Just don't be satisfied until you start achieving your goals.

If you're eating and lifting like an animal, there's no way you won't gain weight. If you're still moving slowly, try throwing in some creatine, it will definitely help.

Eat junk food, and a lot of eat. Eat what you like, what taste good to you, don't overeat, but try to eat often, it's better to eat 8 small meals then 4 big ones.

I'd be snacking on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all day long

wow thanx everyone for all of the replies, i never knew i would get so many. I guess im going to have to try harder than i have before. I guess im not eating enough and I used to take weight gainer and it never did anything to me. Do u guys recommend anything that works, i know a guy thats selling mega mass elite, is this good? I think im going to try to eat more, I have taken alot of protein and gainers in the past and i shit all freaken day, its annoying b/c i have school and shit. When I also take it im kind of full and i can't eat much afterwards. Anyone thanx alot guys for all of the replies, I appreciate it
