Agreed, most people think they are eating a lot. But when they write down everything and take a look at what they are eating in a day thats when you actually realize you haven't been eating much at all. I used to think I ate a lot to, until I went to the Arnold classic and was talking to a bunch of rather large guys and the one gave me this advice. He said the problem is your diet, I don't want to hear you say you eat good or eat a lot because the fact is if you eat x (can't remember exactly but I think he said 5,000) amount of calories daily you'll gain weight, eating massive amounts of calories makes you gain weight, its the one thing that is proven to be true. Take a notepad with you wherever you go, a little memo one and when you eat something write it down. Do this for a week and see how little you are actually eating. Then make a schedule containing x amount of calories per day and stick to that eating schedule for a month. If you don't gain at least 5lbs, you ain't following the schedule.
Needless to say, I did it and the first week I realized how many meals I skipped, the length of time in between meals, everything I thought I was doing I really wasn't. Ever since then I have no problem gaining weight, of course I hit plateau's but when I do I just increase my calorie intake. Anabolics can help you gain weight and give you strength but if you don't take in a lot of calories, and even more after you are on them then you won't keep any of that weight, so your basically wasting it.
