why the fuck can i not gain weight?

[Elite_Fry]

this is bullshit. i can not gain weight. i havn't gained a pound in over 3 months. what the hell is going on????
im 18 and only at 155pounds. im taking in 200-250 pounds protein a day, same with carbs. and i'm training correctly
anyone know what the problem is?

Are you doing any cardio....if so stop....if not then just keep adding calories until you start to gain weight....

You're not eating enough calories. 250X4=1000 protein calories. 250X4= 1000 carb calories. So that's only 2000 calories not including any fat so I would estimate you eat about 2500 cals a day. Try 3000.

what you need to do is eat 6 descent meals a day. for example-chicken with brn rice and vegatables. i would even take in one scoop of whey protien with each meal. so that would be an additional 20 grms of protein with each meal. even though people always say a body can only digest 30-40 grms of proten every few hours, i wuold still try to take at least 40-60 grms a meal. try geting up in the middle of the night at around 2 or 3 and drink 40 grams of protein and go back to sleep. thats a lot of food, but since your one of the gifted ones who doesnt gain weight easily, eat as much as you can.

Just pop some dbols.. you'll gain weight.

And now for the most repeated mantra of dieting, albeit in a different form:

The only way to gain weight is to consume more calories than you burn. Period. Consume more calories and you will gain weight.

That said, you can also try to reduce your physical activity outside the gym. Don't bike, drive. Take the elevator instead of the stairs. Maybe even try to downsize your workouts. Train each body part once a week, to complete exhaustion, but not by doing like 20 sets for each body part. Try about 8 sets per body part. Keep the workouts grueling but under an hour and guzzle a protein/dextrose shake immediately after working out.

And if all else fails......juice.

You're right.
Flubber: DON'T TOUCH THAT SHIT!

Hehe, funny thread. So why are you called flubberboy.........

You're about the same weight as me (and I'm a female) and I DIET on close to what you've just said you're eating (dunno what your fat intake is). So EAT MORE. I also suggest you also look carefully at WHAT you're eating. Keep your veggie and whole grain intake lowish since both of these can inhibit nutrient absorption. Make sure you're getting enough essential fatty acids and overall fat, as well as adequate vitamins and minerals. Ummm, get plenty of rest and drink lots and lots of water.

if i could change the nickname.. i would. at the time i was obsessed with fat people.

is it possible that muscle on different people can weigh differently? cos although i am the same weight as my friends, my arms are like almost double the size of theres and i n lift a hell of a lot more. so obviously i have more muscle than them.

and guys dont give me the simplictics cos i already know them (just eat more blah blah)

yeh and i am on creatine
