Im cursed with the skinny genes and my metabolism rate is high. Decided its time to change my looks. I'm still new to body building but i did my research and try this out.

7.30am : 2eggs + sandwichs + 1 cup of fried rice
10.30am : nutella sandwiches
12pm : lots of meat, vege and 1.5 cup of rice
3pm : nutella sandwiches
5pm : 1 chocolate bar (sneakers/mars)
6pm : gym 30-40mins (only 1-2 kinds of exercise per session)
8pm : lots of meat, vege and 1.5 cup of rice
10pm : wheat biscuits and slp

8.30-5.30 is my desk job period. Job is to only sit down n do the computer works but im not gaining that much weight. Only gain roughly 1.5kg over 3months. Hit the gym 3 times a week. What i did wrong here?

Edit:
Updated my epic cheap meal plan to gain weight :

7.30am : 700cal~ 2eggs + 2x sandwiches + 1 cup of fried rice
10.30am : 250cal~ peanut butter sandwiches x2 slices
12pm : 600cal~ lots of meat, vege and 1.5 cup of rice + banana/apple
3pm : 250cal~ peanut butter sandwiches x2 slices
5pm : 250cal~ 1 chocolate bar (sneakers/mars) or bananas
6pm : gym 30-40mins (only 1-2 kinds of exercise per session 3x a week)
8pm : 600cal~ lots of meat, vege and 1.5 cup of rice (mcD 3x a week-to be taken after gym)
10pm : 500-600cal~ mamak magie goreng/roti canai/wheat biscuits and slp.

Thats above 3k cal per day. Roughly rm25-30 per day. Im lazy to prepare home made shakes. What u think of this plan? pls advice..

that's your problem right there. at least the most evident one. how much is "lots" ?

Your main problem is calories. NOT ENOUGH calories. It is as simple as the following

Step 1 : Eat X amount of calories

Step 2 : Check weight progress

Step 3 : Did Step 2 achieve what you want ?

If your answer of (3) is NO, then X amount isn't working, so either add (gain) or deduct (lose) calories then proceeed with (2) and (3) again.

And why no protein? So all you wanna do is eat carbs and fats ? ZERO protein ?

Lots of meat as in i find it difficult to walk after my lunch/dinner. So, i guess i need more proteins. I thought carbos & calories are the most imprtnt? Should i include fish in my meal?

If you find it difficult to have a big meal, then split your meals. If you can't take too much meat, then supplement with protein powders. Liquids go down faster than solids.

Overall calories > macronutrients.

Carbs - Proteins - Fats are equally important. It's down to you, to find out your required calories and break it down to a the required amount of macros you need.

Fish on its own is mainly protein and has trace amount of fats. You can include whatever foods you want as long as you have enough calories and macronutrient quota to fit them. Google flexible dieting.

idk but I feel food you're consuming is too high in sugar.
- subsitute nutella for peanut butter
- triple the sandwiches the morning
- ditch your 3pm nutrella sandwich for triple cheeseburger and down it with something like a milo dinasaur.
- keep a bag of nuts on your desk

How much is a lot ?

My friend's "a lot" is my snack. My "a lot" is 2 plates of dishes (meat 2 : 1 veggies) and 1 plate of rice + meat.

The reason why some people take protein supplement cause of difficulties that you're facing now. It's hard to eat even more, so people compensate with some whey supplements.

I eat a lot as in i cant walk comfortably after i finish my big meals. I think a better way to measure how much 'a lot' is by estimating the calorie value of your meal. My lunch is :
chick breast (300cal), 1.5cups of rice (250cal), potatoes/vege/fried egg(100cal) roughly 650cal.

I always eat the foods i like bcos i definitely can eat double portions of my fav food. I can do 1 McD meal every 2 days..im loving it last time, can do it again. BigMac highest calorie isnt it? Followed by Cheeseburger and McChicken?

Yup i mean i dont want to take protein shake. Expansive and i would prefer to build up naturally through foods and gym.

Eat solid food. Never eat McD. You can easily gain weight by eating just BicMac everyday in one month from 65kg to 85kg but you know the consequence.
