ME...

been eating a lot and a lot, still not gaining any weight.. i mean like from 55 to 56kg after taking so much mass gainer and whey? c'mon.. im sad...

any SUPER suggestion? muscle guy?

my weight 49kg height 168cm. give up already. prefer to be skeleton king now...

god man...... i've consumed tons of mass gainer (its disgusting) and still the same hahah.. but i did go to the gym and gain quite nice muscle.. but not my weight..

Listen to me. Eat 6 times a day. Thats it. 3 real meals, 3 snack. Dont believe it? Try for one month. Just F do it. This is the way. Dont tell me its imposible unless you try this..

regular sleep hours & stop smoking (if u do)

walao y me so fast gain weight from 55 to 66 kg

now everybody said me like a 'father' already

same here... im 170 weight 45, mass gainer ON, around 1 month, gym a little, now around 49 if not wrong... look a bit thick maybe.... chest hand at least... train my butt now.... xD

For those claiming they are skinny, try calculate your TDEE and eat at 10-20% surplus.

Try to track CORRECTLY your calorie intake for 1 week. You will realise your many many many food isn't even half of my portion. Try to include peanut butter and milk into your meal if you can take it.

@Izz96, meal frequency doesn't affect your weight at all. The only reason it work for you might be due to your appetite. You can't consume much food at once, so you try to break it into smaller meal.

Lol this is a very common comment i see from skinny people , the problem is u aint eating enough . Show us ur meal plan ?

Yeah @kshen buddy, i usually skip my breakfast but im trying to eat twice during afternoon.. Rice? Rice and rice.. Snacks are waffle (peanut butter).. Egg sandwiches.. Even supper.. Burger ayam special with cheese.. Still the same.. Even my stomach aint got bigger.. Hahah..

Lol how long have u been doing this ? Perhaps give us the exact amount u eat , like maybe one cup of rice , 200g of chicken ,etc..

how long ar..? cant really tell how long i've been doing that.. aww..
rice? a bowl of regular size rice.. sometimes add another small rice if i have to skip my breakfast..
for da supper sometimes 1 ayam and 1 beef special haha....

that's the meal plan i've been practicing since the day i stop taking mass gainer.. cause not effective.. i've tried serious mass 2 packs, dymatize supermass 2 packs and 1 last pack was true mass and its really disgusting haha...

instead of mass gainer, go buy pediasure, drink 10-12oz each serving, prepare according to instruction, drink 3-4 times a day on top of your usual regular meals......... try one month and report back......

Use myfitnesspal track all the food you took. And come back tell us how much is that total calorie. Be honest in tracking all the food. Don't eat 1 drumstick and record you ate whole chicken. Be consistent also. Don't eat 3000kcal a day and eat 1500 kcal another day and claiming you cant gain weight.

Diet is all about consistency. If you need to consume 2500kcal a day, then eat 2500 kcal everyday.

And trust me, don't go for any "secret remedies" or whatever supplement until you are clear about basic nutrition knowledge. Learn what is BMR, TDEE, surplus, deficit, macros. Then use ONLY whole food to reach your target calorie. If you have problem in hitting several macros like protein, then only you try to consider take some protein supplement. (This is ONLY after you learned and tried all the basic knowledge)

listen to ccy. thread can close

Ditch those mass gainer. Eat real food kao kao. List down what you eat and we can comment. My cat might eat more than you. There is no way one cannot gain weight if he/ she is eating enough.

u need to marry

only married ppl gain weight fast, that i heard alot

Yes, i've ditched those mass gainers and substitute them with protein whey etc.. more effective.

Eat more but healthier, and constant workout. If i can, so can u.

I'm 175cm = 5'10" tall.

Jan 2014 = 50 kg (pants size 30)
June 2014 = 60~65 kg (pants 32) nih gainer punya psal ler..

I just take normal food like mixed rice, chicken rice, spaghetti, grilled chicken chop, sweet potato, mash potato, white egg mixed with whole grain bread and take whey protein mixed with oats for post workout. I gain from 60kg to 72kg in a month

pretty good weight replacement meal u have there!

I just had double chicken rice for my lunch. Tonight, I will gonna hit my chest cukup2

Better slow down your weight gain. 1-2kg per month seems more ideal for me. 12kg in a month, I would say you gain mostly fat and water weight. Food choice is ok as long as you calculate your macro.

I don't believe you cannot gain weight with 4000-5000 calories a day.

No worries Bro, my fat percentage is around 9% only

bro, srsly? read sticky please

any suggest for my breakfast? ahaha.. that is the only problem im having now.. don really have much time preparing myself a proper breakfast.. i knw that is not an excuse right.. probably any1 of you will ask me to wake up earlier AHAHA.......

forever alone or married yet?

prefer to be forever alone bro.. hahaha!!!!

Eggs, oats, roti, milk, cereal, apple, banana, peanut butter, whey protein and many more.

so basically.. 2 hard boiled eggs, whey protein + full cream milk for my breakfast.. any add-on?! haha

as long as you meet your daily macros you'll be fine. no need to add on.

Not enough. 3 hard boiled, 2 whole meal bread, full cream milk, 1 or 2 scoops of whey protein and a banana.

any alternative for banana buddy? hehehe.....

Apple

thanks bro! will probably eat according to what you mention above..

i used to be a skinny guy last year
height is 181cm

initial weight is ~63-64kg when i started bulking up.

6 meals per day
i drink mass gainer ONLY if im busy with my work and not enough time to eat proper food
hit the gym 4-5 days a week.
today im standing at 78kg, the heaviest i have ever been in my whole life.
trust me, you can do it. with proper diet and training.

now im worried coz puasa is coming. last year i lose 4kg after puasa month

6 meals? mind sharing your meal plan? hahah....
now i've jz started to eat more by waking up early to prepare my breakfast..

err actually my meal plan is not that proper food la, shy to share.
anyway, here it is tl;dr version

meal 1 (7am) : 5 half-boiled eggs (whole egg) + 2 gardenia bread / 2 bananas + plain water

[optional meal - if my colleagues ajak makan ] : roti canai + teh tarik kurang manis

meal 2 (10.30am) : gardenia white bread 4 slices + 3in1 milo + 5tbsp quaker oats

meal 3 (1pm) : white rice + fried chicken + some veges

meal 4 : (4pm) : gardenia white bread 4 slices + 3in1 milo + 5tbsp quaker oats

meal 5 - preworkout snacks (7pm): 2-3 bananas + black coffee
(not sure if this is a proper pre-workout meal or not, but yeah, im a poor man. you can try hyphy mud by Kali Muscle. mix instant coffee with pepsi. do not expect a good taste on ur tongue. )

8pm - 9.30pm : workout session

meal 6 (10pm) : white rice with whatever things cooked by mom

meal 7 - (optional- before sleep) : some crackers with peanut butters + plain water



so, thats it.
i am still searching what kind of meals that suits me best. since im working as programmer, spending time at the desk most of the time, sometime there is not enough time to have my snacks. and there is where your mass gainer comes in handy.

i didnt rely much on my mass gainer, only took it when i dont have enough time to eat.

wow programmer.. interested to know what kind of programmer r u? hehe

btw.. 5 half-boiled WHOLE EGGS?! WOW.... IM AFRAID OF SO MUCH EGGS WITH YORK.. egg white is fine but egg york too? wouldnt we have high cholesterol level in the future?
my parents said only 3 maximum whole eggs to be consumed in a day.. i donno lahh whether its true or not.. haha

i am not throwing away the yolk so yes, i eat it
last time i tried making 5 scrambled eggs at once but eating it will be a problem coz u need to chew it and made u felt kinda really full.
so i changed to half-boiled egg, can consume easier and no uncomfortable feeling to my stomachs

and, im a web app (PHP) programmer

i see.. those are what kind of eggs then? gred c b a omega..? haha

usually i buy gred b satu papan, around rm11
can last for 1 week

i see... thanks for the helpful information.. hehe

Doesn't matter how many meals u take , what matter most is how much calory intake per day.

Target 3k calory per day, within a month u will see the effect already.

of course, pls do workout or else u are gaining fats instead of muscle.

ok 2nd step. count the macros and kcal for each of your meal

yup i did track my calorie and macros using myfitnesspal
but not sure is 100% correct or not.

this is my log from yesterday

It's not just about eating more, eat more proper food. That means more protein!! yeah u expect ur muscles to feed carbohydrate to grow???

May I know what is ur current bodyweight ?

~78kg during check up at clinic last week
height is 181cm

the picture is self explanatory.
now fix it by adding a lil bit more. peanut butter with your breakfast is a good calorie spiker.

peanut butter! that's rock buddy..

yes i did use peanut butter in my meal
its just i didnt include that in the meal log

Add more vege and fruit to your diet. And your diet seems lack of some healthy fat. I would up my fat intake to 80g.

why too much gardenia .it is not that healty ,contain preservatives alot

wouldnt all these foos causing body inflammation?

yes. it will cause your body to become red, hot, painful, bloat, and useless.
but no pain no gain yah

hi. may i know what app/software is this?

http://www.myfitnesspal.com

thanks. i suppose this is web version. its much different compared to android app.

Did you managed find all the entries in the listing, or you had to key in some of the details? I noticed Banana is 7" long, is it accurate or just randomly selected from the listing?

would it be better if i take casein tgther with the calories surplus?

doesnt matter as long as you get your surplus on both cal and prot

nah
i just randomly select from the list but i eat slightly more than that
lets say in the list is medium banana, i just eat 2 medium sized banana just to make sure.

Anyone can recommend me any mass gainer / supplement that can order online? I can't find it around here. Need to go find it at other big pharmacy in middle of KL. Due to transport and work, I doesn't have much time to go there.

why not search in the forum?

I searched but found this post first. Sorry noob in forum. Btw, thanks.

search at garage section ler

getting enough sleep and constant sleeping time is the main factor of gaining weight (try google around)

let me share my experience, i'm 179cm tall, 56kg when dec 2013 (been stuck at that figure for few years)
today i'm 64kg (still skinny and 1kg underweight)without taking any protein supplement. i just make sure i get 8 hours of sleep everyday, 15 mins or 1 hour of nap whenever i can. my sleeping time is constant everyday from 12am/1am - 8am/9am. drink plenty of water during the day time, and i eat whatever i want. 4 meals a day is a must to me so that i can gain weight, i failed to take 5 meals per day because i will have hard time falling sleep during the nite may b because i'm too full.

the key here is to be CONSTANT, never wait till u r hungry, its too late cause ur body is burning the remaining little calories in ur body. try not to sleep with empty stomach and of course no fatty or oily food to avoid becoming a fat ass.

skinny people usually have high metabolism. we burn fat faster than any other ppl, u'll feel exhausted faster than ur fren, and myself 1 meal (rice) can only last for 4 hours ...5 hours is the MAX, if i were to eat anything that doesn come with rice , most of the time i can only last for 3 hours and i'll b hungry again.

i've been hitting the gym since feb 2014 gym with my fren, and i'm the only guy that is lifting 30-40kg but all of my fren are lifting 100kg coz i nv took any protein or mass gainers (whatever u guys call them, i have 0% knowledge)

and my frens oways laugh at me coz they say i'm like the kancil 660cc, small, underpower, and high fuel consumption (coz i eat the same amount as them)

Lol well it will take time bro . Just fix up ur diet . How sure are u eating the same amount as them ? I assume u do eat alot ?

eat fried rice at 12 am at night..sleep 30 mins later. do it for 30 days

Like they said, regular diet plan + consistency.

Take good unprocessed food. Avoid sodas and fast food. And remember to lift. Or else you'll be gaining at your belly instead of muscles.

I'm 179cm , used to be 55kg, Now i'm 80kg. So nothing is impossible. Work hard bro.

Try to search you tube for more bulking recipes and create your own diet plan. Thats the best way you can do. Remember settle your main meals first, mass gainer is a supplement.

Read Nutrition facts of mass gainer too.

Cozz most of the time v have our meal all the time, ermmm....not a lot coz my friends aren those massive body builder. Lol.

Yeap, without supplement it takes time but at least I'm living the healthy lifestyle.not great but good enough I guess, at least I know my immunity is better than before.

Solid food intake is important for skinny guy to gain their mass. Try to achieve 6 meals per day plan with proper diet. Workout hard and sleep 8 hours a day or more.

My stat:
1st Jan 2012 - 172CM, 56KG & 19% bodyfat

22nd July 2014 (current) - 172CM, 72KG & 11-13% bodyfat

just read the thread. but this statement bro, is wrong.

Do note that one meal won't be sufficient to conclude ur total caloric intake . By the end of the day , the amount of calories consumed is what matters . I've seen/heard people who claim that they're "eating alot", but when i see their meals , they're only eating 1/3 of what they should be eating lol.

Calorie surplus is what matters . Meal frequency doesn't matter . U can consume 6 meals with total of 3000cals , same with 3 meals with 3000cals . As long as u achieve ur calories by the end of the day , you're good to go.

no this may cause digestive issues later on .. gain healthly

Did someone say bulk? 3 meals a day in MacD, you'd get swole in no time!

yeah and you'll quickly gain all kindzzzz of fat, sugar and salt lol

Newbie here...so basically inorder for you to gain weight,u must double up your calories intake?btw,how can i know that what is the basic amount of calory i needed for a day?

look at the bright side ,, being skinny means u can eat all u want without worrying about getting fat

You should not post such misinformation. It doesn't work that way.

http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/

yeap, agree with u(i know your point, my frens did explain to me). i'm not on any diet plan, i go to gym with them just to work out and sweat. its better than nothing, its been 6 months, the result aren't that great but u can tell the difference judging from my skinny photo half year ago .

he mightnot gain any weight or grow any fat meat, but i can assure that he sure has high cholesterol like most of the skinny guy does.

gymmate mentioned bout Growth Hormone supplement upon reaching age of 30.

Yay or Nay

same, i am 29, weight about 47, heigh 165. kenot grow, kenot eat much because of appetite, been trying this and that to no avail.

PT is too expensive, around 100 per session.

sigh.

That's your excuses. I used to weight around 55 and right now 70. all i do is just eat, eat and eat.

Excuses excuses everywhere. You think to acquire knowledge is easy? If you are lazy, you better pay that PT.

Do like me, 5 pints per Happy hour session. Min 2 times a week.

Bulking phase brahhhh

im adding 1 liter of milk every day to my diet
dutch lady full cream
any good?

mean add in 620 kcal calories with 32g protein 32g fat and 48g carb. so what you think? reach your calories goal?

hopefully yes
since im not taking any protein supplement
so im worried about how to reach my daily protein intake

forever bulking crew

Bulked up from 49kg to 54kg in 3 months which is very slow, stop caring about calorie intake after enrolled in college and back to 48-49kg again
