hey guys. I'm about 169 cm, 58 kg and a small framed body. I'm quite athletic and my body is fit, but still considered as skinny at my age (21). I've been doing basic workout regularly (push-ups, dumbbell exercises and sit-ups) at home and I can notice a little bit of improvements on my body.

My goals is to build an overall bigger body, and I know that I needed supplements. Which supplements do I need (weight gain? muscle gain? mass gain?) and thanks in advance.

Says who?

^well, I've been reading for quite some time now. and they all points out supplements for a little bit quicker results.

Apparently the source of your read might be not entirely correct, unless you are reading supplement advertisements which surely says that supplement is needed.

The most important thing is diet or also known as nutrition. Without proper diet, you'll may not grow even if you consume whatever supplements out there.

I tried her slide to gain eight before and do more exercise to improve my appetite

Massimo bread wheat germ + tuna x6 Every morning
Oats+Milo+Horlicks+nestum+tuna every afternoon
A bowl of ur fav cereal and milk mid afternoon
Milk and nestum or cookies tea time
Brown rice or diabetic white rice, vege, meat, tuna at night
Supper anything u want la...


Weight goes up
BF% goes up
Then u can save on weight gain supplements.

I ate like that for the past 3 months and I am 75kg with 167 height.

My height is 175cm,with a weight of 49-50kg(it fluctuates but will never go above 50). My BF is 8.2%
i read somewhere that i need to give a ''shock'' to my body so that my high metabolism rate will cool down a bit and i can gain a bit of weight. tried that early january for a week, (skipping 1 meal(dinner usually on certain days), changing my dinner time from the usual 7-8 to 10pm. at the end of the week, i predict that my weight would drop as a result of such erratic/weird eating pattern, but surprisingly its still almost the same

maybe i ''under-eat'' i.e. not enough calorie intake but i ensure that every meal i eat contains protein (milk,meat,tofu/egg)

i go to the gym 1-2 times every week and push-up & those ab exercises at home.some result is seen on my arm,but its not showing on the weight scale, LOL!

visited the doctor for checkup last year,even doctor had no clue what is wrong.

where is the wrong? under-eating? not enough effort in gym?
how to fix? please dont recommend me to take whey or mass gainer (its not my cup of tea, lol)

How you know ur body fat% is 8.2. Do you have 6packs?
Wat is your TDEE?
You daily intake total how much calories?

If you can answer this. Then u get the answer..

did a test using the body composition analyser
unfortunately no 6packs
TDEE is 2308
daily intake between 1300-1900
guess im really under-eating

So you get the answer already right?

Body composition analyser not always accurate. Best is judge by using mirror.

So u know your TDEE is 2308. So you just eat 500 surplus. 2800-3000 see. By 1 month. Check the mirror again.

Following ur advice, I've managed to gain 5kgs in three weeks (exactly 21days since new year hehe). I had chicken rice for lunch every week days, some slight snacks for hi-tea (if u consider karipap as snacks lol) and 1 scoop/cup of rice (which is a lot after cook) together with some chicken/meat every night.. and also two glasses of full cream milk + 1 spoon of milo before bed.

Used to be arnd the ~70kg margin, now slowly climbing back from ~50kg. Last year wasn't a good year overall in terms of getting fit. Nvrmind, this year's resolution to bulk up, or at least be in the healthy/fittest condition.

I still remember my friend drink protein everyday and exercise, swimming everyday. He gained weight and looked more muscular. Good for him!

Anyway, I'm 158cm and 43kg. BMI 17.2 (<18.5 underweight)
Trying to gain weight but with all the unhealthy food I'm getting... that's why I don't eat much sad...

why sad? eating is fun!! unhealthy food mean? it is chicken rice/ char kuey teow/ McD burger consider unhealthy?
don't stress it. you no need drink protein to gain muscles. enjoy the food while exercise!

We can't eat fried chicken all the time to gain weight right? Yeah char kuey teow those... abit scary for me to eat. I wish to gain good fat not bad fat. I can't prepare food in my college hostel so I usually buy take away >< really? I wish I could eat all the delicious food.

Got my blood test result and it shows that I have high cholesterol and lack of salt and vitamin B. Now I only eat vege only @@

like this how to gain weight? since you are in college hostel. chicken rice with more rice and mix economic rice and pick wisely is easy available.

do you know how to reduce cholesterol level? it is not you just eat vege and it will reduce your cholesterol level.
