Hi,

I'm thinking of gaining weight but having problems with taking bigger amounts of food.
Is Appeton Weight Gain a good supplement to help with that?

Instead of having 3 huge meals, have a 5-6 small meals.

And no, appeton weight gain doesnt help much

Thanks for the reply. I guess I could give that a try.

I am also taking multi-vitamins but it seems not much help also.

Multi-vits doesn't have any use at all for gaining weight. Of course it won't help.

I am weighting around 48kg and height 165-167cm..

Currently eating Quaker Instant Oat, 2 banana, HL milk and 2 half boiled eggs for my breakfast..

I read a lot of post telling that for skinny guy to bulk up, he have to eat around 6 meal per day.
As I couldn't afford more with my salary, should I just take mass gainer or whey protein?

I am trying to increase my weight to 55-60kg to reach normal bmi.

I do not want fat to accumulate at stomach, I wish to have 4 packs etc..

Please give me some advice

If you want to gain weight, you have to eat more calories than what your body require.

It's not about how many meals, it's about HOW MUCH you eat in a day, which in the end is calculated using calories.

You can eat 50% more for every meal in a day for a start and continue eating more food.

myfitnesspal calculated for me that I requires 2.5kcal/day..

With my current meals without taking hard mass gainer, it was impossible for me to hit 2.5kcal

Any suggestion of food which will provide such amount of calories to me?

You can make mass gainer or ur own protein shake. U said at morning u eat oats, milk and banana? Try blend all of it and there u have a mass gainer.

The volume I intake is around 500-600 calories. So that's mean I need to increase the volume of oats, milk and banana?

In order to gain weight, I must exceed 2.5kcal per day?

Calculate ur tdee if u want to gain weight then add another 300-500 calories in order to be in surplus

Told you already, you need to eat more Eat more than what your body require, which is 2.5k calories !

And why are you only talking about breakfast? EAT MORE! Double the amount! EAT MORE FOR LUNCH! Double the amount. EAT more for DINNER!

And eat supper!

Problem could be that you're a small eater, just need to learn to eat more.

Lastly, do remember to eat healthily also ya. Cut down on refined carbs like noodles, rice > noodles. Avoid breads and sugary drinks. Eat more protein and fats!

Eat vegetables!

And also work out!

Gradual increment works best. If you're eating 1.8k now, just try to eat 2k next week. Then increase it again until you hit the amount of calories you need. Takes longer but you adapt into the diet easier.

I am skinny dude with a high metabolism. Never able to gain weight for the past 30 years.

Last month, I started on my first bulking mission. I fired up myfitness pal app to track my daily calorie intake.

Before mission
Weight : 50.1kg
Height 168cm
Age : 31

14 days mission
Weight : 52.5kg
Gym : 3-4 times / week
Calorie intake per day : Try to hit 2.5k (Most of the time left 100-200 calories)
Supplements : ON Serious Mass at night to top on top what I've eaten the whole day.

Considering that I have gained up to 2.3kg now, I think I am on the right track. Shall update more next week.

Depending on how many scoops of your gainer you take, you could be overshooting a tad too much. Is your TDEE 2.5k?

Umm, i just took 1 scoop tho but I did try to increase snacks intake. hehe.

Not too sure on my tdee. I have tried the calculator at iifym. It says TDEE 1925 Cal/Day.

You're just a little over but its still alright.

Have you guys tried nutritional formula (ie. Appeton Weight Gain, Ensure etc.)

Will cost exp?

Going to try some health product to loose my weight! any recommend?

For weight loss, you can try some
Detox tea:
Trudtox, NH detoxlim
Cost: (RM30-50)

Fat Burner Pills:
Zenoctil
Cost: RM150 for 1 month supply depending on need.


Nevertheless, diet and exercise is still the pillar to weight loss!
