That's a good idea but a much better idea would be for every hardgainer to actually spend some of his/her precious time to read the stickies which apparently they don't. So, a one liner reply like mine would be relatively good enough compared to the time they spend reading the sticky

If you still eating the same amount of food while you were below 60kg, surely you cannot gain weight.

The science behind it is that, your BMR increased as your muscle do. Simple meaning is that, if you need to eat 2500kcal to gain muscle mass by 3kg, to gain another 3kg of muscle mass, you need to eat more than 2500kcal a day as your BMR will increase.

That is why pro bodybuilders need to eat a lot of food (more than 5000kcal a day) due to amount of muscle mass the body have.

Your gene do have an effect on your metabolism but I can guaranteed 100% that it won't affect your ability to eat a lot to gain weight. You just need to know the correct amount of food to eat, that's all.

Says who?

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.

Who actually suggested you to eat 6 times a day?

Those superskinnies that tried to pack their weight always says this "I eat a lot, a lot more than my other family". Guess what, they didn't eat much at all OR they eat a lot for a day and fast for the other 6 days of the week.

Eat a lot MORE and consistent, that's they key. Most people that eats a lot usually eats a lot for a day and 'fast' for the rest of the week.

Don't put a blame on genetic when you are the one who didn't put enough effort to grow big. If your whole family is stupid, do you stay stupid for the rest of your life or you wait till you are middle-aged then you become intelligent.

Don't spew nonsense please.

The link you gave are talking about body type. Yes, that can't be changed because it's genetic. It shows that the amount of muscle you can gain and the pros and cons for each body type. Not the inability to grow.

But the inability of eating more and putting blame on genetic because you father mother grandfather and all you ancestor are thin skinny and twig is just plain wrong. Everyone can grow big from being thin, they just need to learn what to eat, how much to eat and what to do. That's all.

Your previous comment on

"Genetics oso play an important role. If yr family r tall and lanky, then obviously it'll be very hard 4 u to be bigger in size. Heard frm my relative dat one may grow fat when he/she bcomes a middle-aged person. So, dun fret, yet... "

shows that it's ok to be the same as your family because hell, it's genetic. No need to put effort on changing your body because hell, it's genetic. Let's put a blame on genetic and you'll be content with you non-visible effort you've made to progress.

NOPE. Unless the scientist are the level of compressing a whole chicken to a size of a pill, no there isn't a weight gain pill out there.

The only thing that can make you gain weight is calorie which you can get from almost every food available on this planet earth. You want to gain weight, just eat them.

Increase

Meal quantity and timing is not important. Its the quantity of the calorie consume that matters.

Nope. Utterly bullshit. Unless you can give us proof that:
1. You've calculated your Daily Calorie Intake correctly.
2. You've consumed adequate food to grow by creating calorie surplus.

yet you still won't grow, I'll trust you. But before that, it's bs.

1. Get a proper training routine.
2. Consume a proper diet.

Why do you think it works?

That's what happened when people too obsessed with number. Doea your friend have a sticker on her body saying she have ideal bmi? I guess it's much more comforting that way instead knowing that she gained pure 5kg of fat which will lead to whatever diseases linked witb that.

You only eat crackers 6 times a day?

So you know what's your issue right. Fix that and come back later but not until you do so/
