I wont give up. Will consume more food including fruits.
And will excercise on schedule. Perhaps wanna try other weight gain powder.

good for you Kelv
but remember fruits is high in sugar and most of the calories comes from sugar....
go for more protein(whey) and carb

which one? i saw plenty of product there li..do u mean creatine?

Hi lcsum, sugar fruits @ fructose is NOT equivalent with the normal sugar. It's natural & are easily assimilated & digested by our body. Are you aware that even diabetics are also encouraged to take fruits? (according to my nutritionist)

Protein source? Healthy ones would be organic sprirulina (it's also being consumed by body builders) Can learn more at http://ezymeal.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=70

hehe feel funny
ppl who want to loose weight feels its hard
and ppl who want to gain feel the same ekekeke

wow....you sure did quite some of reading eh

he's pointing that no use take sugars for added calories, yes you want some calories, but protein will be better(building materials)

bcoz we have different body types

Chow

eat more carb? i put on weight easily with that. then agn, i dont have the problem like you. how thin are you actually? height n weight?

This post is directed at bodybuilding enthusiasts:-

How serious are some of you guys about packing on weight? I know there're quite a few bodybuilding enthusiasts around here. I've checked out some of your journals. Almost all of you are not eating enough. And if you think you're getting in enough calories, you need to make sure calories come from good sources.
And an occasional cheat meal is needed, we're all creatures of habit, the body would adapt to eating strict 365 days a year.
Some of you guys who bodybuild, quite a few of your meals do NOT contain any protein, period. Maybe miniscule amounts from carb sources but that is grossly insufficient.
In order to prevent amino acid levels causing protein synthesis to become refractory you need to do bigger protein doses spread further apart. You can spread carb meals to maybe even thrice a day but you can't just have 3 quality protein meals a day if you want to pack on serious muscle.
I'm getting in 250-300 grams of protein a day. Go figure. And a minimal amount of that is from supplementation. Why do you think i can still maintain 17 inch arms even after losing almost 30 pounds of bodyfat? The key word is protein. Oh... and i consume a lot of fat (fish oil, natural peanut butter, flax seed, nuts) If you're thinking bak kut teh or roast pork, nope, i mean good fat. (This isn't keto to make things clear, personally i think keto diets are crap. Take a look at bb.com forums, most of the successful bodybuilders do not do keto).

Carb sources : oats, weetbix, even high GI carbs have a place to play in building quality mass. Nutrient timing is so important and underrated among many beginner trainees. Do some research.

Guys... about eating the egg white,
Is it ok to drink blended egg white+milk+sugar?

Trying to change the recipe for the egg white... everyday eat the omelette and boiled egg makes me want to vomit.

helo.. im around for a while but haven't took the trouble to register an account.. would like to join the gaining weight corner too haha.. metabolism problem ler.. will be continuing reading this page on a daily basis =)

thanks Bata for explaining...
well you are still my senior when it comes to gain weight issue

Hi Ezymeal, I have nothing to against on fruits but tis tread is on how to gain weight
which means we're talking about adding more calories to your daily diet...
herbivore people will have a hard time to gain muscle compare to carnivore people
fruits do play an important role in our meal but in term of calories, protein & carb plays a major roles...


darklight can share example of your daily schedule high in protein meal ....it can be a guidance for some here

Oh..interesting topic~~~but still cant boost my weight >.<
Height : 187cm
Weight : 50kg
I tried many ways to gain my weight~~~
I drink weight gain,lecithin,muscle building products...follow instruction to eat....
I do workout but only for certain parts(coz i do workout at home, push up for bisep n trisep,waist muscle,breast muscle n leg...no equipment used except 5kgDUMPBELL)
I eat 5-6 times a week....
I eat more food than what my friends did.......

I still growing upwards!!help!! i am 19 currently, grew 3cm(s) >.<

Wow, you're worse than me. I'm 180cm & 60kg, already look bad. BMI Only 14.3??? Sure or not? You would look like a drug addict la

Lol i dun take drug, dun smoke XD

ooops, misunderstood, sorry lcsum. agree with u, for calories perhaps protein & carb.

herbivore ppl harder to gain muscle? any article on that? Think with proper nutrition & protein intake, they also can gain like carnivore ppl

No wonder you soooo thin

Anyway, at your age, you still can gain weight as what others said, consume more proteins.
I'm trying also.

Lol... my diet has changed quite a bit. I don't think most people can stomach what i eat. But i have a cheat meal every alternate day. =) And i'm still 84kg and growing.
