I'm 170cm, 55kg and I just started working out at the gym about 3 weeks ago and I see some progress. I'm happy with it but I'm not too happy with my weight. Here are my problems why it's hard for me to gain weight:
1) High metabolism - Even if I eat a lot of food, I only gain few grams in weight for few hours and then it drops back(wtf)
2) Working - Don't have time to eat(Only lunch and dinner)
So I'm seeking an advice from you guys of what should I do to gain some weight and muscles. Should I buy supplements like mass or whey?
If important, here's my workout routine - chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders, jogging on treadmill for 2km in 15~ minutes
To gain weight you need to consume more calories than you expend.
Eat more high calorie food or mass gainer.
Definitely try tracking your caloric intake because most people who can't gain weight have problem eating enough calories because of habit. So being conscious of your caloric intake would definitely help!
Also take note that if you do cardio you burn calories.
200 - 500 caloric surplus would be ideal for muscle gain, more than that it's going to be fat but don't worry about a little bit of fat because you can always cut.
