I've gained about 20 lbs in 4 months, reaching the 200 lb mark! But with snowboard season upon us, I doubt I'll keep it on...

I've been working out since June and hadn't gained anything until last week. I checked earlier this week and, bam, I'm suddenly up five pounds!

If you haven't gained anything for a month or longer then you need to increase your calories/day.  You WILL gain weight if you eat enough.

Yeah, I'm starting to believe that the whole 'hardgainer' is just a scapegoat for lack of focus. If you have a high metabolism than you better make sure you are eating enough calories. Your diet, not your genes, is the enemey. For six weeks, I have maintained 3200+ calorie diet with regular compound lifting. I've gained 9 lbs (lost 2 lbs of fat & gained 11 lbs of muscle during that time). So guys, pretty please, with sugar on top: start lifting heavy and start eating obscene amounts of food. This is the 'hardgainer group' and we can do this.

wat food...i need a new shopping list

I am indeed a hard gainer, but yes i do have excuses..i hate eating the same food one day after another, i work 9-5 so hard to find the right places or time to eat.

I need a list of food that's worked for people, and how many times u eat a day...i've heard things like I need to eat 8 times!??

What I eat

Hi, I've gained 1,5 kilos in about 2 weeks, and i credit it alot to eating. I kind off been needing to forcefeed myself at times in order to get my 3000+ calories and I eat like 4 times a day with snacks of bananas or cookies in between. However, after a while of stuffing yourself, it gets easier as your body gets used to the amounts you are eating.

I eat /drinka alot of dairy, milk and cheese. Whenever i'm thirsty I try to drink whole milk.

I also take whey protein to help me reach my nutrition goals, protein or gainer shakes could be good if you are short of time.


Good luck!

I eat 6 or 7 times a day, spaced at two or three hour intervals. I must admit that other than dinner, I eat pretty much the same thing every day. That might not be ideal for picky eaters. Dinner is my only wildcard. I keep almonds and two servings of mini wheats at work, and I take the rest of what I need with me (a container with whey powder: just add water, and a container with 4 egg whites).

8 am: whey,total raisen bran, slice of toast with tbsp of olive oil. (600+ cals)

11 am: eggs, mini wheats

2 pm: whey, mini wheats, almonds

5 pm: 1/2 serving of mass gainer, 2 servings of whey. Sip it, don't chug it.

8 pm: Dinner, my favorite is two cups of rice and 8 oz. of chicken with kale or broccoli. Again, it's my wildcard.

11 pm: 4 egg whites, slice of toast w/ 2 tbsp of olive oil

I used to omit the fat from my diet, but it is incredibly important for hitting your calorie goal, and for growth in general.

can i stomach it?

Thanks for the replies.

6 or 7 times a day! i think i will definately throw up trying. I don't know if I can stomach the taste of that much wheat. I guess I'll start taking more bananas and egg whites to work, along with some protein shakes.
