"Need to gain 20 pounds in 60 days."
That's a lot of weight to gain in a short amount of time.
This one works pretty well, it's also lactose free and easier on the digestive system

Vanilla is my favorite flavor.

Make sure you get proper rest, diet and workout plan. They are all equally as important. Combo workouts are good for gaining weight as they'll also boost your testosterone (deadlifts, bench, pullups)

Okay how many grams of protein should I eat a day?
160 pounds= me.
- 2 grams per lb.kona
- maxkona
- if you're looking to gain 'weight' though you want carbs and fat. i imagine you want good weight though, so stay away from starches.kona
- fromkona
- fromkona
- lol. just fucking with you. stay away from starches. eat sweet potatoes. brown rice. whole wheat. peanut butter.kona
- its usually 1.6gHombre_Lobo
- with the amount you ride your bike you'll absolutely want to be taking in roughly 3000 calories per day. and that might even be low.kona
- be a little low. 3000 is what i take in to MAINTAIN my current 170lb weight, training 5 days a week high intensity.kona
- yeah hombre that's why i said 2 grams max.kona

To gain weight, start eating _normal portions_ (and by normal, I mean what everyone else eats outside of North America, not those fucking ginormous super-sized things) six times a day, and eliminate as much refined sugar and processed foods as possible, and eat your fucking veg and pulses.
You need to build lean muscle mass, not gain weight, per se.
Next, if you're not lactose intolerant, use the GOMAD method. This means, 'one Gallon Of Milk A Day'. And not just any milk, either. Full-fat/homogenised milk. It's loaded with protein and vitamins, and your body will store the fat it NEEDS, and you'll shit the rest out. This will give you healthy mass faster than anything, although you could also supplement with a protein powder once a day with your milk regimen.
_This is all provided you also exercise._ Otherwise, you'll go fat, and that's all there is to it.
For protein-rich foods*, look to:
- Eggs
- Lean red meat
- Poultry
- Tuna
- Cheese (NO processed cheese of any kind. None. Zero.)*Don't bother with pork. It's far too fatty. Also avoid cured/smoked products such as sausages, bacon, corned beef, cold cuts and so on. They're useless.
Since you say you've got more fat than muscle, avoid unnecessary carbs (sugar, pasta, rice).
Any three time per week regimen that emphasises compound movements with free weights to build core strength - especially deadlifts and squats - will have you beefed up.
However, all of this requires tremendous commitment on your part, and if you're not committed, you won't see results.
That said, 60 days is utterly unrealistic, unless you're juicing. Any natural builder will tell you that you won't _start_ to see appreciable results for at least three months.
In any case, I suggest you look here for training regimen, technique and nutrition: http://stronglifts.com/
Good luck.

Thanks Continuity.
I am ZERO fat though - not more fat than muscle.
I do not eat gluten - so all my carbs come from rice and rice pastas. I already eat real healthy...
Greens, organic dairy, lots of chicken and fish.
I basically eliminated gluten and lost some weight (mostly in muscle never had fat) and I just want to gain some back. Change my diet up. Try riding less until I am not a scronny lil weasel.
As I am researching it looks like I am what is considered a "hardgainer"?
- Fish is lovely for Omega-3 fatty acids, especially salmon. And it's good for your brain.Continuity

As you move into your 30s, your metabolism will change. You will start to become fatter naturally. Be careful .. you might just get what you desire.
- grafiske0
Fuck yeah to the fishies. I plan on eating a lot of white (non tuna - MERCURY CENTRAL) and salmon for the next couple of months.
The one thing I find confusing is some people say to load up on carbs as much or more than proteins for someone my size / metabolism.
I feel like that would make me feel ill - but I can eat protein for days.
Any thoughts on that one?
- Continuity0
'Hardgainers' is bullshit. I used to think that, too, cos I _thought_ I could eat like a horse, and not gain a single kilo.
Fact is, people who say that (myself included) either didn't eat enough actual meals, or they don't eat enough variety.
I forgot to mention: nuts are little protein bombs, especially almonds (27g per 100g of nuts, if I remember correctly). A handful of those twice a day, along with your mid-morning and mid-afternoon meal, and it will help a lot.
- Also, nut oils (except for peanuts) are exceptionally good, they're full of nice things your body needs.Continuity
- True for me too.Glitterati_Duane
- I ate a lot of junk and could never gainedGlitterati_Duane
- *gain. Started eating more balanced meals and gained an easy 15Glitterati_Duane
- Same here. I could devour entire large pizzas in one sitting, and have nothing to show for it, except acne from all the grease.Continuity
- LOL continuity! acne!
yeh man eating lots of proper food is the win for gaining.Hombre_Lobo
- grafiske0
Hmm. Maybe it's variety. Either way I will be monitoring my intakes a lot more closely so maybe that will shed some light on it.

Its quite simple really. EAT MORE.
When i was training at uni i had 9 meals a day.
You've just gotta get used to it. Obviously if your training along side eating lots its easier as your body needs the food. Lots of milk as Continuity mentioned is good too, i just drink lots anyway, 4 pints a day.Just so you know, you'll generally encounter 2 different schools of thought on weight gaining.
Some saying Clean weight gaining - hammer the protein and gain weight cleanly without getting fat.
Others are opposed to this and will argue you need to hammer carbs, fat and protein, - you get a little fatter and bigger but then you 'cut' (reduce body fat) by reducing carb intake.
ive found just hammering protein doesnt gain mass for me, and most say you need to hammer carbs, fast and protein to gain. Try just protein, it might do for you. if not consume them all!
Flapjacks and peanut butter are good. Lots of fats protein and carbs.
a tablespoon of peanut butter a couple of times a day in between meals will work wonders. As its high in fat and protein it kinda triggers your body into storage mode (as in store energy and fats, not burn them).If you lose weight easily it may be a metabolism thing. smoking or caffine can increase your metabolism so cut them out.
Also try to be careful on the weight gain. dont do it unhealthily.
Dont hammer the saturated fats.Go for lots of carbs too, lots of pasta, bread, rice.
Jacket Potatoes have crazy carbs, its very close to sugars on the Glycemic index, so try to eat those.Also, be thankful. Its much easier to gain than it is to lose!

The point of the nutrition aspect of building - or even if you're not, actually - is that you really can eat whatever you want, provided your portions are moderated, you pay close attention to the nutritional value of the foods you eat and you take the time to cook it all yourself, as opposed to getting boxed meals, take-aways and so on.
Cooking your own food from scratch gives you control over what you put into your body, thus giving you control over what you get out of your proper diet and exercising. Cooking is also great fun, and there are so many sources of absolutely wonderful recipes: fxcuisine.com being one of my all-time favourites, because it's not only slow food he advocates, but slow food you can prapre in large batches (in many cases) and freeze in portions, like his pasta sauces.
Also, birds dig guys who cook. :)
