Need help gaining weight.?

I''m 6 foot and 165 pounds. I''ve been working out for a couple of months now and I''m trying to gain weight. I want to get to around 185-200 lbs. I have been 165 lbs for a long a time and have not gained a pound. After a workout I will drink a protein shake, 2 scoops, and will usually have a chicken breast, hamburger, or pasta. I also do cardio everyday because I try to maintain my endurance for hockey. What else should I do, or not do?
Also I''m trying to gain muscle weight not fat, so don''t tell me to eat junk food.

Help Me Lose Weight by Burning Fat in the Gym

Recommended Answer:
If you are looking to gain 20-35 pounds, you need to eat a high calorie diet to help you supplement the calories needed to build muscles as well as help you meet the calorie requirement daily. The next thing you need is to also sleep consistently and also do the right workout regime. It seems that diet is even more important for you to get right as you are doing hockey which burns a lot of calories in both your practice sessions as well as your competition. Here is what I do recommend to help you. Remember that this will take around 20-35 weeks to achieve, so do not give up before the time is up.

In terms of diet, it is important to consider eating a high calorie diet filled with natural food. The foods you should eat more of are bread, pasta, potatoes, biscuits and rice. This will help give you energy to work on the pitch as well as give you the ability to gain weight by making your calorie intake higher than your output. You can also try adding milk into your diet to help you get the protein you need to help you to repair muscles which is the healthy way to gain and maintain weight. I would recommend starting out by drinking 500ml of milk 3 times each day if you are not lactose intolerant. Weigh yourself once every week and see if your weight increase, if not simply drink a 100ml more of milk each time. Once you spot a gain of 1-2 pounds, then it is time to hit the workout room and get proper rest.

The important thing to prime yourself up to gain muscle mass as weight is to sleep well. If you do not rest enough, your muscles and immune system will take a hit and make gaining weight even harder. Even though this may seem simple, it took me a while to get the hang of it and to apply it on a consistent basis. One test I would like you to try is to sleep and wake up by yourself on a day where you have no activities plan ahead. Take note of how many hours you need to sleep and keep repeating that daily in order to ensure that you gain the weight you need as well as keep your immune system strong so that you will not fall sick which will cause you to lose weight.

The last thing is to spot what workout fits you best. So far, I have found the workout at http://gohforth.com extremely good in terms of helping me and my clients to gain weight. I was able to consistently put on a pound a week without suffering much downtime. There were also months I can gain close to 5 pounds which is an extremely big motivation to spur me on to train, sleep and eat properly. Perhaps you could give it a try and see if it changed your life like it did for me.

• Eat pizza and junk and stuff AFTER you work out. Thats easier than loosing
