weight gainer question

[gompka]

Hi, I am 18 and have been working out for about a year now. I am 6' 2" and weight 150 I can't gain any weight even since I'm eating more now. I went out and bought some weight gainner 2200 calorie from gnc. I'm using 1 scoop so about 1200 calories per shake.
Can you guys give me any more info on how to use this stuff properly? Like when to use it and maybe how to adjust my diet? Or do I just keep eating my regular meals and take this...

Thanks

Hey Gompka!

Here are some basics for you:

Count your kcal and protein - know what you eat.

Eat 3000 kcal / day (minimum, no ifs ands or buts), 200-250 g protein, too (no ifs ands or buts).

Eat 6 meals each w/ 500 kcal and 40g protein (no ifs ands or buts).

Eat at schedule times: 7AM, 10AM, 1PM, 4PM, 7PM, 10PM (no ifs ands or buts).

You can use your wt. gainer for 1 of these meals. Have some around for emergency, so you don't miss a meal, but stick to real food.

P.S. Many of the topics discussed here are pretty advanced, so you might not get a ton of replies. Read all you can, go to other boards and do the same. You might ask if there are some good resources some of the other guys can point you to for nutritional basics.

thanks for the reply,

Do you know of any good forums online? Cause I see alot out there but don't know which ones are good. Also I need more info about how to find out how much cal/protein is in the food that I eat.

hey bro

Hey bro welcome
Listen to randy. He knows his shit. I think it's better and cheaper to stick to real food. Like lean steak(top round,sirloin),chicken breats,egg whites.etc. I personally love egg whites. I eat around 2 dozen a day. Its a pain in the butt waking up at 4:30 am to crack 12 eggs and seperate the egg whites. But i think its worth it. Plus it's cheap protein. People think I am weird when I go to walmart and buy 14 dozen eggs a week. But the hell with then. SDo listen to the people on this board. They helped me out alot.
Hope that helps. Lata
