Hi my names Caleb, I live in Australia, the Blue Mountains to be exact. Im 6′ 4 - 85kg (187 lbs). I find that the best way to gain muscle is to maintain a HEALTHY high calorie diet. Not all fats are bad for you. So if you weigh 150 lbs you should be consuming anywhere from 2550 - 3000 calories PER DAY. I know it sounds daunting, but with a HEALTHY high calorie diet, consistant - diverse workout program and determination it will become frighteningly easy and with the rightt traing you’ll start to gain mucsle in just a few short weeks.

Well i’m a 14 year old girl with virtually no appetite, I get fully very quickly and i’m vegetarian so I’m only about 36kg. What foods (low sugar, relatively healthy) can I eat to help me gain weight. (I eat 3 weetbix for breakfast and usually have rice or pasta with vegetables for dinner)

I’m 19 years old and about 3 months ago I weighed 165 pounds (6′3″), I put myself on what I thought was a good weight gaining diet, Breakfast a bowl or two of Life cereal, two pieces of whole grain toast with peanut butter and honey, a banana, a glass of juice and a glass of milk, Lunch, a sandwich usually tomatoes lettuce salami cheese dijon mustard (all the good stuff), pasta salad. Dinner, Either a big plate of pasta with some whole grain buttered toast, and/or some sort of protein, I love steak, chicken’s good, pork is delicious, fish… not so much but I eat it on occasion. During the day I will eat a couple pieces of fruit, an apple orange, etc. and a whole bunch of dried fruit, probably a cup’s worth of raisins or apricots, or anything of the like. For a work out I do a yoga practice every morning along with about 100 push ups, I started at 20, and if my abs aren’t too tired from yoga I’ll do some sit-ups. I am now about 185, and pretty much all my weight gained was muscle.

You don’t need all this fake shite to help you gain weight, you just need dedication and a little bit of common sense. When I was 14 I was a hardcore athlete on my way to the olympics (long track speed skating), but training in the gym eff’d up my muscles in a way that I won’t ever be able to skate again without excruciating pain, this was a level 9 national team coach’s training program (for those skeptics out there).

Alot of gyms in my city don’t even allow anyone under 16 because they know of the dangers when underdeveloped muscles are strained like that. Anyways, just a little bit of insight, I know all you 13 year olds want to be nice n jacked so you can get all the ladies come highscool, goodluck and I hope you don’t mess yourself up like I did.

Hey, am 14 and have been working out ever since I could get in to the only gym in town (July seventh when I turend fourteen) I have always been skinny, and in the two months of working out I have only gained 4-5 pounds, maybe even less.

Basically, I have started eating protein bars after workouts (Isoflex, 30g protein, about 400 calories) and wonder if I should also should be taking weight gainers/protein shakes too?

Dont want to get massive big, but I hope to gain a few pounds in time for hockey season.

Thanks, zac

Nicci and whoever else,
i used to have small frame as well, i am 6′3, first of all u must realize that to essentially become bigger requires hard work as well as a decent period of waiting 6 months to a year for proper gains. The most important aspect is consistency. People hit the gym hard and eat well but only for a few weeks or months expecting to be massive, clearly not long enough, you need to also be eating as much as you possibly can, stuff your face with good foods like pasta, rice, banana’s etc, if u feel u need to, get a weight gainer, not protein powder (for now) but a high calorie shake, someone of your stature should be getting about 4000 calories, a lot i know but it worked for me. warning stay away from pro hormone pills etc
The next part is the exercises you should be doing in the gym.
i can’t stress this enough but the true mass building exercise is squatting: i will not explain the science behind it but squatting is the best exercise, add any other compound exercises as well like deadlift, bench press, shouolder press etc but don’t do curls, waste of fucken time. (warning due to our ectomorphic stature extra care needs to be taken when doing deadlifts and to a lesser extent squats, get a proper instructor to show u how to do these awesome exercises otherwise serious damage could occur.
so remember eat fucken well and alot about 4000 calories, and squatt in gym with deadlift bench etc
as they say muscle is built in the kitchen not in the gym.
good luck

I am a soldier in the us army i am currently in Iraq…i have developed a very nice and consistent work out plan…to go along with it i take a protein shake when i wake up…..i take another one sometime in the afternoon time (no specific time)…and one before i workout about 45 mins to an hour before i workout…plus i eat three to 4 times a day…and i eat snacks throught out the day…you HAVE TO GET YOURSELF TO EAT WHEN YOU REALLY DONT FEEL LIKE IT AFTER ABOUT A WEEK YOU BODY WILL DEVELOP ITTS OWN HABIT TO EAT AT THAT TIME AND THEN YOU WE BECOME HUNRGY AT THOSE TIMES YOU ATE SOME FOOD UNWILLINGLY……FOR THE FIRST WEEK IT IS TOUGH BE IT GETS ALOT EASIER TO WHERE YOU DONT REALLY THINK ABOUT IT.i have put on a nice amount of muscle in the last 3 months…it very possible the sercet to doing it is stay consistent….you have to keep the same eating habits just like its second nature.You really don’t have to work that hard when you work out either…I think its all about the eating side of it.

protein powders help out. I work at ups in the warehouse so i get a nice workout everyday. I had a huge problem gaining weight my first 2 years there. I began taking protein shakes last year and just recently switched to mass gainers. Im not sure if 13 is too young to be taking protein powders (you should try to construct your own healthy/power foods list before you add in supplements anyways) but you can look more into that if you like. My best advice for a 13 year old is to keep going once you get tired. the more tired you get, the stronger you will become afterwards (as long as you are not injuring yourself*** and you also gotta eat right before and after working out)

im turning 19 on sunday and im a toothpick. i’ve been like this for as long as i can remember. i see all these programs and adds on how to lose weight but this is the first i’ve seen on how to gain it. i eat healthy and everything and still maintain a weight between 118 and 125. and that doesn’t sound bad, but im 6′1″ and i know i should weigh more.

Hi I am 13, 38kg, and would like to put on more muscle. I know what foods to eat, and I workout with light weights, but I’m sometimes not really hungry for a morning or afternoon “small meal”, as is reccomended for those trying to put on muscle. Any tips?
Thanks, great site, Jim
