The below is from a site i found and they just told me to eat all the foods i normally avoid :laugh:

----------------------------------------

Putting on muscle is not as easy at is seems; it takes work. A LOT of work. PAINFULL work. You have to eat, and I mean EAT. You will not get as big as a bear by eating like a bird. If you are trying to convince people that you are as tough and muscular as Richard Simmons, then continue to eat sissy leaning up foods like salads, canned tuna, and maybe even tofu. But if you wanna get to be a big mother?and I mean HUGE, then you have to eat like a man?no?a BARBARIAN, a VIKING, a WARLORD.

What's the recipe? Tons of red meat, Dark Beer, whole milk, cream, chicken, butter, old-fashioned peanut butter, chips, candy bars, donuts, complex carbohydrate sources etc, ad infinitum. Calorie and protein dense foods work wonders for adding mass, and when combined with the Ultimate Mass Building Workout you may grow like you have never imagined possible. ...

Well, yes if you are on Vit. S! If you are a natural athlete, we all have a "partitioning" factor for protein synthesis for muscle. Eating more food does not mean you will gain more muscle, but it certainly means you will gain more fat!

Assuming that 100% of excess calories are going to muscle is a very poor assumption. If memory serves me correct it takes 1200-2400 cal to synthesize a pound of muscle. Even with a partitioning rate of 50% which would be dam good, so you would need 2400-4800 calories above maintenance to gain a pound of muscle. And so you will be sending half that excess to fat stores.

Genes/genetics plays a vital role in your partitioning factor. The way those genes are altered is as noted in my first statement, Vit. S. :(
