I used to think (being a hardgainer) that I couldn't gain weight...until I kept track of how many calories I was actually consuming and the frequency of my meals. I would suggest keeping a log of what you eat and how often. The trick is to consume more calories than you burn. I haven't yet come across anyone who hasn't gained any weight from consuming 3,500+ calories per day! Good luck! -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

My husband is on a gaining cycle and has been eating between 3600-4000 calories with under 100g of fat. Yesterday he was under 80. You need to eat a lot of high protein/lowfat foods and good carbs. Avoid sauces, butter, mayo etc. Lots of chicken breast, tuna in water, eggwhites, cottage cheese and a good lowfat protein powder. Good luck with it. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
