With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I actually started going to the gym but My friends told me that I should just forget about the gym at this point and focus on eating to gain fats/weight so that going to the gym would be more beneficial. Is it true? I kinda restricted myself in eating rice and just eat wheat bread for my carbo and my friends again told me that I should just eat more and don't choose your food at this time. What do you think I should do?

But unless you want to get fat, I would eat alot of protein instead of carbs alone or whatever you want. If you look at your nutritional guide on this site, they tell you approximitely what you should have as far as protein amount, carb amount, fat amount, etc. Definitely do not forget the gym...otherwise you will just get fat. Good luck man, I'm still working on gaining more weight...So I'm with ya!
