Bulking @ 16 with a Very High Metabolism

[Deltoidzbrah]

Hey everyone,

So basically, my metabolism is extremely high, I'm very lean (I would say I'm about 8% bodyfat), my arms constantly have veins popping out and I want to gain some (srs) muscle mass in the following year or so. This question has probably been addressed and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a high metabolism and craps out everything he eats and drinks. All I want to know is what I should be doing/eating specifically to gain muscle (as well as working out 3/4 times a week). If anyone could link me to the answer or quickly reply it would be greatly appreciated, and yes I made this misc account in kind of a hurry and am fairly new, also someone negged me -3100 or so and I don't know why lol

From what I know, I need to eat tonnes of carbs, but even then nothing seems to take much effect (I have been getting slight gains over the past month and I've been eating heaps of chicken and drinking lots of protein shakes). Yes, I only started working out recently but I have done quite a bit of research though I still need help on this sector as well as some confirmation.

Just need some help, thanks (Will probably edit in the future because I may have missed out on a few things).

there is plenty of sticky's and info on this website. start your research and come back with specific questions or problems.

I won't answer question that was answered 1000 times before....

lift and eat. and then eat more.

[spiderman997]

Gallon of whole milk a day.

[creamofthefight]

eat like it's the end of the world. yeah.

[JJRC]

how much do you weigh and what's your height?

eat:
oats
pasta
rice
chicken
tuna
eggs
peanut butter
drink milk at each meal too if you can (300ml = 180-200 calories)

lift hard and eat a lot, get enough sleep

Peanuts and milk

I know where you're coming from, I'm a hard-gainer too. You just need to fuel your body with more calories. You can see my age, bodyweight and height and I take in 3500 calories a day and I'm seeing some significant gains.
Also, try a weight gainer instead of a protein shake, something with some clean carbs in (not tons of sugar- maltodextrin).
Eat lots of boiled chicken, rice, tuna, sardines, pasta, eggs and drink a **** load of milk. You should see gains quickly if you've just started training.
Make sure when you train, you train as intense as you can. Do compound lifts as well. You need to maximise your gains while your body hasn't got used to training yet, because the more you train, the harder the gains become.
As for when you should train. Try a 4 or 5 day split.

Problem with calories? Get optimum Serious mass problem solved.

[Branx]

Eat every 2 hours a full meal, eventually you'll get used to eating that much and you'll gain no problem.

There are much better mass gainers than that out there.

lol'ed at very high metabolism


Well, at least I'm not the one making up excuses.

[smac898]

eat 1.5g protein per pound bodyweight, and about 3-4g carbs per pound bw. keep fat to about .5g per pound bw. If you cant eat that much in a day, use milk, whole, lowfat, skim or w.e. to help you get more in. You might want to try a carb/amino intraworkout product as well. I personally dislike mass gainer powders, because whole food is just better ... but they do help people like you get alot of macros stomached, so you could look into one. I used to have trouble gaining weight, but i solved it by simply eating larger meals, and more often, since my stomach is small. Also make sure you eat a good amount of fiber. You dont need fiber enriched food, just eat food naturally high in fiber, and you'll be good. High food intake needs high fiber intake to help digestion

Making up excuses? Do you mean my metabolism is an excuse for not eating enough? Yeah I need to eat more lol...

I would probably throw-up on the second meal.

I drink around 2-5 cups of milk a day, good to hear that helps.

Mix your protein shake with milk?

IIFYM.

[Npalmerr]

You've just got to fuel your body with more foods, high carb foods preferrably considering you're looking to gain weight. High protein and carbs with hard lifting should do the trick? Simple enough. Providing you don't **** the other areas of your diet.

[n9ne1]

5k calories a day for 6 months, come back then and determine where you are at after that and where you want to go.
