I used to have that problem. If you're eating more and you aren't gaining weight, you aren't eating enough.

I have a very high metabolism, but once I started eating a lot more (about twice the amount I usually do) I gained around 10-20 pounds.

Yes, lift weights a man would.

I can do single arm curls with 60lbs for over 10 reps... can you?

..get a few cases of Snickers Bars. Their fairly nutritious and high calorie.

That's got to be the worst reason I've ever heard someone give for taking Creatine. He doesn't want to be a bloated fatass. Creatine is certainly helpful in the gym, however (CEE over Monohydrate FTFW).

To the OP. You're obviously not eating enough. As an ectomorph I know how hard it is to gain weight. I had to go from 2k to 3.5k+ calories a day just to make significant monthly gains, and even that big of a jump becomes less effective over time. Increase your calorie intake, but do it with protein (lean meats). 1-1.5g of Protein per pound of body weight is a good start. And don't quit the gym... this sort of sh1t takes time and determination.

Creatine doesn't make you a bloated fatass.

That is why I said join the gym.

I probably saw more gains in my first few months than I did in the year following them to be honest. It gets a lot harder when you hit your first plateau.

As to the subject, however, if you are doing a well balanced weight training program and still not seeing gains it's time to start looking at your diet. You don't need 'fattening' junk food, you need a lot of protein, carbs, and healthy fats. Implementing and sticking to a proper weight gaining diet was always harder than the actual workout in my experience.

I see you live in San Francisco. Just go to Chinatown and eat all three meals a day there. It's tasty, cheap, and soon enough, you will balloon like a manatee.

Eat
Squat :this will make you hungry and want to eat more
Go easy on the cardio, do some but don't do A LOT of it.
Bread and milk before you go to sleep.
Take on lots of milk.

And just EAT A LOT. If your not gaining weight YOUR NOT EATING ENOUGH.

I had a hard time gaining weight when I was 17-20 also. I put on weight but it was a lot of work for me as I was a thin guy. Funny thing is when I hit 21 it is MUCH easier now for me to put on weight. I guess 21 was just 'my' point to put on weight. I'm my heaviest at 85Kg in the morning that I have ever been.
