6'4" and a 180 pounds for Life??? Gaining Weight Impossible!!

[angleslam]

this is so fucking true.

i used to bitch and moan about being a hard gainer. then i learned that my diet, although i thought was awsome, sucked. i almost doubled my calories and protein and put on 10 pounds in a month.

Same here man. It is so true. I use to also tell everyone that i had the fastest metabolism around, and was a hard gainer. I always thought that as long as i busted my ass working out 5 days a week I would have to get big. I finally got so fed up with not gaining weight that i posted my diet on this board to get reviewed(It really got slammed too by the way. Was a bit mad at the time, but now i thank everyone for it).I noticed i was getting enought proteing,but only getting half(if that) of the calories and carbs that i was suppose to.After i got my diet in check I started to see the results on the scale and so did everyone else.

Bit of an over-reliance on the oatmeal cookie there amigo. Looks good on the macronutrient breakdown, but that's only half the picture. In the interests of good nutrition you need to get some good complex carbs in there potatos, brown rice, pasta. Carbs is what skinny guys miss the boat on; everyone worries about protein, because the supplement industry has pumped up it's importance, in reality most people aren't protein deficient for their needs. People eat the crappiest carbs though and not enough of the good ones.
