Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below 600 extra cals of food is good chemistry to start, though still on the low side. Add some flaxseed or other polyunsat oils, and try to get more "real" food and less protein shakes. Maybe throw some higher GI carbs in with the post workout meal. Creatine, lots of iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc etc.... and general multi vites should also be taken in more than adequate amounts. Gallons of water............That's enough chemistry to make any one grow muscles if they're training hard enough. But calories and weight training are truly the most important. If this is not exceptable and she prefers to take AAS, then I'm sure some of the other women can advice on her best choices.
help! serious challenges adding muscle

Agreed. She's already on Flaxseed and plenty of vits, and minerals (not to mention handfuls of Vit C). Due to her Protein assimilation disorder, it's actually "painful" to injest a lot of solid proteins, she gained the 9# of muscle in the last 90 days due to whey and a few more meals.
BB Babe, can you handle the extra protein and food? (at least 600 cals babe).

Upping the calories seems like the next step! See what happens..
Righto, how about just increasing/cycling carbs as spats mentioned. There's really no need to increase protein per se. Carbs are the best food for building muscle IMHO (above a certain minimum requirement for protein). But if fat gain is a major paranoia, then increasing protein will work, albeit she'll need to increase cals even more than if she just adds fat or carbs.

Right on! Will give it a shot!!!! 
Just don't want to look like it "will take me 2 trips to haul ass!" lol
Just don't want to look like it "will take me 2 trips to haul ass!" lolas her trainer (and yes significant other), even 2 trips is a no-no. she's barely got one trip, and we both like that look
As to training, I scrounged some of Pumpgirl's workouts (legs and bacK) and we'll add some of her routines to it. Food is anabolic, this I know, it's just a matter of putting a lot of good stimulus to it and eating enough to maintain that anabolic state.
Should be fun, right Babe?

You betcha!

UPDATE:
She's been working hard on her routine and dropped the cardio, with no ill effects.
Diet is up to about 2200-2400 calories from 1600 and she's added about #2-3 a week for the last 2 weeks (started this program May 1st and has gone from 129 to 136 as of this morning).
More definition in legs, arms and abs still there. We're doing some formal measurements tonight, but my guesstimate is about an inch or more on Quads and definently a 1/2 on arms....
She's started cycling Anavar (IP is notoriously low/under dosed...so we've had to screw with settings) and our best estimate is between 8 and 12mg per day (3 tabs that should be 5mg, but are really about 4). She's getting better pumps, and the growth is obvious, the folks at work are seeing a difference and her nemesis across the hall, we'll just call her Ms. Jeni Craig, can't understand how she's put on a total of 16#, but is leaner, tighter, stronger and more buff.
Anyway, thought I'd update for Spatts and gang, you guys gave some great advice and the diet is doing the trick. We're both muscling up for our ride to Sturgis in August, and the group that went with us last year hasnt seen us in ages, so I think everyone's in for a very big surprise....BB-Babe is built....
Thanks Gang!
