My name is Jonathan I am 17 years of age, I use to lift almost a year ago, but my partener went away to college and I lost all my motivation. Motivation is a big aspect in this hobby. Anyways im always physically fit, always looking to put on wieght and never to loose any. I weigh about 132 and am maybe 5'7. I would like to weigh 150 but thats just a goal. I started working out again for about a month now and this is what im doing. Trying to GAIN MASS. Its said to be diet accounts for about 80% percent for ones success. I am eating right, and eating more and training i think properly. I need calories to my understaing. I was told to eat 25 calories per pound of body weight. So i weigh 132 i must consume 3300 calories a day. I eat Lean cuts of beef. Buffalo meat chicken, Truckey , All fish, Peanut butter, Rice, Salads, All vegtables, All fruit and All cheese. I try to stay away from soda i drink a ton of water, more than 10 8oz glasses. And also stay away from reprocessed foods and from refined sugar. I eat 4 meals a day and will start including 2 shakes. 32 percent of protein 40 percent of carbohydrates and 28 percent of fats. Then i lift hard and have lots of rest.I am also on a few suppliments starting this monday July 31. 100% Whey Protein, Leukic, Mega Man Sport Vitamins and if im hungry during the day or at work and dont have time to eat something i snack on a Me-Rx Big 100 Meal Replacement bar. Thats pretty much it. I would like to start creatine but not right off the bat. I was also told about Gakic with my Leukic but i read that its a waste of money. Thanks for reading and tell me what you think. And not to mention i get a lot of rest and drink a lot of water. I am never seen with an empty glass of water. Open to any advice

I think that's way to many calories. You need to stay about 500 calories above maintence and keep it clean. To many cal's will lead to weight gain , but a lot of it being fat. Also do your best to get as close to a 40/40/20 Pro/C/F as you can. If you find yourself having a hard time getting enough cal's in a day, add Olive oil to your shakes.

Thanks for the olive oil trick never heard of that. Im looking for a lot of calories i want to gain weight.

wanting to add LBM is admirable but just wanting to add weight might be foolish... i think 3300 calories is a lot for a guy your size but i also think that if you want this bad enough and really commit to a lifestyle, you could easily gain 15-25 lbs of LBM in your first year. how would that sound... 5'7" and a fit 155? shoot for 2500-2750 calories every day with at least 155g protein. keep up the water intake, keep reading up, and keep asking questions on your quest!
