If youre eating eggs and meat, and drinking protein shakes after your workouts, you probably arent suffering from a protein deficit. And, if youre consuming a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight every day, regardless of the protein source, you will be providing your body with all the protein it needs for muscle repair and growth.
We suspect that your lack of growth stems either from overtraining or a deficit of total quality calories, or both. Often, hardgainers make the mistake of thinking that the more they work out, the more they will grow. If youre weight training more than four times a week, then youre probably doing too much. Keep your training volume down (limit weight-training sessions to 60 to 75 minutes at most) and focus on basic movements such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses and shoulder presses. If the volume of your workouts is too high, you can burn too many calories, fatigue your muscles too much and prevent your body from properly repairing itself and building muscle mass.
To get sufficient total quality calories, concentrate on taking in more complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. Not eating enough of these is the most common mistake among hardgainers. Adding bodyweight is always a calorie game. If youre not eating more calories than you need for maintenance, you will lose weight from either bodyfat or muscle. Strive to eat six meals per day, and while youre trying to gain mass, eat complex carbs, such as rice, oatmeal, yams and potatoes, several times a day. Include healthy fats, such as olive and canola oil, avocados, fatty fish, nuts and seeds, in your diet. These additions should help you overcome your hardgainer status.

There's no absolute best way, everybody is different! Ideally, you gain muscle w/o gaining a lot of fat....there's several ways to go about this, generally though, stick to a clean diet consisting of lean proteins, healthy fats and slow-burning carbs. If you're metabolism is rather high you can get away w/ eating things others couldn't w/o gaining too much fat....but it also means you'll likely have to eat more food than someone w/ a slower metabolism!
