So I haven't made much progress with the whole weight gaining thing... and 6 months later I'm still ~133lbs and not counting. I've noticed an increase in appetite, but that's not really putting the pounds on. I think that makes me a "hardgainer" so something like that, right? I guess I'm just not taking the right approach and wasting my time doing the wrong exercises... Everyone keeps telling me to JUST EAT but I don't know how to start a new diet, or else I'd be willing to try.
So, my real question is what are the best weight-gaining foods that I have easy access to? A lot of people are recommending different things but I don't know shit about Protein and Carbs... other than I lack both. Some people are suggesting that I have 6 lighter meals a day, but I'm thinking maybe 5 tops. Any ideas on that? Also, if anyone could recommend an exercise plan, that would be phenomenal... I was spending 40 min a day doing different stuff and nothing really happened. I felt stronger after a few weeks but muscle mass (or lack of) remained the same.
