Not taking in enough calories to gain muscle?
I'm 5'8, 158 pounds, and have a slim build. I workout at least 5 days a week and see some toning but no big gains like I'd hope for. I also take a whey protein mixed in with a carbo gainer and I'm still sitting at the same weight. Any tips or meals that could help me pack on extra weight?

Can't get enough food to reach my goal :(
Anyone had some issue? It seems impossible to eat all that food to reach over 3000 cal. I guess my digestive system didn't take it well either as it made me feel sick. I don't tend to eat bad food either and I am not a meat lover... Any suggestions?
