    To gain weight:
    1. Find your TDEE - Total Daily Energy Expenditure. This is how many calories you need to eat to MAINTAIN weight
    2. For a bulk, eat a surplus over the TDEE. +500 calories = +1lb per week or +250 calories = +0.5lb per week (on average).
    3. Lift during this time. Bulking is the best time to build muscle. Go at +500 calories if you are very skinny, otherwise go at +250 calories (+500 calories WILL build some fat with the muscle, +250 calories means slower progression but less fat gained).
    4. TRACK YOUR CALORIES - have a myfitnesspal account and log everything you put in your mouth, religiously.
    5. Work out on a good program (beginner: SS, SL, ICF3x5, GZCL LP, GreySkull LP, intermediate: PPLPPLx, GZCL, Texas Method, PHAT, PHUL) and be consistent. If you can't bench your bodyweight for reps (as a man) AND squat and deadlift 1.5x bodyweight for reps, do beginner program.
    6. Weight yourself once a week, same time of day. Weight fluctuates due to hundreds of factors... As long as there is a trend in the direction you want, you are golden.
