in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Okay so I'm 18 and I'm 6ft weighing 145ish give or take a couple pounds at any given time. I would say i eat quite a bit throughout my day. Not usually at one sitting but throughout my day I eat small little snacks and meals. At one point less than a year ago i was weighing 180 and loved it, i filled in with my tall body. Ive been drinking 60g protein powder shakes with milk the last week and have done a little weight lifting, will that gain me some weight? and what else can i do to gain weight? It seems like i just eat eat eat but never stays on.

    Caloric surplus = weight gain
    If you're not gaining, you're not eating enough.
