    After losing 32 pounds through two rounds of P90X I felt I needed to add some muscle. Since the end of September I've upped my calories in conjuction with more aggressive weight lifting. I've gained 10 pounds so far, would like to add about 5 more over the next month or so before I really hit P90X hard again.

    Hopefully half of the 15 total I put on will be retained as muscle, we'll see.

    I don't think you do. Some people seriously struggle to get in the calories they need on a daily basis.
    Us food-lovers just don't understand unless you open up your mind.

    hey I used to be one of those people. I could eat 24/7 and never gain an ounce. now I just think about food and I'm gaining. Where did the good old days of being too skinny go? can I get a dog to track them down you think?

    just keep trying, its so hard to gain weight the healthy way. I'm stuck at 97-98 pounds but there's no point in upping my calorie intake goal, I just can't possibly eat any more anyway, Most days I don't even go near 1300. I've swapped out snacks for protein bars, added breakfast (I usually eat nothing) added mindless (healthy) snacking in front of the tv, and I still barely get there.

    The only time I ever gained a decent amount was eating fast food for every meal, for six months...it was not healthy and I felt horrible and was sick all.the.time.

    Good luck trying to do this the healthy way! I'm trying to build muscle right now and its so hard!! I think I'm just meant to be underweight?

    Yep, I'm on here to gain. I've gained almost 10lbs (keeping 7 to 9 of them on). It's hard!!! It's taken me several weeks to get my body used to eating more. My problem was I would eat (or not eat) and simply not get hungry. I am drinking protein shakes every day (specific weight gain ones), but I've also been trying to continue increasing my calories with "real" food. Lots of pastas, rice, and beans have helped me.

    What are you doing as far as working out goes? If you do some heavy lifting you will most likely work up an appetite!
