I'm skinny trying to get toned. I've been eating healthy meals, every three hours and going to the gym everyday (for at least two hours). I lost weight. I’m at 91 lbs now.. but that’s a bad thing! I keep losing fat but I’m not gaining any muscle! What can I do guys? Please help. I need to gain weight (in muscle, not fat obviously).

Should I do less cardio and more weight lifts? Or eat differently? HELP!!! :(

    Do less cardio and lift more. Also eat more and eat protein. Drink plenty of water.

    You have to intake more calories (healthy calories) than you burn. 40% carbs (sweet potato's, brown rice, etc.) 40% protein (chicken, eggs, fish, etc) and 20% fats (almonds, walnuts, avocados, etc). I don't count veggies or fruit as a carbs, I eat as much veggies as I want along with fruit! They are good snacks. I also drink Whey protein shakes after a work out. Over all I eat about 2000 calories a day. Try lifting three times a week and cardio twice a week. It is working for me. I hope this helps.
