I've been trying to gain weight the past 2 months by eating everything in sight, including sweets.

Mike Chang, the sixpackshortcuts guy from youtube, says an easy way for skinny guys to gain weight is to eat a lot of whatever you like regardless if it's healthy or not. So that could mean pizza and donuts. Well, I've taken that advice to heart lol.

It's so hard though. I've only gained 3 lbs in 2 mo. Once I hit the 3000 cal mark my body does not want any more food and nothing looks good anymore.

Has this worked for any of you?

    If you are building muscle, a couple lbs a month sounds good to me... eat healthy, I would say.

    sixpackshortcuts channel is a load of old tosh. You dont need to eat "dirty" fats and carbs to gain weight. Just eat a lot of good fats and good carbs.

    How many calories are you trying to eat each day? 3000? I'm eating 2600 a day and I find that if I eat all healthy whole food, 2600 is alot of food.
