I am in an unusual situation. I am a guy and I weight 130 lbs and I'm trying to get back to 155. None of my friends need to gain weight. I just want to know someone who is in the same boat and not ridicule me for "being so lucky to be skinny." Anybody else feel me on that one? I have worked out for a while, but I am just starting to incorporate my diet as part of my training. Yes, I know, should have been doing that from the start, but this app and the fitbit flex are the first time that tracking that info was not so tedious. Anyone who has advise on where all those extra calories are suppose to come from would help too.

    So you wanna gain weight? You taking protein powder after your workout? Alright get yourself a blender, some whole milk, peanut butter, and ice cream. Blend that together in your post workout. Enjoy your bonus 1000 calories.

    Apologies.

    Look at the Harris Benedict or Katch-McCardle for your calorie count.
    This video may help as well.
