I am actually trying to gain some muscle weight and to be honest i have no idea what I'm doing! Could somebody please take a look at my diary and tell me if my goals are even possible. I don't really have much on there because like i said i have no idea what i"m doing. So please any advice will help!

    Your diary is not public so I can't see it to make a recommendation. Maybe it is avaialbe to your MFP friends only.

    You'll have to open your diary to public view under settings if you want us to look. Basics for gaining muscle (as far as I know), are set MFP to the gain you want per week, eat your calories but make it a good mix of proteins and complex carbs, and do some strength training. Most of us are trying to gain lean mass while losing weight, so I hope someone will have more insight for you. :wink:

    I have limited personal experience with this, but aside from this site, check out bodybuilding dot com. They have articles and forums there with advice on nutrition, especially for folks like yourself looking to add muscle. Obviously, you'll need to strength train (lift weights). You'll also need a lot of good, high-quality calories, especially protein from lean sources (chicken, fish, etc.). Diet is a big factor here, not just for bodybuilders, but for anyone trying to add muscle. Another good site mentioned elsewhere here is scoobys workshop dot com. This guy has lots of info on diet and nutrition. Several of my friends are in the same position as you are, and I know how hard it can be to add quality body mass without fat gain. Good luck!
