    Ectomorphs are not a thing. It's a fitness myth. If you want to gain, you need to eat in a surplus. Set you account to gain, and eat that calorie amount daily. If you don't gain after a month, then add another 250 calories.. rinse and repeat.

    And if you want muscle, follow a progressive lifting program.

    If you need help getting calories, the above thread has tips on how to get there. Weight gain is about consistency.

    BTW, which lifting program are you following?

    I saved the thread thank u very much. My eating plan is on track since I started MFP but the problem is consistency in the gym. At the moment in training on a Monday Wednesday Friday and Saturday. I can train for months and get strong and pack on few pounds too and then suddenly I will stop for a while. I don't know why. And as a Muslim we have to fast for a whole month every year. We can only eat at nights. That does throw a spanner in the works. Monday is back and rear delts. Wednesday is legs. Friday is bicep and back and Saturday is shoulders and triceps.

    You would be better off following a structure full body routine. Hitting muscles only once a week, is rather ineffective.
