    If your new keep it simple
    Eat clean
    Lift heavy
    Sleep sound

    Just be patient and the results will come and in 6-12 months then start messing with different macros and calories

    I'm 18, 5'4 and only weight like 6st 8lbs. So I'm a pretty small underweight guy. This is my second day of my new diet change. I went from a minor 1500 calorie a day diet to a 3500 calorie diet. The new diet consists of peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches, plenty of eggs and a lot of milk and other stuff of course. My metabolism is very fast. When should I start seeing results? Should I boost it up to 4000 calories?

    Before starting heavy lifting focus and learn form . Since you are lean and any sudden heavy lifting with poor form can cause injuries . Look for Videos from Athleanx on YouTube and see how Jeff was able to add muscle on a hard gainer -Jesse .

    Do you mean 2 grams per kilo of body weight?
