Answer 1

Eating is the first and most important factor that is needed for proper weight gain. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat. I suggest 6 meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day. The goal is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours.

Focus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts.

it sounds like so far so good really. stick with what you're doing. you've burned off a lot of fat. now you're going to be building muscle and lean muscle. that takes time. sounds to me like you're on the right track. hope that helps.

Answer 3

you probable lost a lot of your body fat, which is good.  Do you look more defined or leaner?  Eating more often is good, but you also need to increase your calorie intake.  Are you taking supplements?  Google on-line for the right types of food you should be eating and calorie calculators.  Good luck.

Answer 4

Eat the 6 meals a day. But eat more during each of the 6. As you are exercising you are increasing your muscle, and as we all know, well should know, muscle burns more calories, so the more muscle you start to gain the more you have to eat.

Eat a balanced diet. Eat more protein then you do carbs and make sure you don't leave out the fat, healthy fat that is.

Supplements can help, but make sure you get the bulk of say, your protein from whole foods over downing 7 protein shakes as your body will retain more.

Good luck.
