Weight Gain

[Gray Lion]

Back some fifty years ago, guys who wanted to put on weight during training started the dawn with about six eggs mixed up in a blender with bananna chips thrown in. After their run, they would sit down to a breakfast of a stack of pancakes, susage, biscuits loaded with butter, and fried eggs. Breakfast also included a slice of pie (apple, peach or some berry type.
They ate a lot of potatoes. One of the favorite meals was country friend steak with gravy, more biscuits, and mashed potatoes with a couple of vegetables such as peas or cream corn. In my part of the country, cornbread and buttermilk was an in between treat.
We were not into whey, protein powders and such because stores did not carry such.

I also remember they drank a lot of real milk..not the kind you get in stores, but the kind you had to scrape the cream off the top of the bottle. Lots of beef and steaks (meat was cheaper then), and other meats. Of course the workouts were demanding and very physical, but they did put on weight and muscle. The problem was that if you stopped the hard physical training and continued the eating part, you quickly got fat.

I think its more scientific today, and I would recommend you go to the library and do some reading on nutrition. Talking with others is fine, but you need to be knowledgable in making decisions on what you are going to put in your body.

I had the same problem. Creatine was the only supplement that helped me gain weight. I'm also thinking of adding another supplement. Has anybody tried mesosilver? I wanted to get some feedback before I ordered any.
