I also bought some canned chicken. It has about 65 grams of protein in it so I eat that as a lunch so I'm intaking about 140 grams of protein a day. I have heard before that you're supposed to take a gram of protein for every pound you want to weigh.

Mountain GSR- Good informative post man. I have the same metabolism as you. Seems no matter how much I eat I cant gain weight. So I have been taking 80 grams of protein a day plus the chicken which is 65 grams which takes me to 145 grams or so a day but I dont eat the chicken everyday. Last time I was working out a lot was in September and I was at 178 lbs. Then I stopped working out till January 12th and I was at 163 or whatever and am still at 174 now. I think thats just from eating more and working out. Like I said I'm trying to get to the 185-190 range. Mostly when lifting I get really toned. I can see my chest is getting bigger but I'm not gaining a lot more weight. I'm working on it though.

When you say you are now eating three meals a day do you mean you are eating 3 down from 5, or eating 3 up from 1? Just curious. It sounds like I'm probably a lot shorter than you, so maybe you can hold more food per sitting, but I know I have to eat like 7 times a day when I'm lifting just to keep from metabolizing myself.

Its taking a long time to gain weight by lifting. I'm thinking about going on weight gainer because it gives you 1850 calories per serving. With working out I would think you couln't help but gain weight.
