hi, i weigh 170 lbs and am 5'11. however, i still look skinny and yet i work out. what should be my calorie intake a day in order to get up to around 185-190? I know to eat healthy and not junk food and crap i just am curious where my calorie intake should be at.
i want to gain 15 lbs

how many calories a day does all that come out to though? im trying to measure them on each item of food i eat. and after how many days can i actually see some progress on my weight gain? will i notice a difference after one day?

Go out and eat about 5 packs of icecream a day!! then u gain a lot of fat!!!!! OHHHHH FAT IS GOOOODD!!!
Protein - 360g = 1440cal
Carbs 300g = 1200cal
Fat- 110g= 990cal
total cals= 3630cals (which will def be increased over time)
15lbs of muscle doesn't happen over night, go on and let go of that instant gratification ideal about seeing progress in a day, that'll mess up your progress because this is a long term lifestyle change. You WILL make great gains but you have to stick with it.
What does your workout routine look like?

Yes, and alot of saturated fat.Espi said:You're skinny, so I would highly recommend your eating junk food 2-3 times a week...McDonald's has a helluva lot of protein in their sandwiches.
Better sticking with a weight gainer shake. Complex carbs, fat absorbing protein.

Also keep in mind that post workout nutrition is KEY. I have gained alot more mass since I started to take weight gainer shakes immediatelly after workout. About 600calories a shake. (60-80g protein).
About 1.5-2 hours later I eat a proper meal.
I have gained alot more lean mass that way. You have a window of ~1hour after workout in which your body readily absorbs nutirents.
