Best way to gain weight?
I can't seem to break the 200 lbs barrier no matter what I do. I know eating and lifting is the key, but I eat and lift quite a bit. I'm 6'2, 40 yrs old, 197lbs, perhaps I should just accept being this size? Or perhaps I'm missing something? Any suggestions appreciated, in terms of programs at gym and diet.

its all diet as Im sure you know. Calories in Calories out.
I couldn't gain weight for the life of me till hired a nutritionist and realize just how much food I needed to eat! ITs changed my life. I have had a guy doing all my meal plans and workouts for 4 years now and I am in the best shape of my life. I have done many bulk and cut cycles over this time and achieve crazy results for me. Very much recommend. there are a lot of people out there the guy I have used is https://nicpalladino.com

Yeah, without more information, it's impossible to tell.
At 40 years old, you should be thankful that you're having trouble putting weight on, frankly. |

Maintain your caloric intake and reduce your activity level. e.g. immediately stop all exercise.

Eat a ton, drink a ton of water. Eat like Phil and Ronnie for a few months:
Go to your local men's health place and they will put you on some test. That will help. Or get on real gear ![]()

Each day I start with toast with half cottage cheese and half peanut butter. And a smoothie with fruits, veggies and protein powder.
Lunch I'll eat a steak with brown rice, or a couple hamburger patties with brown rice. Or a bowl of pasta. Dinner is usually my biggest meal, I eat usually more meat, pork, chicken or steak, with brown rice and veggies. I think I need specific bulking meals and also need to workout less but go heavier. |

I've never had that problem my entire life. If I just look at food I gain weight. For fucks sake I even gained weight just eating broccoli and grilled chicken breast for a week.

agree more frequent and more quantity, counting macros is good if your disciplined enough, you basically need to get to the point where your sick of eating and have those cheat days to keep you going.

Not enough peanut butter in that diet man lol. I tend to go through at least a 16oz jar a week. Eat more later at night, even then it might not work as it doesn't seem to phase me. Post dinner I usually eat at least one PB&J, then a bowl of cereal or oatmeal with more peanut butter, top it off with 3 eggs if I'm still hungry.
Your metabolism seems similar to mine right now, diet most likely will not be the only fix to the problem. Even eating like I do the weight doesn't seem to stick, but I'm active as hell each day. Reduce cardio and add more PB then report back haha! Your diet looks a little too clean to add weight, hell I'd be happy just maintaining weight with the blurb you mentioned. If I ate like that I'd be down a 5 pounds in just a few days. Bottom line if you're trying to gain weight, and you're not exhausted just from eating, then you aren't trying hard enough haha |

Post up your workout routine for a typical week - are you doing cardio as well as lifting?
My bet is you're overestimating how many calories you're actually eating. |
