I have a fast metabolism and am naturally on the slender side. I’m trying to gain weight/mass by eating twice as many calories as recommended for those trying to maintain weight– eating 6 meals a day each containing dense calories. How long before I see a change physically and on the scale? I’ve also started working out again, doing some cardio and strength training.

Surprisingly, I had once gained over 10 pounds without seeing any change in my appearance. Then again, I probably gained some lean muscle. I suggest that you stick to whole carbs, lean meats, fruits and vegetables etc. Yes, I know that you are trying to GAIN weight but you should still do it healthily. Kudos to you for doing cardio and strength training but don’t forget to stretch! I find that my workouts are more effective if I stretch a little before the workout (dangerous to overextend muscles that haven’t warmed up yet) and more at the end of one. Good Luck!
it sounds like you are trying to bulk up, so definately eat more protein because that helps to add to muscle mass without causing you to gain a lot of extra fat. each person is different when trying to see results, but i would say with the amount of food you are eating, you should see at least some change, even just a small one within a week.
Ummmmmmm……. Eat many foods with lots of protein! Not much fiber!
