Well… that didn’t work… either
I just finished a "eat everything imaginable in hopes that with the fat, I’ll gain muscle too" phase. It didn’t work. I see absolutely no increase in muscle. But I did manage to gain 10 pounds of fat. Some say I needed it. But, I like my body better when I’m super lean. I’m probably around 12% body fat right now. I liked 6% much better.
My face definitely liked the weight gain. It looks much better.
Now I have to lose those 10 pounds. Not fun. Back on my "Protein Sparing Modified Fast", which works very well for me. But, it will take 3 to 5 weeks to lose what I’ve gained.
I won’t be intentionally gaining weight ever again. It can’t be healthy to gain and lose, gain and lose.

Muscle needs fuel, if you don’t feed it then it wont grow. Try eating the correct foods and you will gain lean mass.

I am definitely going to try changing what specifically I eat.
I’ve been supplementing with Whey protein, Creatine, L-Glutamine while "eating everything imaginable", but I haven’t eaten much meat.
So, for the next few months I’m going to try a modified work out routine (less) and eating more meat. And, I’m going to try eating small amounts very frequently, and always with lots of protein.
Eventually, something I try has to work, right?
