[QUOTE="Muneeb, post: 2136647, member: 491635"] How well controlled are his blood sugars? This is paramount to building muscle or putting on healthy weight. I assume he is type 1 on basal/bolus injections. If the needles are hurting has he got the smallest available (I believe 4mm are the smallest) Generally if he eats more than his maintenance calorie requirements + calories burned through exercise, he will put on weight. You want high calorie dense foods. I'd suggest eating healthy fats like almonds (most nuts tbf), eating more protein in meats like chicken, steaks, fish (healthy fats and protein), topping up with milk and other dairy products.
