[QUOTE="g-man, post: 155671, member: 26399"] Protein shakes won't put weight on you, they contain little to no carbs. To put on weight, you need to take in more calories than you expend during a typical day. I'm not being condescending, that's just how it is! :D (barring any medical condition that could be interfering of course). My guess is you're eating less carbs during a day than you think and compounding this by exercising too much, so all the 'good' work you do at the gym/whatever is eating up any muscular gains (assuming increased muscle mass is what you're aiming for?). There is the option of 'weight gainers' but you have to check the labels very carefully and monitor your BG's as they caused massive spikes in my levels when I started taking them. There are some good ones out there though. I've been through this process myself as I too was bordering on underweight at 19 but after years of reading and trial and error managed to achieve my weight gain goals. I'm also Type 1. [/QUOTE]
