[QUOTE="toner29, post: 208416, member: 24815"] Hi, I used to have the same problem as you, I am 6ft 3 and 24 and upto about 12 months ago I weighed about 11 1/2 stone and felt really skinny. I started doing some weight training with a friend and increasing my food intake (especially protein). Yes protein doesnt always help with gaining weight, but if you are weight training it helps repair the muscles that you have broken down during training meaning you start to see real gains and you will definatley start filling out! Check this out and give it a go whilst increasing you protein intake - http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/ Also avoid regular cardio excersises as it will just burn off the muscle you have worked for. It sounds silly but weight training really gets your heart rate pumping anyway so you shouldnt need to be killing yourself with cardio as well. Hope this helps. Steve [/QUOTE]
