Sport Help, I cannot GAIN weight?!

[MarkMyWords]

Sounds like you don't take in a lot of calories and you may or may not have a high metabolism

Eat a lot of things like: brown rice, whole wheat bread, peanut butter, nuts, sweet potatoes, milk...all are healthy foods that are calorie dense

Count your calories and macros! If you aren't one of those people who just naturally eats the right amounts you have to count, there's no other way.

I have a high metabolism and I always post my fitday account when people think they are eating a lot. I'm currently maintaining:

Word. I couldn't agree more. It works both ways. Typically, when people want to lose weight but aren't tracking calories, they find that they are eating too much, and when people want to gain weight, they simply aren't eating enough. Keeping track of calories really gives you an idea of how energy works, and what foods pack a punch. Tracking cals is a must, if at least until you become familiar with the numbers and whatnot.

For example, I was shocked the first time I measured out 28 grams of peanut butter, which is 190 calories, it was barely anything! On the other hand, 2 heaping cups of carrots and cucumber is 50-60 calories...

Seems like common sense to some, but most have no idea what they are putting in their mouths...

I have been trying to eat more "unhealthy" food like candy bars, big macks, pizza, but i can't endulge myself in a ton of that. McDonalds maybe once a week and a slice of pizza here and there is as much I can do.

Do you think adding more beef to my diet can help? I love hamburgers and tacos and steak sandwiches, should I add more of that kind of stuff to my diet maybe like 5-6 times a week compared to 2-3? I normally prefer chicken also like chicken cutlets, grilled chicken, chicken teriyaki, turkey.

You need to figure out your calorie requirements. Then you need to figure out how many calories you're consuming on a weekly basis. And then you'll know how much you need to add into your dietary intake.
