How to gain weight on a limited budget?
Posted on | August 1, 2010 |
Hello,
I am a male college student and I am 6′2 and only weigh 140 lbs. I want to gain a lot more weight and muscle - but being a college student I don’t have a ton of money to be eating foods like fish, poultry and meats every day multiple times per day. I would love some incite and opinions.
Thank you!

Drink whole milk and eat bananas. Kevin Costner did that to gain 20 pounds for a movie. Billy Bob Thornton says when he has to gain he eats bread, pasta, and drinks whole milk and cheese.

I’m sure that they have ensure in powder form so that you can get twice the shakes for half the price =D

muscle weighs more than fat
you would just have to work on putting on muscle,
i wouldn’t opp for those supplements because they are generally not great for you. eat healthy and gain muscle.

If you are having trouble gaining weight and muscle mass, I know how you feel because I actually had the same problem. I’m 24 and I still have trouble gaining weight. I work out all the time to gain muscle mass, but my natural metabolism is so high that it is hard for me to gain muscle mass. The solution to my problem was to take in about 6,000 calories a day, but to do that you would either have to eat very unhealthy foods or stuff yourself every time you eat healthy foods. That was getting way too expensive for me because I was eating about 5 huge meals a day which was costing me about $200 a week in groceries. I went to GNC to see if they had any solutions for me and they had a powder shake mix that has 2,000 calories a scoop and it was filled with vitamins and protein also. Perfect for weight gaining the healthy way. So instead of eating so much food and spending all that money at the grocery store I just buy a jug of Weight Gain powder at GNC about twice a month and I have seen phenomenal results. I have gained about 25lbs. of muscle since I started taking it. Just remember that when you are taking in that many calories it is essential that you keep a very vigorous workout routine, otherwise you are bound to put on a little chub.
Before I started taking the calorie supplement I was stuck at about 165 lbs. and spending way too much money on groceries with no results. When I got on the supplement it took me about 3 months to get up to around 190lbs. And with my workout routine it was all Muscle. I’m very happy with the results!
hope that helps!
