i meant after a workout my bad. i know enough about my metabolic rate to know i can go to a resteraunt down a steak and potaotes and everything else on the trim and a half hour be hungry again
I am surprised there are enough hours in the day for you. Especially with the amount of time you must spend drinking and peeing based on your liquid intake!!

i take a 30 ounce water bottle with me to school and i drink about 9 of those a day.
270 ounces is approximately 13.5 pints.

i only drink 1 protein shake after a workout none before or later on in the day. i go through 3 gallons of whole milk a week so that milk joke wasn't that funny taking that i drink about half a gallon of milk in a day.
4 pints of while milk a day.
Now your daily intake is 17.5 pints!!!! Assuming you sleep for 7 hours then you are drinking a pint every hour you are awake.

Cheese and bacon are exactly healthy foods.
I think you need to check into a "reality" clinic.
Then again this has been a greatly entertaining thread. I haven't laughed so much for ages.

Ok, enough crap.
If you are playing 3 hours of baseball a day and you want to gain muscle mass, consider investing in some anabolic steroids, because that is the only way you'll gain anything. If you want to gain lean mass, you must train specifically for it. You can't expect to do that much aerobic exercise and gain muscle. I believe you when you say you eat 6000 cals - if you are always running around on the diamond, you'd need it just to maintain.
No one in this thread is in a position to decide if 2400 cals is enough to gain muscle without knowing the lean mass of the individual. if a person weighs 112 lbs, and has a bf% of say 10, 2400 cals would usually be plenty for the average guy, if the right foods made up those cals. The key is to base your cals on your lean body mass (because this is the largest dicator of caloric burning), to get between 1 - 1.5 gram of protein a day per lb of bodyweight and to eat even sized meals every three hours (AT LEAST 6 meals a day). Best protein foods: chcken breast, turkey breast, tuna, salmon, eggs, cottage cheese (particluarly before bed), lean beef. Whole milk is full of sugar - most weight gained from milk will be fat (for most people). Stay away from bacon, duck, deli meat - its crap for protein and is full of fat. The single best source is Whey protein.
Carbs: a mixturre of starchy and fiberous. Limit the intake of fruit (fructose is a great ingreident for fat creation in the liver).
Fat: YOU MUST GET ENOUGH EFAs, preferably in the form of flaxseed oil, fish oil or raw nuts (walnuts are great).
Weight training must consist of mostly compound free weight and bodyweight exercises (machines should be used very sparingly). NO MORE than three workouts a week and only train a bodypart once per week.
Creatine does work, so if you can afford it, use it. If you have the money, it is worth supplementing with vitamin C, glutamine and calcium. A multivitamin is essential.
Now, the water. Water is possibly the most important ingredient, partly because most of our body is made up of it, but also the body conducts protein synthesis IN WATER, so without it, you ain't gaining anything. Also, increased protein assimilation puts stress on the kidneys, and water is required to dilute the waste product (ammonia) of protein breakdown. BUT, drinking lots of water without having your training and diet right won't do anything.
yea i do weight train also i just have a problem gaining weight because its so hard to take in enough food and do all of the active things but i do weight train 3 times a week. i know a lot about it my dad was a body builder and competative weight lifter. his junior high year he deadlifted 550 with a body weight of 150 lbs. then again he was fully mature at freshmen year hasn't grown since. i'm still growing.

Your other information is good.
Originally posted by kmac27You keep contradicting yourself. Earlier in this thread you said you work out 6 times a week, and do cardio every day. Which is it?

Originally posted by kmac27You cannot have a full aerobic schedule and expect to gain muscle mass (without steroids) - your results prove that. If your father knows anything about gaining muscle, he will tell you that. It is simple biochemistry.

If you are serious about gaining muscle, you must stop everything else - it is that simple.
The exception to all of this is the genetically gifted few , classified as mesomorphs. You sound like you are more of an ectomorph.
