Gaining Weight

Personally I have always had an issue with gaining weight. Ever since I could walk I was always involved in sports and very active. I have always had the taller leaner athletic body, but after high school, wanted to start putting on more size. I found this to be very difficult. It felt like I could eat anything and everything and not gain a single pound. Has this happened to any of you? If it has and you found a good solution feel free to leave a comment.
Just now after about four years of trying to put on weight here and there I have started to have a little success with the help of my roommate. I have found, that two weight gainer shakes a day ( one in the morning and one after you workout ) is one step. Beyond that, it is mostly about what you eat. I used to just eat a lot and not really think about what was good to eat. I would go out to restaurants or eat a lot of fast food thinking that maybe fattier foods would help. That is not the case.
Eating healthier foods was definitely the trick. I started eating a lot more fruits and vegetables. Also, instead of 3 big meals a day. I now have 6 meals of medium size. Basically I try and eat all day long. Being at college allows me to do this because I have a lot of free time to cook and plan my meals out. Try to always have one or two sides along with either your fish or chicken or steak. This will help add to your meal. Something very easy that is good for you that I always have for lunch as another side are Almonds. Good luck if you are trying to gain weight! Start eating healthier and more often!
