why can't I gain weight?


Question:
I am a high school football player and I eat lots of protein and drink lots of protein shakes. I work out regularly and run a lot at practice. Why can't I gain any weight?

Answers:
You should take in about 40 grams of Protein every 3 or 4 hours. Don't forget to eat veggies! A good way to space out your meals to compensate for your metabolism is to use your hand to measure your serving of protein, fat and carb. position your hand in a cuped manor or what fits in the palm of your hand is considered a serving. Your body needs to have these meals spread out over a 24 hour period. Protein shakes work best as a last meal (just before bed) Because it is liquid it is easier to digest.
Forget the shakes. Eat lots of real food that tastes good like red meat and potatos and fattening stuff like ice cream for desert. It really works.
