Hi,
I am not completely new to the gym, but am new to building muscle mass. I have a small frame and never weigh more than 165lbs. I currently weigh 143lb. I lost 11 over a three month period. I went from 14% body fat to 5.7%. It is great, but I'm too skinny. I did not necessarily need to lose weight, just the fat. I cannot seem to consume enough calories, even with gainers and shakes. I try and raise my calorie limits to 2500+ - but feel like I can't consume any more food... I feel like i will pop. So I am not sure how to consume more calories. With going to the gym and doing cardio, I burn more calories with the cardio and circuits. I know I'm needing a different approach. I need some advice both in exercise / body building and nutrition.
Any steer on the right direction would be appreciated.
Thank you.
