give us some more details. What are your current stats? Exactly what exercises are you doing on which days and what does your diet look like. I could be wrong but it doesnt sound like you have anything very structured. Post these details so we can take a closer look
well it might be cuz i only go to my trainer twice a week....but umm im pretty skinny only 125.....usually have cereal for breakfast...then a sandwhich for lunch....then ill usually eat some eggs ....then for diiner i usually have chicken....then i have a protein shake/bar before i go to bed. my trainer puts me through lots of leg excercises (squats, hamstring curls, leg extensions, leg press ..etc) then works on chest area (different variations of push ups, chest fly ithink its called) and different things for triceps and shoulder areas. then we do abs at the end.....its a well rounded program maybe its cuz its only 2 days a week?
sounds like you probably arent eating enough. Have you bothered to calulate how many calories you are eating in a day?
And you should definately try to make it to the gym 3 times a week if you are doing a full body workout

What's your age, weight, height? How active would you say you are in a day?
i would say you should be doing anywhere between 2700-3000 calories.
anywhere between 1 to 1.5g per lb of body weight. so a minimum of 127g
