@cokefiend That's funny I'm 6'3" 210 prolly 16-18% bf trying to cut down to like 190-195 now. I was in your shoes a little over a year ago.
If I was trying to gain weight I'd eat a lot of starches, pastries, sugar, ice cream, and 2%-full fat dairy. Just be careful eating too much fat because an excess will make you fat. I'd aim for less than 75g. I took the bulk too far up to around 230lbs and my mom called me fat.

@onliest Hahahaha when mom is calling you fat you probably took it a little too far.
I'm consuming all of those things probably just not enough. I get a good amount of fat from dairy and can tell it directly translate's to fat on the body but I feel like it's a healthy fat.
My workout's are also pretty intensive I love sprinting, jumping, and basketball so those burn a ton of cal's.

@cokefiend I'm not touching whey anymore. I think brotein up to 1g/lb is a meme. Had much more success upping my carbs.
Second this! Eating over 200g of protein a day was wrecking my digestion and making me feel fat / full all the time. Been doing high carb low fat med protein lately and I feel like a superhuman. Ample protein is needed to put on some size but it’s not the end all be all
