I swear, I'm about to go on a big mac diet. I've been eating surplus cals, and doing at least 1 gram of protein/lb of body weight/day and I'm about the same weight as when I started. :

Granted, I've put some size on my arms. But for what I've put in , I really should have gained some weight by now.

Mickey d's here I come!!!! THAT will put some size on, for sure!!!!

Just keep at it man. It can be frustrating to have such slow gains, but it is better to have slow quality gains than to gain while putting on alot of fat that you have to get rid of layer.

How long have you been going for? 1 gram per pound of body weight isn't all that much. How much do you weigh? Like Bolt said you have to be consistent. This isn't a sprint and never should be.

Yea i would like to see what your diet looks like now, but some other ideas could be to add just a little more to your daily amount, or maybe play around with the macros to see if you respond better to different macro breakdowns.

Don't eat mc donalds,they have trans fat in everything.BK,sonic,jack in the box,whataburger,wendy's,weinersnitzel,taco bell,taco bueno,kfc.......anything but mc donalds.Obviously don't eat fast food all the time,but every now and then sounds like it would be fine for you.

Come on ninja, you can do it! Carb up in the AM and post workout, protien all day, little fat here and there all day, evoo before bed.

Yes!Usually trans fat is found in deep fried foods cause it's in the oil.Mc donalds has it in everything.Even burgers and mcmuffins.Just check the wrapper or go online.Research trans fat too if you don't know exactly what it is.Tostinos pizza and other frozen foods have it too.I'm guessing thats where the trans fat comes from at mcdonalds,is the frozen meat.KFC used to have it,but they removed it,and you can't tell the difference.Some states have outlawed trans fat,i think NY,but not positive.So that Mc Donalds doesn't have it,or it goes into affect 2011 or something,to give them time to get the taste right(as you can see,i'm not for sure).KFC did it just fine though.They were also being sued for not telling it was in their though.Thats also a law all around that trans fat has to be listed.(this should give you an idea of how bad it is)

[iDShaDoW]

I see. I think my co-worker had mentioned that Maryland has banned trans fats cause I had made some comment about the Big Mac I was eating not tasting all that good.

Not sure if Virginia has that law but I mainly eat McDonald's when I'm at work.

Gonna have to look into that.
