Thanks for the support, but the main reason i'm mad, is that i weight 171 now, my target weight is 190. I'm trying to gain weight but lost it. Thats whats lame. I shoot for the moon but ended up in a ghetto back on earth.

I just bought a new cook book about high protein meals. I'm pumped. I like red meat.

Cookie, LOL.  Thats priceless.  I don't get a A, B+ and up. Pretty good i'd say.  I like the fact that I will look at something, and know that when i add it to this website and my girlfriend sees it (she is also on calorie count) she will yell and point out how much sodium and things of that nature it contains.

I never knew rice had that many calories, i knew it was alot but yesterday i ate 1200 calories in rice alone. That aint right.

Glutamine helps your body repair damaged muscles, which is what your body does after working out. Unless you have plateaued and need a jolt or have taken your body as far as you can without it, or you have money to burn and wan the most results you can get the fastest you can get them. You don't need it, in my opinion.

I'll play devil's advocate. There are a lot of supplements that are perfectly fine to use. They are out there to help people put on lean muscle mass, which is what your set out to do.

I went from 160 to 190 in the last 4 months of college, my list of supplements were: multivitamins, Omega 3,6,9; weight gainers, and creatine. I ate 5 full meals a day with 4 snacks in between. Worked out for 1 hour everyday, with 1 day a month off. I can understand where everyone comes from, but unless you can devote your entire day to eating and working out, things like weight gainers make progress so much easier. When I slowed my training stopped taking supplements, i dropped all my water weight, and fell to 175 in almost a month. Which is where I am today, there was no withdrawl or symptoms, I just lowered my calorie intake and lowered my activity level.

You want to gain 40-50 pounds in 6 months. Eat. Eat until your full, then eat until you can't.  I agree that all the calories you can get from whole foods you should. Train the most that you can, limiting your workouts to no more than 1.5 hours a day (more than that will waste your calories without showing gains) and limit your cardio to 1-2 a week. I'm not sure what your body makeup in, but at 130 pounds i doubt gaining fat will be a problem.

I would encourage you to invest in some weight gainer, and wouldn't worry about the rest. At the beginning, especially being 19 and full of testosterone, your going to gain alot of weight and mass quickly.

Good Luck
