Alex [A] asked:
I’m 14, turning 15 soon, and I want to look and feel more muscular. I have a fast metabolism, which I heard makes muscle gain harder, but I try working out anyway. I need advice from someone who actually has this problem, and a solution. Can anyone please help me?

my boyfriend told me that rite after you eat a whole bunch just work out for about an hour.
and my boyfriend has a very fast metabolism but he has muscle and he gained muscle by doing this
Eat protein and lots of fruit and vegetables. Don’t be afraid of carbs, you need them, but do try to avoid greasy stuff and stimulants like caffeine. Just eat healthy and in large amounts (relatively).
Yeah, it is hard to build muscle with a fast metabolism, but there are ways around that problem.
If you have a gym at school then I recommend going about three times a week. There are some good training guides for sale online too for skinny men and women looking to build muscle (some are listed on this website:). They all come with workout and nutrition plans for people with a fast metabolism.
Certainly stay away from steroids! Especially at your age they will do a lot of damage.
Good Luck!
I use to weigh 182 after weighing 125 a really skinny boy, so what i did was upped my protein and carbs, . I’m 134 now but i have lots of lean muscle with a fast metabolism. I’m trying to gain weight, a good thing to do for you is to eat lots of carbs with a low gi, low gi means that the carbs won’t raise your sugar so high. multiply your weight times 20 for gaining weight and that’ll be the number of calories you should eat in a day. You can gain 1 to 2 pounds per week, anything over 2 is too much fat, try to drink a gallon of water a day because the water is what will give you the energy you need to gain weight. If you’re not gaining at least 1 pound per week then up your caloric intake by 500 calories.
