So as of right now I am 135 pounds, and 6"1. I need to gain weight. I need ideas on protein or what to take. It has to be tasty haha. I need to know if I should just use ensure,boost, etc. Or start going with protein shakes. In November I was 195 lbs, and if you read my story you will see whats going on fully. I need to gain weight though.

Hey man first of all I'd recommend getting some actual help from sources other than doctors who are just going to push pills down your throat, you need to deal with your anxiety problems. I'd recommend meditation, a therapist and (I know I'm going to get shit for this one) weed can open up a lot of doors within the mind if used properly (as well as increase appetite and reduce nausea unless you blaze too much). as far as gaining weight goes man just grab some fucking food that has tons of calories. whole milk, NUTELLA sandwiches, beef cooked in butter/oil, adding olive/coconut oil is an easy way to add calories Etc. at 6 foot 1 135 lbs you must literally look like skeletor. good luck on your journey to recovering but you're going to need to get help bro

good advice and good examples imo.

ensure and boost are more nutritional shakes with a little protein, they're a really expensive form of multivitamins. i am not sure how the effects from drinking a nutritional shake differ from taking a multivitamin tablet, you might want to read up on it before spending the money.

every chocolate whey i've ever tried has tasted good when blended with whole milk, but i'm also not very picky when it comes to protein shakes. if taste is a big factor, definitely use milk over water. tastes like a chocolate milkshake. also will help a little bit in gaining weight.

i already know most here will simply say "eat big" or "eat more" or something similar, but let me ask a few questions. is eating healthy/clean a goal of yours? if it is, how do you feel about cooking? i have lots of recipes for healthy meals that are also tasty, there are also lots of websites dedicated to just that (here's one i picked up a few from: https://www.pinterest.com/explore/weight-gain-meals/)

also, how's your appetite? by your current height/weight i'm guessing it isn't so good atm. there are a ton of factors that can increase/decrease your appetite, especially certain medications (decrease), but physical activity is obviously another one to increase appetite. do work, and when you get hungry, remember to go big.

meal prepping, like making 5 tupperware meals in one day, is a great way to stay on track with your eating with minimal effort.

good luck in meeting your goals, dude!

Wow boys thanks for all the feedback. I have a friend bringing me a sample of mutant mass chocolate flavor protein powder later. I am going to try it.

To Wretch; Yeah I love to cook, but I don't have a shit ton of money Eating clean/healthy, not so much, but i Love fruits/veggies/meats. I eat candy and chips too, but lately I've been trying for healthier since I feel crappy. My appetite at the moment is horrible, I can only eat a few bites of anything, without feeling nauseous. I try and eat about 10-12 times a day, but nothing works.

To FXG; I know i have to deal with my anxiety, but I want to do that without medicine. Although it does n;t help my feeling of my stomach, it doesn't make it worse. Even when I was on medicine I still felt sick to my stomach, so I decided against it. Now whenever I feel extremely sick I start to panic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGQ2mxjkb2E I'd recommend watching this video and then just browsing through some of his videos.

head over to http://learning.tergar.org/ and create a free account to get the introduction to meditation lessons which is really all you'll need to get started.

as far as protein and weight gainers go, you don't need fancy mutant mass and all this shit cause it gets pricey and there's really no difference between that at walmart protein other than cool wording and shiny labels.

unless you're made of money just buy protein powder that you can stomach and make your own weight gainers shakes with whole milk, honey, protein, peanut butter/nutella, oats etc

Yeah I'll check him out tonight when I get home from work. Thanks for all the advice

Also if I smoke about 1 joint a weekend, what would the chances of it showing up in my piss? I have to take piss tests randomly where I work, so I don't know if weed will be a good thing. But I have considered it too see if it helps.

you smoke pot one time it's gonna be in your system for at least a week. You smoke pot every weekend for a month, it's gonna be in your piss for at least 3 weeks. You might have a fast metabolism since you're so damn skinny and flush it out faster, but technically it can stay in your piss for 3 months if you're a fat nigga who don't get off the couch.

get a prescription so they can't legally terminate you. Theres a story of a kid that self hit himself in the face. I'm talkin bout like blood and bruises and black eyes. Doctors tried everything. Nothing. One got him a prescription of medical marijuana. Gone. Only thing is there is a dependency potential if that even matters. cuz why not just do it all the time? except cost i guess. I personally don't smoke weed.
