Great start, man!
If you’re a hard gainer don’t stop at “my metabolism.” You have to make a dramatic change to the way you eat in order to create dramatic change to your body.
Take a good look at your nutrition, regulate and increase your eating (particular emphasis on protein), and keep track of your numbers in the gym. You’ll get there, but you’re at least 6 months to a year of hard work away from the bulk you’re looking for.
But don’t let that discourage you! It’s about the journey. Not the destination. You’re healthy and that’s the most important thing.

You will.
The most practical advice I can give anyone though, and I want you to take this to heart... if you don’t have a gym partner already: get one! @SW-User

If you want a lean shredded look, then great. If you want to bulk up and reach bear mode, then eat more. 1g/lb of bodyweight for protein, and full in the rest with carbs and fat. Calorie calculator for daily consumption
Are you lifting for strength or hypertrophy?

SW-User
@BeefySenpie don't wanna bulk up much. Just a little more. I'd like some flexibility in myself so 'no' to too much bulking.
Primarily strength but hypertrophy too, looks good

I have the same issue, but when I increased the amount of calories I took between breakfast, gym and lunch it kinda fixed it

SW-User
@Nanori what did you specifically eat to increase the calories in your diet?
Nanori · F
@SW-User breakfast was oatmeal+milk+honey+chocolate powder plus an egg or two
Then for gym I'd take a bottle of smoothie: banana+milk+egg+powdered oatmeal sprout+peanut+peanut butter+honey
Right after gym I'd eat about 10 dates with tahini. It was an easy 1k calorie
Then a small potato with some Lentils
And finally lunch
And then I managed to not be underwight 👀

@Nanori well that was descriptive, thanks. Add or subtract a thing or two and the diet is the same for me.
Not sure if I'd call myself underweight but bulking would be nice. 👍

To bulk up once you've trained you need to put high amount of carbs in your system. Somebody I knew would eat a plate of potatoes 5 times a day. He bulked up very quickly.

I can't bulk up either I just gave up on it and accepted the fact I'll always be skinny

SW-User
@Ragnarock1276 eating before working out? Not sure if that's a good idea..is it?
Not sure if I can consume that amount of milk and eggs at the same time but I'll try to increase the intake.
What's a whopper by the way?

@SW-User 1/4 pound hamburger with a salad on it from Burger King.

SW-User
You’re doing it backwards. First you bulk up,then you shred

SW-User
@SW-User it went quite well for a while. I bulked up a little and shredded at the same time. But now, it's getting difficult to gain more.

Increase your caloric intake.

SW-User
@CdAshley done that already. You got any thing specific?
YMITheWayIM · 46-50, M
How old are you? If you may share.

SW-User
@YMITheWayIM I'm 20 if that helps.
