Don't eat too much protein all at once. Space it out throughout the day. Your body is only going to use so much of it at once

He's got it right. The body can only utilize about 50 grams of protein in one sitting...so anything over that will be a waste. Never go out and buy 60+ gram power bars or drinks. A total waste.

As for gaining weight and muscle, nutrition is a whopping 85% of your goal...no matter what your goal is. Since you are skinny, you need to take in more calories that you consume. That's it. No magic formula. The opposite goes for if you are trying to lose weight.

Get a gym membership and a personal trainer. A good trainer will assess your body weaknesses, strengthen any imbalances and help you with the range of motion for all exercises. All you really need is a set of dumbells from 5 lbs to 50 (for your situation) and you can work out literally every muscle in your body.

Most important thing ever that you should remember; it's not about how much you lift, it's how you lift. Posture and range of motion is one of the most important things in weightlifting. Also, don't work out too much...especially early off. Rest is just as important as working out. Your body needs time to recoup, 3 days a week is perfect for your situation.

I don't get the point of this. I mean, yeah people should try to be healthy, but it isn't like they're hurting anyone (other than themselves) by being fat, and of course insensitivity isn't a great way to approach it since I'm sure they get bullied enough for their weight as it is, while some people really do have glandular disorders or mental health issues that cause their current weight.

I mean, I'm healthy because I make a conscious effort to hit the gym and eat right, but not everyone can afford that, or has the genes to do it so easily, or the time. It's just a really weird and shallow thread I'm seeing.
