I have a new contract where I’m going up and down tall ladders all day long with a heavy tool belt on. I’m already a fairly lanky person, and the six months I have been doing this I have lost about 15 pounds of my muscle mass. I look scrawny as hell. I started going to the gym again and drinking mass gainer, but I can’t gain a pound because of my activity level at work. Anyone have any good strategies for gaining mass? I have a feeling most people are just going to say eat more but I already eat insane amounts of food it seems. I just have a super high metabolism. Looking for tricks or certain things that may help slow down my metabolism or help me gain faster than I’m losing

It is, and I'm not sure I could do it myself. I did start mixing my protein shakes with whole milk though, which upped the calories, and improved the flavor. Bulletproof coffee type shit works too, just a ton of extra calories, most of them fat instead of sugar.

Bottom line is you just need more calories, no matter where they come from.

I drank a half gallon to try to work up to a gallon, but holy god was my stomach messed up. Worse than ever in my life. I read they make some pill that helps break down milk for lactose intolerant people so I’m gonna try that

You might be better off with the candy. Or just a lot more food if you can afford it.
