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

Every skinny guy thinks that. Track your calories consistently for 2 weeks with an app like myfitnesspal (free). You will first notice that you are not eating as much as you think. After a few weeks you will get a good idea of how many calories are in meals and can lay off using the app if you want.

Eat your tdee plus some like others have said. You will feel full at all times and get upset when you want to go to bed but have to finish another 300 calorie shake to hit your goal.
