If you are not gaining at least 1-2 pounds per week, then add some extra carbohydrates and proteins to your breakfast, pre-workout meal or post-workout meal.
Progressive weight gain can be gotten from slowly introducing your body to an increase in calories. The easiest way to do this is by following the healthy meal plans provided, starting at 2000 and working your way up as you gain weight.

Principle 4: Eat more protein each meal
Proteins should make up at least 35% of your overall daily calorie intake. This translates to 40-60 grams of protein per meal for males less then 200 lbs and will be enough to maintain your appetite, increase your muscle mass, accelerate recovery and keep body fat levels low.
Proteins are the building blocks of life, without them you will not grow, its simple science and fact.
Principle 5: Eat your biggest meal at breakfast, post and pre workout
Think about it, your body needs food in the morning as it has been in starvation mode while you have been asleep and now needs food to function properly. Before your workout you need that extra energy for the workout. After your workout your muscles crave proteins and carbs as they would have become depleted during your workout.
These are just 5 simple principles that if followed will help you gain muscle and weight. combine a good nutrition program with a weightlifting workout and you will soon start gaining muscle mass.
