Foods i should eat to gain weigh?

any bodybuilders out there that would like to give me tips on gaining some weigh and muscle mass. because what i am doing is obvious not working very well. I am 5'8 and weigh about 145lbs. I eat at least 5 meals a day and workout on a regular basis which consists of protein shakes too. But i am still rather thin so any tips out there =)? thanks.

It depends on how you workout. Make sure your doing all of your exercises with 3-4 sets or 6-8 reps. You know, like squatting, bench pressing and such. And don't workout everyday or work the same body part on two consecutive days. Muscles need time to rest and recover.

Also eat a high carb meal like pasta or a bagel an hour before you workout to give you the energy you need.

Make sure you're eating correctly, too. Don't think you'll gain a bunch of weight eating unhealthy, fatty things. Eat about 3000-3500cals per day with most of them (60%) coming from carbs like whole-grain products. Make sure you down about 100 grams of protein per day. And make sure your fats consist of unsaturated fats and have no saturated fats, or trans fats. Keep it down on the cholesterol and sodium as well.

Being a weight-lifter, something I've been considering buying is L-Glutamine. I heard it raises you Human Growth Hormone levels a good 300% or so. People with low Human Growth Hormone levels are usually skinny, so look into that.

Drink water, too! It's so important to drink a good 10+ cups of water especially if you are on a higher protein diet. It relieves stress on your kidneys that the extra protein puts on them. It also supports in every bodily function.
