ok basically,i'm too thin right now and i need to build up more meat on my body and arms and such
the thing is when i eat none of the meat seems to be goin to my arms or body and only my stomach,what should i do to or eat to make my body mass bigger as an overall?
like how many times a day,what time,what food,any extra stuff?
So, start going to the gym. As an intro a full body workout done three times a week should be quite good. For optimal mass and strength gain focus on big compound moves (e.g. squats, deadlifts, bench press, military press, etc). Thats the ticket also to functional strength, i.e. strength you can really use for something.
Now I could make you a sample program or link you to one if you like. If so, just drop a note in my inbox.
Onto food. Needless to say you need a calorie surplus. With weight lifting that means that more of it will go into the areas you want (without it the body stores it as fat and for men thats most often the gut). However, in order to minimise the amount turned into fat you still need to eat fairly clean.
So, eat frequently, about every 3 hours or so. Each time eat a balanced meal containing a fair amount of protein and carbs, and a small amount of non saturated fat.
Things like tuna, chicken, turkey, lean meats, eggs (in moderation), whole wheat bread, rice, pasta, oats, grains, vegetables, fruit, etc, are great. Essential fats from fish, nuts, and good oils must also be taken daily.
Bulking is not a liscence to pig out on chips, soda and pizza for example.
Also supplement with protein shakes after workouts (whey in water is best) and take a good daily vitamin pill.
Finally you also need plenty of rest since that is when you actually grow, not at the gym. You should have more than 8 hours of sleep every night.
