I only take 1 shake/day and it seems to be enough. Well, garbage was a strong word. I was just trying to avoid them because I can’t afford them and they taste like crap IMO. > [@I<3myHONDA;752295](#): > > Don’t worry about getting bulky, without even looking at you, your body type is more than likely an ectomorph with the dimensions u stated, you can probably eat anything you want and still maintain the weight. Your a hard gainer. You should lift atleast 4-5 days a week and like one-two body parts a day. Eating is also very important with your build in order to gain weight. You need to go on a high carb/high protein diet. This is just a little summary do some research on the internet, there are plenty of articles that will lead you in the right direction. Thanks for the input. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pittspeed-fitness-nutrition-thread-update/180728)._
