Gaining weight is more than just eating a **** load of McDonalds and call it a meal, it is about portioning the right amount and balancing what's good from what's bad. Eating french fries will make you "big" in a bad way, not in a fit way. Do alot of cardio exercises and really make an effort to walk/run that extra mile and I suggest you use musco-max for building muscles fast. I've lifted for some years, and take muscomax with heavy weights and low reps.
