Hm... work the legs, get big.

I completely forgot about that aspect. I put myself on a similar weight gain program last year and worked on legs twice a week and ate unlimited dorm food every 2 hours until I allmost puked, and that worked OK. Now this year I don't work out as much, and I never work the legs. I'm sure I've lost weight since last year, as I'm now 140 pounds at 5'8"", which I suppose is "normal" from a Body Mass Index perspective, but I'd really like to be at 150, which is where I was at the peak of last year.

I have the fastest metabolism of anyone I know. My friends are amazed that I can stuff myself with food, and then be starving 3 hours later. It really is a fight to stop from losing weight. Can anyone suggest some inexpenseive homemade concoctions that contain a ton of calories and protein?

If youre a hardgainer, you were working out too much. I assume you had to work out at least 4 times a week, to work legs twice. Hardgainers, should do little cardio, maybe 20 minutes a day to keep healthy, workout no more than 3 times a weak, and do low rep, lotsa rest, heavy, compound exercise. Good sources of high calorie/quick foods:
cottage cheese + natural peanut butter + plain old choco whey powder blend and drink.

DO NOT buy that bulk powder 10k calorie [censored], unless you are only going to drink it during/right after a workout. But even then i reommend surge from biotest. And the guy above was right, anyone with questions like this should ask at T-NATION.COM!!!!!!!!!!! best site ever.

Sounds like your body was coming back from a very bad place.

Yeah, my sophomore year of high school.

Being a new lifter and having the hormones and recovery ability of a 16-year-old definitely puts you at the top of the list for gaining muscle mass. Exceptional results still, and definitely far beyond most people with even a few more years on them.
