I've been working out awhile now 3 days a week doing mainly squats, deadlifts and bench. Recently, I have started drinking 2 protein shakes a day with oats and peanut butter mixed in and it adds to 83 grams of protein in one shake, and I have been eating alot too. I started out at about 6'0 163, and now I weigh about 172, sounds great right? But, I don't think any of this is muscle because my gut is bigger. I would like my weight gain to be muscle, but it just goes to my gut mostly. Could it be that I am getting too much protein from the shakes at one time, and I can't handle that much protein and that excess protein is going to my gut? I have never gained this much weight before and I have been around 160 to 165 since I was 17, so I think my metabolism might be slowing a little since I am 21 now.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Gaining weight, but it's just in the gut

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Check out the idiots guide to growth on here. Read it and read it again.
You need to be measuring your body fat and weighing yourself at regular intervals. Then you would know exactly what you're putting on.
I suspect you aren't lifting properly and that your diet isn't planned well enough.
Don't forget to REST - perhaps you're not allowing enough time for your muscles to recover/grow and so you're just putting on fat as you're obviously eating a lot.
You need to follow a program, un-changed and dedicate yourself to it.

I don't eat the same food everyday, but my diet looks something like this.
breakfeast- 2 pancakes and syrup or cereal and whole milk
meal 2- turkey sandwhich w/ salad dressing, tomatoe, pickles, lettuce 16 oz. whole milk
meal 3- chicken sandwhich w/ salad dressing and tomatoe 16 oz. whole milk
meal 4- protein shake w/ oats, peanut butter 16 oz. whole milk
workout then
after workout meal 5- protein shake w/ oats, peanut butter 16 oz whole milk
meal 6- spagetti or something like that
I'm not sure how many calories all that is or fat , protein or anything...I do know that the protein shake is 83 grams of protein

well the fat gain problem is obvious. Your diet needs work. The best thing you could do would be to take out the whole milk and add a 3serv protein shake in water in place of it.
The diet needs more work though, def not enough protein in there. I think your online now you could im right quick if you want some help. SN= CALLMESUPABOB

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
EFFORT, instead of while milk in my protein shakes, you say I should mix it with water instead right? And, what do you mean by 3 serv protein shake? 3 scoops instead of 2? Or 3 protein shakes a day? I actually have thought about getting some fat free milk to use instead though.
I would let the milk go man. In a month you'll notice a decrease in your body fat.
I meant to have a shake with 3 scoops of protein in it in water, in place of the milk. Your diet is rough though pm me and i'll help you with it.
