Need Help Gaining!

[wildinthenorth]

Here's the "skinny", I am! I am 6 foot 3, and 165. I just recentley quit smoking, so I am planning to gain weight, but I want to get in shape at the same time.
Anyone have any good diet ideas or suggestions? I have been told to take dessicated liver tablets, but I need to work out. I bought a good weight bench and free weights, I have some idea what I am doing with lifting weights, but again any help or suggestions, would be appreciated.
By the way, I just had my BYI checked and it was 6%.

Thanks for the link, it answered a lot of questions! Does anyone know what a helathy weight is for a person who is 6 foot 3? I have a target weight of about 185.

200lbs and muscular is a decent weight for that height. I'm 5'9 and my target is 205.

healthy weight charts are a waste, esp. b/c they do not take into account the benefits of muscle mass. rough guidelines: if you can't see your ribs w/o sucking in, you're heavy enough. if you don't have anything hanging over your belt, you're not too heavy. in between are a variety of healthy builds.
