Hey /fit/
Don't know if I've ever posted on here before.. maybe.
Anyway, I've read the sticky, as well as everything else about gaining weight.
Quick background
>20 years old, 6'0" 165 lbs, in college
>Was 140 lbs a year and a half ago
>Was college cross country runner for a year, quit because zero gains
>Started lifting consistently about a year ago
>25 pounds of gains
But my problem is, I've been stuck at 165 for so long. And I know it's my metabolism. I know, "eat more calories than you burn and you'll gain weight."
I've calculated it out, most days am around 3,200-3,400 cals, hitting my macros too. But my metabolism is so fast, it's so hard to gain weight.
I don't do any cardio.
I even had an injury and sat around for 2 weeks, still eating around 3,000 cals, didn't gain a pound.
How do I slow down my metabolism? I'm already consuming as much food as I can force down, as well as supps, protein bars, etc. What do?

Take up drinking, beer has a lot of calories.

How do I get to 3600?
I already eat 4 big meals a day, plus protein shake after a workout, and usually a protein bar or meal supplement during class.
In addition to the fact that I'm at college, and already spend around $50 per day on food, so it'd have to be cheap.

I eat only 2600-2700, but I do so in 2 meals per day.
Definitely possible in 4, maybe just up your proportions or throw in some potatoes.

Out of curiosity, what do you eat in those two meals that equals 2600 cals?
