Diet: Some one who knows, help

There could be a number of reasons. He could be eating too frequently so that his metabolism is at a high, and so he should try to space out his meals a bit more. He could be skimping out on his meal before bedtime (take plenty of casein protein). It could be that he needs to eat more calories.

Do you honestly think that eating less is going to make him gain more weight? At the core, bulking is defined as taking in more calories than you put out.

Many will disagree with you, it isn't quite that simple.

Eating lots of simple carbs and saturated fats will promote more fat gains than muscle. You eat that junk, your blood sugar spikes way up, and you go into fat-production mode faster. High sugar, refined carb diets go to fat much easier.

Eating complex carbs keeps your blood sugar rates steady all day, and lean meats and quality fats (from nuts, unsaturated oils) will also keep the right kind of nutrients in your blood that preferentially go to muscle building, assumming you also are strength/resistance training.

You gain fat with either diet if you are eating much more calories than you burn, but there is a difference.

I'm not even getting into the health differences here.

it is when currently, 50% of his calories are coming from fat and 40% are coming from sugary carbs or whatever ridiculous split he is on. that's why the only weight he will gain is in his gut. it also doesn't look like he's getting any good fat other than what might be in his weight gainer. it's all saturated fat or fat from greasy meats. also, it looks like even when eating 5000 calories a day he's not getting enough protein because of the "dirty foods". not to mention his most important meal should be his post workout shake if he really wants to put on muscle. he's probably substituting muscle for fat.

so yes, if he ate less calories coming from clean foods, he would bulk faster than eating 17 egg mcmuffins and 12 glasses of whole chocolate milk per day.

not to mention you said dirty bulking would be "healthier" than eating clean foods. which is just wrong no matter how fast your metabolism is.


Drafty: are you doing a lot of cardio work as well? because if you are, you should just eat healthier and cut out the cardio.
 
This is false. Dirty bulking can actually be a LOT healthier for someone with a fast metabolism. Eating dirty foods makes bulking go by much faster, meaning you can start cutting and doing more cardio sooner.

No one said "eating less" but you.

The sources of food he's intaking are nothing but empty calories for him. He could intake just as many calories from sources with better nutrient profiles that his body would actually use. This would benefit him much better, not to mention actually work whereas this "dirty bulking" crap has already failed and continues to fail for people like this over and over more times than not.

Dirty bulking = dirty health, period.
 
It's about you metabolism, some people in general have a hard time gaining weight!
Stop the treadmill and running.
Lift heavy (but not more than you can handle.. go about 5 kilos over your usual weight, prep your body by broadering your shoulders and really work those pecs. by this you will start gaining those visible kilos/lbs)
Stop with the junk diet, that will only clogg your heart..
Eat lots of pasta/white bread/beans/white rice/fry in butter
Drink milk and only light softdrinks!! This is due to the azpartam that makes you crave more food again in no time, eat a BIG breakfast and a BIG dinner.
Have a snack before you go to bed.. keep of ALL deepfried stuff! it makes you slappy and will make your liver go bad, and then it'll take up less of all the good stuff in your food, and your training results will be crappy as hell!

No on the white bread. Use wheat bread. Ever hear the quote, "the whiter the bread the sooner you're dead"? No on the white rice as well. Use brown rice. Personally I wouldn't be frying things either.
