Why you are not getting bigger

I just noticed something wierd with my body is that i never gain wieght at all unless if go for a diet thats 2 grams of protien per body's wieght also iv been told that thats more than a humans body would ever require.
so what do u guys think is the cause that my body never gains wieght unless if i took 2 grams of protien per pound of bodys wieght and is there another way to gain weight rather than this like increasing my carb or fat intake for example.
By the way im 155 pounds and i would eat 340 grams of protien every day in order to gain wieght and that forces me to have a meal every 2 hours making in totall 9 meals per day.. i guess thats alot eh .

Depends on many factors.

Essentially, you need to be getting all the factors needed to support growth.
There is some genetic individuality.

Protein increases caloric excpenditure as do multiple meals at that interval.

Sounds to me that you are not eating the right foods.
If everything else were in order for you to grow, then you would need to meet your energy needs and supply just enough protien.

Look at my gaining mass thread.  Think about what you are doing for your overall diet.

Does that mean 2 grams is bad?  No.  There are a few people who are not efficient at using protein and so you ned to put more in to get growth.

It is much better if you fix your overall nutrient ratios, you can grow MUCH faster than chasing the protein intake.

I just returned hitting the gym from a lay off of 13 months. From 143 lbs, I'm now 154 lbs after 25 days of training. I gained 11 lbs of lean muscle and still gaining more. At 5'6", I weighed 176 lbs last year before laying off. I'm only a poor guy, my main sources of protein comes only from eggs(10-12 eggwhites), milk(2 glasses a day), amino acids. I haven't even tried any branded supplements for my protein source. But this month, I hope i will have my cheap whey powder and nitrix .

I believe that genetics is one major factor in bodybuilding, diet  and training comes second.

that makes me sick dude........

Genetics is just a platform.  We can manipulate nearly every expression of our genetics.

Don't sweat it boom.  I hope his gains continue.
After a long layoff, the body can quickly regain muscle, replenish carb stores in muscle and tissues such as the liver, which increases water stores and causes a fast increase on lean mass.
