First of i’m 17 yrs old and my current stats are about 5’7, 132 lbs…and i think about 12% Bf…i used to be a fat sack of crap about 165lbs and easily over 20% bf until i cleaned up my diet and excercised like mad.
The problem is now i can’t seem to gain any wieght back. I eat about 2900 cal a day in the form of clean food like oatmeal, tuna, cottage cheese, the occasional shake…ect, and try to stay away from the whole junk food and fast food thing.
I lift about 3 times a week and do Interval type cardio twice a week…i am about to start an Ian King program soon (the one in the book of muscle) and i am looking to also begin JB’s massive eating program…and i was wondering if i should be eating more…or cutting cardio altogether…ect…any help is greatly appreciated…thx
Welcome! The best thing I think you can do is learn, read this site as much you can but most importantly apply the knowledge to your training and eating. These are a couple of my favorites-

If I were you I’d be lifting at least 4, maybe 5 days a week. At your age, your test will allow you to lift harder without overtraining. I still lift 4 days a week and am thinking going back to a 5 day split. Your diet sounds clean especially since you said that you’ve lost weight, but if you aren’t gaining weight there is most likely only 2 reasons. You’re not working hard enough, or you aren’t eating enough.
thank for the quick replies…ya i think i’m gonna try a 4 day split and maybe cut back on the cardio a bit…also according to Massive eating i should be eating at least 3200 cals so i was definately undereating…i’ll be sure to keep tryin tho i know it wont happen overnight so i’ll just keep at it
