for gaining weight take muscle mass and cell mass. for protein get Myomax and go on cycles of creatine like N O explode. never work out the same muscles 2 days in a row except for abs, you can work out abs every single day of the week. drink Lots of water, eat regularly and you will be golden.
Only take protein/supplements if you are serious about working out and work out 5 or 6 out of 7 days of the week.
you can also take glutamine, which takes out the toxins that make your muscles burn, but you have to take it pre-work out then take creatine after working out.

I ride my bike 30min a day on the indoor trainer.
Switched my diet to get rid of high-fructose corn syrup and stopped drinking soda. Eat lots of protein, one of my favorite snacks is 16oz of lowfat cottage cheese with pear halves in it. TONS of protein. One serving of cottage cheese has 27% of your daily protein needs. There's 4 servings in 16oz.
I still drink my coffee though I shouldn't.
That's how I stay in shape while working a night desk job. No I'm not gaining weight, but I'm staying strong and I have great cardio.

i get really hungry a lot, but i have a SLOW metabolism
Yeah, I usually run around 3 miles every other day, drink tons of water, and eat like 4/5 small meals but it seems that I just go back and forth between 185 and 200. I mean, im not really badly out of shape, but im not really where i want to be weight wise (160 -170)..
I also used to only eat like 1-2 meals a day.. mainly because I HATE eating before 12.. Now im sorta forcing myself to eat atleast some fruit or oatmeal or something so we'll see how that goes..

well i have my starting weight at 261 according to the doctor checkup i had yesterday, so i have roughly...40 lbs to lose? but im making mini-goals of 10 lb increments. im cutting out late-night eating, sodas, sweets and eating more protein and drinking lots more water. when i get back to school (Mon.) i plan to start biking 30 min. a day and 100 crunches. so we'll see how this works.
If you dont want to go to the gym, calisthenics are the way to go. Here's like what I did yesterday, my first workout in a LONG time...
Normal pushups x30
Normal pullups (palms away) x5
Flutter kicks x50
Widearm pushups x30
Widearm pullups x5
Leg lifts x25
Diamond pushups x10
Normal chinups (palms towards you) x5
Supine bicycles x50
Tricep pushups (with your hands about even with your suplex, the upper part of your arm is pretty much against your torso) x20
Widearm chinups x5
Scissor kicks x25
Ranger claps with some kinda weight, like maybe a heavy pair of boots or something... till you die
8-count body builders... till you die
Normal pushups till fail
Do s**t like that, with some heavy nutritional intake, say Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, with a short (like a mile) run and a couple exercises (say 3 sets of pushups) on Tue and Thur, take Sunday off. Then if that becomes too easy start increasing numbers of things and run distances.

No problem, you won't gain a ton of weight without some kind of protein supplement, but you will definitely get stronger and more defined as well as gain some weight. Listen to the other guys about protein and dietary supplements cause I personally dont do any of that. 
there is zero protien in strickly creatine and NO supplements. some supplements you can buy that have a small mix of them, but the 3 are completely different things. also if ur trying to gain weight and have a hard time of it, u cant workout that much.slowhatch said:
for the ppl who want to gain weight
here's what i can tell u from my classes(kinesiology major) and my friends who have been doin it longer.
eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours(6meals a day) must eat breakfast.keep your basic 3 main meals, and for your last meal eat right before you go to sleep(shake, malt, pbj) at 1st it will suck but ur stomach will stretch and u will begin to get hungry every 2 or so hours then u will be fine. work out everyother day, 3 days a week(MWF) . and if u really have trouble putting on weight, then no cardio. once u get to the weight u want u will have no problem getting ur abs back. protien shakes n all are fine, easy way to add more protien to ur diet, but use with meals not inplace of meals. for hardgainers, its gonna take time, u wont see 10 pounds a week, its not steriods. be happy with a solid 1-2 pounds a week and u wil get there
also low reps, high weight, no more then 3 sets for gaining weight.
hope that helps
