Hmmm.. ok..
Well I can assume you are an ectomorph?
How about some more information- when you say you have been on a weight gain diet- can you explain what that is?
I will be honest - at your age, food is your best supplement. I would really stay away from other supps- you are still growing and you have testosterone cursing through your veins right now that no other supps are needed. I really think its probably diet related. Can you please give us some more detail.

OK-- could you lay out what 3200 calories looks like?
What foods?
How often did you eat?
How much water did you drink a day?
Were you taking a multivitamin?
Need some more info if you want guys and gals to give you advice.

check this thread out to get your calorie totals and what you should be eating daily. More calories in then expended and weight gain will occur theres not too many ways around it. If you eat too much you will gain weight.

i was wondering that as well winn..
nelZ like i said find out about how many cals your body needs to maintain on a tough day working out for your sports etc. Exceed that by at least 20% and you will put on weight its inevitable.
