I have a problem. Before last month, I was happy with my weight (140-145 lb) but now it has dropped to 132 lb, which is a little on the low side (not to mention my mother will go crazy if she hears this). I feel somewhat weaker than before, so I would like to gain a few pounds (preferably muscle). What kinds of exercises serve to gain muscle mass quickly? I am 5'9" tall and my body mass index is currently 19.2.
I am currently doing 15 mins of high-intensity interval bike training each morning (except on weekends) when I wake up, and weight training 3 times/week.
Currently my daily calorie intake is somewhere in the 1800-2000 range (lots of whole-grain foods with low sugar and fat content for breakfast and supper as welll as various vitamins and other supplements (see my regimen thread in the Supplements -> Personal Regimens forum), and "normal" dinner which my mother cooks (reasonably healthy food), as well as some fruit in between), and so far, I have been able to keep my weight stable, but as I said, it's starting to drop.
