Filling out (Lightweight)

Thanks for the recommendations. It is actually gearing up towards the end of the season now, but this advice can be taken into next season. In terms of my body handling dairy, I actually have excema which actually gets a bit worse from dairy, but fuck it, it's a good form of protein so I keep drinking/eating it. We have one lift session a week, and I really wanted to try and fit in an extra session, but it was hard trying to find time with rowing and lots of school work, so I probably could have done that this season. The thing about putting on mass is that it took me a long time to put on the weight, and a very short amount of time to lose it again. I tried eating lots of english muffins with peanut butter on it and sliced bananas, as well as calorie dense things like chocolate milk and protein shakes, but I just felt like shit eating that much. I am lightly built, and it was a real struggle to keep the weight up. I guess the main point of the post was to see if it would get easier to maintain the weight, as I haven't really filled out yet.
