But with my metabolism, gaining that muscle mass is tough, and I'm not quite the size I'm looking to get to. I'm trying these protein supplements that are aimed at mass gain, with about 800-1000 calories/serving when mixed in a glass of milk. Also am eating plenty of natural proteins in ham, chicken, beef etc, but bulking up is difficult. Any tips from those who've found some success in doing this? Would be interested to hear from others.

Im in that same high metabolism group but after two years am finally seeing some big gains. Stay away from cardio and focus on weights. Eat small portions throughout the day and make sure you are never starving. Your body needs protein for proper brain function, nervous system etc. if it can't get it from food it will get it from your existing muscle. Remeber balance, proper sleep, nutrition and above all stay away from a stressful lifestyle.
