It is important to realize that anytime you are trying to gain muscular weight through increased calories you will also gain some extra fat. However, you should never let this be an excuse to allow yourself to get fat. If you find yourself eating more, but putting on fat instead of muscle, then in my opinion you are not training hard enough. It is my opinion that training harder/more frequently is one of the best ways to stimulate appetite for those that have trouble force feeding themselves.

Many people might think they are eating more, but in reality they will eat a large amount of food for a couple days and then the next few days their food intake drops again, so that over the week they end up not being in a caloric surplus. The best way to deal with this is to keep a food log.

I recommend everyone logs their meals in myfitnesspal at least for a week or 2 so they can get an understanding on the calories and macronutrient breakdown in different foods.
