I took an exercise physiology class where we had to track caloric intake and expenditure.
I too thought I was eating a lot but my 'super high metabolism' was keeping me from gaining weight.
My conclusion from a week of monitoring my diet and all physical activity was that although I consumed an average of 3100 calories a day. My caloric expenditure was approximately 3300 calories a day. Which explains why I wasn't gaining weight despite regular weight lifting.
In the end, I would suggest that if you aren't gaining weight. Try adding 500 calories a day for a 1-2lb a week mass gain. Remember to eat clean cals not empty cals and try to eat many smaller portions throughout the day rather than fewer big ones.
1100 calories in 1 weight gainer is a lot. I would break that thing into 2 meal replacements and try to eat 6 meals at 5-600 calories.
Just my opinion. Good luck.
