Not much muscle gain until you check where you are with calories...
Have you gained any weight in the last couple weeks?

At your stage I would say the minimum you should ingest is about 1700 calories.
Track what you are taking in for 3 days and see what the average is.

No more 3 workouts a week - go to 2.

Have you investigated any form of aerobic activity to do in the chair?

Can you do leg lifts as far as kicking legs out in front of you?
Can you do any toe raises on the foot platform of your chair?

I have used my Bowflex for about 8 months.

1.No weight gain.
2.I started eating more today.
3.Will I start to gain muscle only working 2 days a week?Why only 2?(just wondering)
3.I used to kick but it didn't seem to do any good.There is one leg exercise I can do on my Bowflex.I can move my legs,but not my feet.

Thank again for the help everyone.

I say two so that you know you have fully recovered.
Some folks can take 48-72 hours for their tissue to recover fully as well as their central nervous system.

Why not try this if you can do it...

Work chest, shoulders, triceps on day one...
Work back, biceps, legs on day two...
Skip day three and then do day one again, next day repeat day two.
Weekend off

See how this goes for a couple months and then you will have the diet nailed down and be able to switch the routine for more results.
