Dude, i'm really skinny.
How do i gain weight? I tried eating a lot .. and i dont even gain weight. i got tired of it.
My arms are like twigs.
Whenever i go out, i feel very self-conscious about my weight.
I dont look meaty at all, just a piece of twig.
therefore, i wear clothes tha doesnt show any of my body parts.
i dont even wear short clothes anymore.
the first thing that people think is that i'm skinny with chubby cheeks.
and my friends said, " dam steven, you're skinny!"

Do a lot of push ups and eat those powerbars, Those are perfect when working out, because it sounds like you dont have anything to burn

NO do the powerbars seriously, This is what all the wrestlers do, and then they work out like mad and eat more powerbars and drink water.

I expect that he wants to remain alive...

I mean... I guess you can get fat from eating McDonalds... no doubt... But you'll also die from a heart attack if you eat too much.

My advice... Avoid Fatty Foods as much as you can.

Just eat a lot of healthy foods... And also a lot of dairy... which isn't the best for you, but it's a waay better way to gain weight than eating McDonalds.

Either exercise a whole hell of a lot, or barely exercise at all.

If you're going for a more muscular bodytype, then exercise a lot.
If you're going for a more average bodytype, then move less.

So pretty much, it all comes down to this...

Eat More Calories Than You Burn Off _smile.gif

i dont even workout. LOL.

i just want an average bodytype.

Lol, good. Average is more attractive than Mr. Muscleman. *shudders*
Not that that matters...

Anyhow, Yeah, just eat healthy, but eat a LOT. Consume tons of Calories without consuming escessive amounts of Cholesterol, fat, or sugar.

Eat more calories than you burn off, pretty much.

Take protein shakes and lift.

eat more calories then you can burn in a day. dont eat 3 full meals a day. break it into 6 small meals a day. lift weights because if you dont everything that u gain is fat not muscles. you can also take supplements such as creatin or whey protein.

anyway, i'm the same way...only i'm a girl. but yeah eating fatty foods doesn't help, it just makes you unhealthy. i'd say the only way to go is to work out and build some muscle...it's healthy and you'll gain a little bulk...just don't become a body builder pinch.gif
AngryBaby
take creatine :)
KUBANO
drink lots of beer you need a gram of protein per lb per day double that and you should start gaining weight also beef jerky is packed with protein or just buy a big bag of whey protein im 5'8 and 160 lbs this shits straight up steel wrapped in leather baby try it

creatine puts water in your muscle its pointless unless your on whey protein and amino acids and all that good shit my friends a personal trainer so he pretty much taught me what i know about weight gaining,training and lifting
AngryBaby
i was just messin with em' lol

just put in enough nutrients into ur body to sustain growth.

In order to gain quality weight you should be eating above your maintenance level. you gotta be eating at least 2,500 to 3,000 calories per day, if not more, to gain quality weight. It's as simple as that.

If you simply change your eating habits around a little, I'll bet you that you'll start to grow and that you'll start to see the results immediately.



Use these tips for optimum nutrition for your weight gain stuff:

1. Cut out the junk food


2. Drink enough clean water


3. Eat a variety of foods


4. Consume the necessary protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals


5. Consume salt in moderation



6. Eat foods that are high in complex carbohydrates and fibre


7. Take some quality nutritional supplements


It is very important to understand that the human body is constantly working using and storing energy day and night. It is also very important to understand that in order to keep the machine rolling, you need a to know what and how much to feed it.

How much do you feed your body?

and get plenty of rest fool, body mass doesnt gain during the day, it gains during rest wink.gif so make sure you give it plenty of time.

Just admit you have an eating disorder. tongue.gif
Something Vague
I'm a 'recovering' anoretic (70lb) trying to gain weight myself.
I can totally relate to what you're saying.
Kathleen. Please shut up.
To be underweight doesn't neccesarily mean 'you have an eating disorder'.
Some people are just like that. No matter how much they scoff themselfs with food.
This is why I'm having a hard time trying to gain, myself.

Please ignore the 'exercise is the way to go' comments.
No it isn't.

Here are a few ways I learnt to eat whilst in hospital [urgh, yes. lol]

- Eat regularly! you must have 3 large meals a day.
- have little snacks in between meal times.
- If you drink skimmed, or semi-skimmed milk. Stop. Change to WHOLE milk.
- Keep away from the non caloric beverages.
(Swap your tea, coffee, or diet soda for milk, 'shakes, Smoothies...etc.)
- Keep eating bread, and or toast. But add extras, like peanut butter.

My breakfasts at hospital concisted:
- 1 of these rather disgusting milkshakes.
- 1 cup of fresh orange juice.
- 1 bowl of cereal (with whole milk)
- Fruit.
- And toast, with peanut butter, or jelly.

Pretty filling, eh?
Surprised I didn't turn out bulimic.

THREE LARGE MEALS A DAY DOESNT WORK

You're actually supposed to eat little meals ALL day (like 6 MEALS {little ones} all day)

That way its even, i read that in one of my dad's (who works for GNC) magazines

You need to work out too dude.
This Confession
Go to a gym...

Aparently Protien shakes work, if you really want to try them.

Doesn't eating small meals throughout the day make you lose weight? So you don't get hungry and binge?
Selv
Yea blink.gif
Why dont you eat 6 big meals?
