Answer 1

I would say that you need about 4,000 calories a day. This might be hard for you, since you sound very small and your stomach might be small. I suggest adding high calorie but healthy foods to your diet that you would be able to consume in small amounts, such as peanut butter and healthy oils (olive oil, flax seed oil), just a tbsp. of each will give you at least 120 calories. Pair those with whole grain bread and that should be a good start. Another easy way to get healthy calories and healthy weight gain is to add high calorie formulas to your meals. Try "Carnation Instant Breakfast". Drink it with breakfast and there's an easy 500 calories! Drink at least 4 a day and that will definitely help.

Answer 2

2lbs? You are wondering how to gain 2 lbs? If you pay no attention to any caloric intake you are going to gain 2 lbs within a month or two anyway, you are 14. So eat healthy, keep up the exercise and dont worry about how to gain weight yet. Just have fun.

Answer 3

If you want to gain weight then swimming isn't going to do anything. you seem a little under weight! Try eating at least 2500 calories a day that's almost a pound! but make it helathy foods so you won't get sick!

Answer 4

A kid like you can eat 3000 calories a day. You burn them fast.

Answer 5

well since you swim so much,you burn a lot of calories.
try eating 3500ish claories a day.
you should hit 100 soon.

Answer 6
