Answer 1

i think am the right guy to talk to here !!! i always had your problem !!! the problem with gaining weight is you are not hungry at all and everyone is telling you eat to become fat !! but how can u eat when u wanna throw up !!! well my freind the answer is excercise !!!! u must think am crazy but .. if u excercise, u will think u r loosing weight, but actually if u did it right, u will be gaining.

after a run or a workout u will feel hungry and u will eat like a pig !!! try to eat high calory food like rice, pasta, honey, nuts, ice cream ...etc then try to eat lots of protein like eggs, meat, milk, fish ...etc alot of food is not very healthy but u skinny and there is no risk of a heart attack or anything, unless ofcourse u like swallow a jar of sugar !!!

the best way to become packed and healthy is to workout and eat loads of protein .. at the end u will be filled, stronge and good looking.

I had the same problem when I was a teenager. When i was 19 yrs old I was 6'1-118lbs and could not gain weight. The thing that finally worked for me was in addition to my usual meals during the day I would eat 4 peanut butter& jelly sandwiches with heavy peanut butter. Be careful what you wish for though cause im now 46 and about 10 lbs overweight. As you grow older and settle down youll gain weight- believe me!! The peanut butter does work and its very nutritious. GOOD LUCK! p.s. Dont eat all those sandwiches at one time.

Answer 4

I had a similiar problem being 21 5ft,9" and barely 120lbs basically eat plenty of protein based foods such as pasta fish etc basically a reverse of the atkins diet anything your not supposed to eat for that eat it to put it on controll it with regular excerise to build muscle and the protein will pad you out but dont over do it or you'll be 52" waist before you know it

Answer 5

There wouldn't be all these problems, if there is fast and easy way to loose weight, Just find a way to decrease your eating, for ex eat only once a day, with no snacks.

Answer 6

I need similar help.

I dont get fat or muscle whats going on!!!

Answer 7

Unfortunately some people just don't put on weight as easily as others, but eating high protein and high fat foods should help you bulk up. Do you eat much red meat? Don't forget to eat plenty of carbohydrates as well (pasta, bread, rice etc) when you don't have enough carbohydrates you start burning fat.

Answer 8

Hi, You should eat foods which are mainly in the carbohydrate catogory ie lots of pasta Potatoes bread etc and eat 3 good meals a day with lots of water too also lots of fruits contain a lot of natural sugars! try working out too down the gym as weight lifting will increase muscle mass. good luck

Answer 9

First things first; eat a healthy diet and get adequate exercise (even walking) to obtain and maintain proper muscle mass. Exercise makes existing muscle cells more massive (and stronger). Then add something to the diet such as honey and peanutbutter sandwiches to add more calories. Hopefully you will add weight through added muscle and perhaps fat where you need it. Be sure to get enough calcium (dairy products?) because it helps with healthy bones and regulates fat. Good luck.

So you are about 105 lbs Do'nt despair , have you tried "Weight-on" it is very powerful stuff. It is mixed in a glass of full fat milk and contains 500 calories, it put weight on my son who had been working in Kazakstan and could'nt get enough to eat.
