How do i put a bit more weight on, but healthily?

Question

I am pretty slim, a size 10. i want to put a bit more meat on my bones (mainly to get a bit more of boobies!) but i want to do it healthily. i mean i could eat a load of crap but that would make me ill and tired! i heard carbohydrates, but it seems it all just goes straight to my stomach and bottom! it doesnt spread itself out and make everything look equal. in my job, i am on the move for hours, so i suppose the amount of food im eating is burning up and also the fat on my body. i am a pear shape, thanks. x

Answer 1

Okay I have your problem, and here is some serious answers that I have researched/been told. First of all, still eat healthy, dont stuff yourself silly, and do excercise.

Eat higher calorie fruits and veggies (bananas, carrots, apples basically any fruit and veggie that is not watery.

protein! Eat lean meat, eat peanutbutter, ask your doctor about taking some protein powder, my doc prescribed me some to take, and it actually doesn't taste to bad.

Eat healthy high calorie foods like nuts, legumes, wheat crackers.

Never be plain. Top your toast with maregines made with healthy fats, peanut butter, jelly. add cheese to your scrambled eggs. This will add calories without filling you up. Cook with healthy olive oil and sprinkle it on your saled, add eggs, crackers and other filling stuff to your salads. fill omelets with cheese and veggies. Order creamy soups.

Swich to whole grains, there healthier and more calorie dense. Eat complex carbohydrates, not loads of sugar.

Eat 3 meals and at least 3 snacks.

here are some healthy high calorie snack ideas.

1. plain full fat yogurt and frozen berries blended together and some peanuts mixed, makes a great dip.

2. Cheesy garlic bread made with whole wheat bread.

3.peanut butter on toast with bananas washed down with full fat milk.

4.whole wheat blueberry muffins, or pancakes

5. Pasta!

6. homemade pizza.


Now, If you wanna gain weight but still be healthy do weight training and resistance excercises. Do crunches, and buy hand and ankle weights, and use them. And jump rope too, or swim.remember muscle ways more than fat!

Answer 2

In addition to your normal diet, have some extra protein (tuna / chicken / eggs) and work on your pectoral muscles. This won't actually make your boobs grow, but will increase the muscle behind them, pushing them out a bit more.
Look at some bodybuilding sites for pectoral exercises, but the basic ones are bench press (hands wide apart) and flyes (arms stretched out to the sides and bring them together in front, keeping them straight - this is done on your back holding dumbells)
To build muscle mass, you should use the heaviest weight you can safely handle and do just a few reps. On your lower half, you should do loads and loads of light exercise to burn off any fat and tone muscle.
After a while, your top half should bulk up and your botom half slim down so they match.
I bet you're a stunner anyway!

Answer 3

Hey, Im sort of the same. I'd suggest doing some weights and building up your muscles, giving you a good shape and putting some more meat on your bones. If you want to increase your chest maybe do some bench press and other chest excercises like flies and incline - they will build up your pectorial muscles.
Don't eat rubbish - they will make your fatter which you don't want. Eat what you are eating now and maybe eat more protein to build up your muscles.

Answer 4

The proteins and carbs will burn off as you work but the rest will be stored wherever you body wants to put it. Unfortunately you can't choose where the weight goes on. (Unless you wear tight jeans and loose tops). A healthy balanced diet it the way to go, just eat a little more that you would normally.

Answer 5

Contrary to popular belief, you are capable of gaining weight (healthy weight) through exercise.

the defining factor is what kind of exercise.

To gain weight and to build muscular size or strength, you must exercise and perform that which you are not already capable of doing. You must attempt the momentarily impossible. Such attempts should involve maximum efforts against resistance. Do exercises that are progressively stressful or resistant.

- Many women wrongly object to their doing exercise when they contend, "I don't want large muscles. I don't want to look like a man." Women generally cannot develop large muscles under any circumstances. Only those persons who have long muscle bellies and short tendon attachments can build large muscles. Women generally do not have these. Women are limited in muscular size and strength by their hormones.

To gain weight, do as little aerobic exercises as you can. Aerobic exercises (with oxygen), do not put on muscle and therefore prevent you from gaining weight. Aerobic exercise helps you gain endurance, not muscular development.

Aerobic exercises are light exercises such as: long distance cycling, long distance rowing, long distance running, long distance swimming, ballroom dancing, tap dancing, walking, jogging, cross-country skiing, calisthenics, etc..

To gain weight and develop muscles, do anaerobic exercises (not using oxygen, without oxygen).

Anaerobic exercises are sprinting, running up stairs rapidly, jumping high, long and vertically with intensity, rapid cycling, rapid rowing, rapid swimming, weight throwing, weight lifting with low repetitions, hand balancing, gymnastics, chins, parallel bar dips, roman rings, rope climbing, tubing, bands, pulleys, wrestling and martial arts.

not only will you have the ability to gain weight, but also develop a well defined body that is not only healthy looking but extreemly attractive with an increased self esteem.

hope this helps,

Answer 6

Basically a calorie is a calorie. To gain weight you need to add in 3,500 extra calories per pound. It's not going to matter what type of food they come from-but you are right in that eating junk food would make you feel awful. So, add in extra calories through things like peanut butter, cheese, adding milk to things when you are cooking them (oatmeal, etc.). Also, drinking liquid calories (healthy ones like juice, etc.) helps a lot.
Good luck!
