i mean, just pack foods like that on and on. u'll gain so much weight, i promise.

i used to eat these protein bars whenever my coach wants me to gain a couple of pounds. so yeah.

Answer 2

I was gonna say, if you were a girl with those stats, you don't need to gain any. But for a guy, you're a little slim. I find that drinking a half gallon of good old fashioned grade A pastuerized homogenized vitamin D whole milk per day really packs on the pounds. Side effect: all the hair on your body is gonna grow like crazy too.

Answer 3

Eat. haha. No, seriously, if you want to gain some weight without unhealthy habits, eat a lot of protein and try to do some exercises that will help you gain body tone. A lot of people associate exercising with losing weight, but good intake of protein and exercising will give you some healthy weight (muscle).

Answer 4

Depends on if you want fat weight or muscle weight. If you want fat weight, eat a lot of snack foods with high fructose corn syrup as the sweetener, white breads, and lots of high calories from fat fat fat. Live at McDonalds if you don't cook. You'll get fat and sick, and eventually die from heart problems if not cancer too.

If you want lean muscle and be strong and healthy, eat protein rich foods, low in fats (you need some fats for vitamin processing), low in sugars, eat plenty of good carbs (like in whole wheat breads and whole wheat pastas), omega-fatty acids like in fish, and get yourself a good workout routine, and stick to it. You need a lot of calories to stay active and burn fuel to build muscle weight, and need plenty nutrition and fluids too to keep you hydrated during and after workouts, and on top of that plenty of rest. Sleep 8 hours a day, because that's when your body really makes the muscle.
