I'm 18 years old and i weigh about 115-118 pounds. I'm also 5 foot 6 inches. I'm really skinny and was wondering if anyone had a link to a site, or suggestions/plan to gain mass. I have a treadmill at home, but I dont' use it much because of fear of losing more weight.I hear that girls would think that i'm really cute... but way to skinny. HELP!!! I know most of America is overweight, but come on, get some systems for the small percentage of skinny Americans!!!

You are a teen. Many teenagers are very thin, but they put on weight automatically as they grow older. This is because teens have a very high metabolic rate and burn calories fast. So,you should not try to put on weight by eating fatty food, since it will be difficult for you to lose this fat later. Check this out http://www.toloseweight.org/gainweight.html

Take some protein. Go to any store and ask for protein powder. It is about 400-1000 calories a serving depends really on the brand and how much protein is present Read the labels and see how much you want 15-50 grams. Research first. For your case i don't think you have to even work out just take the stuff to add some weight and volume to your frame. Also eat in addition to

well, it's likely that ur metabolism in fast....in order to counter ur metabolism from eating up all the potential muscle gains, you are gon have to be right on top of it...6 meals a day with rich in protein and carbs..if you wanna become a beast, then you gotta act like a beast...start beasting those weights..then, when you get home, east like a beast...ur gonna wanna eat 6 meals a day...go to gnc and get a protein powder to help supplement protein intake..start taking in 115 grams of protein everyday..but make sure you are lifting so that ur body can make use of the nutrients..ur meals should always be balanced with protein and carbs..they those two nutrients work together in synergy...if you take one without the other, you are defeating the purpose...go to bodybuilding.com and do a search for all this..you should eventually find out what you want...

More calories and carbohydrates. PEANUT BUTTER is good, fruits, and breads and pastas. Eat more proportions during meals and try to fit a healthy snack in between.

Go to the gym, start a weight training program. Hire a trainer & nutritionist to get you started on the right track.

i can relate to ur prob, go to gnc and buy cytogainer, drink it twice a day but make sure you work out or ur gonna get flabby, i went from 125 to 155 in about 4 months of working out hard , screw the treadmill u dont need cardio as of now, u need protien so eat meat and other foods high in protien and dont forget to work out go lift!

soups can be both filling and comforting try making a garden or bean soup with low salt broth and store in portion sized cups for later
