I know most people wanna lose weight, but when u're underweight u want the opposite. I'm in grad school, therefore crazy busy, not a whole lot of sleep during the week, so that doesn't help.... How do athletes do it... I'm a girl, by the way, and I don't have a lot of time to work out, but I do play basketball once a week. What should I do to increase my appetite? What about those protein drinks or something? I'm just tired of being so skinny, and I'm 5'9", and more food means more energy for me, which I need so bad. I just get full really fast. HELP me please!

Stay away from caffeine and energy drinks, they tend to supress ones appetite.
Try to snack/eat more throughout the day, whenever you get a chance. This way you consume more calories which will help with the weight gain.
Also, GNC has a great vitamin/supplement. My b/f has poor appetite, and they reccommended some supplements containg vitamin b and something else (sorry I can't recall). He definately gets hungrier when he takes them.

Drink 'ensure'.
it tastes great and has alot of vitamins so you are not gaining mcdonalds calories....
YOU will gain weight if you drink a mere 3 of them per day in addition to your other meals....
I believe three of them would equal about 800 calories...that in addition to your regular food should put about 2 or three pounds on you per week.
Dont gain too much weight at any one time so you dont have to go and change your wardrobe (as a college student this could be an expensive consequence of rapid weight gain)
Would kill to have YOUR problem again

Go yum yum yum. Eat bunchies of fatty foods and please don't do anything. Don't do the things people who WANT to lose wait do. Do the opposite. They excersize. You, don't excersize. They eat less. You eat MORE. When you shop, look at the fat contents. The bigger, the better AND TASTIER. Last year, I thought, hey i should have a job of trying to make people gain weight. Then my friend told me, you'd be out of a job. It made sense. Eat bunchies of chocolate energy bars tooo!!! occasionally, slip some butter in yur mac and cheese or your mash potatoes, get the fattest things you can find.

Have you tried the drink Ensure.
I know that it is given to patients in hospital, especially elderly who need to put on weight but are not able to eat very much food.
Remember that eating junk food may seem like a good way to put on weight but it is an unhealthy way, all those saturated fats etc. You want to put on healthy weight not put crap in your body that ruins your heart.

go to GNC and ask them for a supplement that will help you gain. Creatine is one that works very fast but you have to be sure to do a moderate amount of excercise so you keep the muscle toned. Short of that, there aren't really many LEGAL ways to increase appetite, you just have to help yourself along...GOOD LUCK!

Energy drinks and also energy bars high in carbs.
When you eat try to favor foods that are high in simple carbohidrates. Carbs or absorbed into the body very quickly and what is not used is stored. the more you eat the more you store.

Eat a lot of chocolate, you can eat a lot of it before you are full, it increases your calories too.
