Answer 1

You must consume more calories than you burn in a day. Remember to eat healthy. Not mcdonalds and fast food because thats very unhealthy and won't make you gain weight. I too have the same exact problem sista! I eat and eat and can't gain weight. I went to my doctor and he said I should eat more meat products becuase they have lots of protien to make you gain weight. I am currently doing that. Also try taking the boost shakes. The chocolate ones taste good. Oh yeah and try eating ice cream everyday. It is very fattening. I always add milk and just stirr it up so it becomes like a milkshake. Very tastey and it makes you get some junk in your truck lol! Bread products too are very fattening. Eat lots of bread each day and that could also help. Penut butter also has lots of protien in it. I sometimes just eat a few teaspoons of it in a day and it tastes pretty good. Lots of pasta is also a good trick to gaining weight. Lastly, make sure you excercise eg. running. Its like my doctor says, muscle weighs more than fat! Good luck on gaining weight. These tips should work because I too am batteling to gain weight and they seem to be helping me! So good luck again! Let me no if this helps!

Answer 2

I used to be the exact same way all the way through my mid 20s and then I started finally gaining weight. I do drink slim fast, but not neccsarily to replace a meal, but to get the extra calories. I'd try that if I were you. hatever anyone tells you, don't become a couch potato. Yeah it may help you gain weight, but it will be a very unhealthy weight gain. Don't exercise to lose weight either, do more strength building and muscle building (remeber muscle weighs more than fat too) than weight loss.

Answer 3

You can increase your protein intake and start doing some weight bearing exercises. You won't blow up like a weight lifter, trust me. I used to do 5 days a week, 2hrs a night weight lifting for 5 years and I was never big and muscular but I was trim and had very nice legs! Also, muscle weighs more than fat so it will put some weight on you to increase your muscle mass.

Answer 4

Hi

Im skinny too im a size 0 but eat loads... i was trying to put on weight. Ive been doing little things. Dont just pig out on junk food as thats not healthy... still eat 3 healthy meals a day. Lots of pasta and rice, meat etc

I buy snack size chocolate bars and eat a few every few hours as a little snack. I have 3 meals a day and just put more on my plate than normall and try to finish it all.

Its not loads... but it will help.

good luck x

Answer 5

Try to see if there are any weight gain bars at a local grocery store and then if u use those, use those for a short period of time so you don't become 2 fat

Answer 7

I'm also skinny (naturally) and i'm trying to gain weight. I think the best thing is to eat healthy, balanced meals. Don't be afraid to exercise either, you don't want the bad fat. Exercising will keep you in shape and healthy.
