A Nutritional Shake. Healthy calories (upto 450 per serving), combined with exercise you will gain more lean mass that just flubber.
I highly recommend USN supplements. The flavours are delicious.
Sounds like maybe you need to eat more too - I know its hard though cuz ur stomach is pretty small. I would suggest you go for the protein shakes and get an exercise plan in order.
Any holland and barret, or sport nutrition shop will give you great advise on which products to go for to help bulk you up - the supplements are not just for muscle heads, like many seem to think.
Also find some inspiration, someone with a physiche you would like - say a female tennis player. And keep that image in your head as you journey towards that goal.
Make notes on your weight the same time each week ( I weigh myself saturday mornings when I wake up) to see how you are progressing
Good luck, you've taken the first step in coming here are asking:)

I am tall and slender. I have not been working out lately (that's easy to do!) but when I do weight train for awhile I notice that I am able to put on the pounds. I can eat a lot and thought the problem was my metabolism, but I was able to really put down the food and show a difference after lifting weights. Try it ,you might surprise yourself.
One last thing. I also tried just drinking a lot of weight gainer and that just made my gut get bigger, so I wouldn't recommend that.

I would suggest trying to make sure you eat regularly, having a proper breakfast in the morning really does make a differance. I had similar problems and I still do in a way. Try to eat three good meals a day, eg. something like porridge in the morning if you like that, it works for me. Make sure you get enough meat as well, and eat loads of dairy products to help your bones. It can be a problem if you're a fussy eater but try different things and find out what you like so that you can build up a list of things that you enjoy eating. Things like dried fruits are a good snack food, as are nuts, so you can always keep a packet of dried apricots with you and not feel like you're pigging out on unhealthy things. Fresh fruit and veg are equally important. The best thing is just to eat three, decent sized, balanced meals a day. Don't just eat things like rice and pasta because your metabolism will just whizz through these in seconds, add other things to these staples to bulk out the meal, give it more variety and slow your system down a bit. Make food interesting and enjoyable to eat. Often it can seem like a chore, especially if people are pestering you to eat, but if you find yourself a recipe book and look through that and find ideas that you like you can take control of your diet and make it more regular and more interesting as you experiment with cooking and preparing meals.
I really hope this advice is helpful, I have a real problem with my quick metabolism, faddy eating and irregular meal habits but if you structure your eating into three meals and occasional snacks and find meals and foods that you enjoy then you're more likely to stick to a regular eating routine and you'll soon feel the benefits and hopefully that ribbiness will disappear.

To eat a lot and to sit watching TV it is not healthy at all, but the very best thing you can try... every morning, after you are taking shower and dry yourself, spread on your body some oil, do a little massage until it sucks into skin ... I'm sure you can find some natural oil, like sesame or mustard seed (I use to buy in Asian food shops). But take a note that these are heating and better use them during winter time, but for summer it's better something cooling like coconut or almond oil. Good luck, hope it's helpful...

i would suggest u eat more 'stodgey' food such as large amounts carbs with protein such as rice and chicken, potatoes, pasta. dont stuff your face with unhealthy snacks as u will put on weight in the wrong way, introduce more carbs into your diet and u should put weight on
