Im about 5'2 with a small frame, and about 98 pounds. I guess since Im built small I cant put on weight as easy. But id like to get up to about 110 pounds.
Are there anything exercises I can do to add muscle so I can look bigger, or any foods I can eat that put weight on people fast?
Just wanted some suggestions, Thanks!

Do light weight training, you build muscle but don't look bulgy, it's just that muscle weighs more than fat in comparison, so you look slim and weigh more.
As long as you are eating healthy, you will be fine. Don't go eating McDonald's or Burger King, because you will gain the WRONG type of weight and have health problems.
You don't say how old you are, if you are a teenager, you are ok for your weight. It's just that you have a high metabolism. Trust me, when you get older, it goes away and you will have no problem gaining too much weight.
So just eat healthy and exercise healthy, because that is what is important.
You can also ask your doctor what he or she recommends for healthy weight gain.

Try eating a lot of lean to moderate protein (not fatty, greasy protein)and weight lifting. You don't want to gain all that weight in fat, and muscle weighs more than fat anyways. Do it slowly, since the additional 17 lbs. is going to be a big change for your body. If you gain a lot really quickly, you could get ill.
My best advice is to ask your doctor and a trainer. Even the YWCA's have trainers and such that can answer questions like that for you, and it is usually included with your membership the first time you sign up.

Why are you worried about a scale? I would be more concerned with how the muscles looked than how much they weigh.
When lifitng weights, I was told go for something moderate-heavy and do 4ish sets of 8-12 reps and that this would help bulk up muscle size. Make sure you work your whole body, and if you work one muscle you also work its opposite.

My best advice for you is to get a personal trainer to assist you. Don't get advice on here for this type of routine. You don't want to bulk up and look like a man and you don't want to get chubby in other places just to gain 11 pounds. A personal trainer can help you achieve what you are wanting. They are not that expensive to use a few times. Most gyms have someone that can assist you in doing just what you want to do.

consume a balanced weight loss plan-be sure you have massive breakfast's-and do your exercises early interior the morning in the previous you consume-and then have a huge breakfast no longer merely will this trim down your fat, yet will enhance the quantity muscle you benefit. make sure its no longer merely lifting weights, carry out a little calestetics(push-ups, take a seat-ups, pull-ups, squats, and so on.), swap up what you paintings out everytime-i got here across that in case you have been to paintings out 5 days a week-1st day do muscle failure, here day do aerobic, here day do muscle failure, then aerobic, and so on. it truly works the comparable in case you paintings out decrease than that-however the greater you do, the swifter the ease-the main severe factor is which you enhance slowly(do no longer over do it) and save at it- this is the only thank you to maintain what you benefit. in case you finally end up needing greater protein to bulk up you ought to use a protein supplement(pass to a GNC, they gets you on the properly suited track). in case you do take a supplement, be sure you nonetheless paintings out frequently, in any different case all that bulk is going to pass the place you do no longer choose for it aka fat.
