Trying to gain weight?

Question

i'm 16, 5'2 and 110 lbs. i was 120 a few months ago, but then i got sick and lost about 10 lbs. i'm extremely uncomfortable at 110 and would love to gain my weight back. I've tried a lot of things, and nothing seems to be working right. Any ideas??

Answer 1

It depends on the kind of weight you want to gain. I have a super fast metabolism, but gained about 20 pounds in 2 months by eating at McDonald's in-between meals. You can also drink a big milkshake before you go to sleep at night. But, this is what you need to do if you want to gain muscle:
-You need to eat at least 1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh each day (no more than 40 grams at a time). Drink lots of water to help your body process the protein better.
-You need to work out with heavy weights and low reps to stimulate muscle growth (if you can do it more than 8 times, it's too light).
-You need to let your body totally recover before working out a particular muscle again (less is more when gaining).
-Take L-Glutamine at night to help keep your body from burning muscle.
-Stay away from the cardio during this time (nothing that will raise your heartrate for extended periods of time).
-Be consistent! Good luck.

eat a lot, exercise a bit less. especially eat meat and grains, like bread, pasta, and stuff. enjoy eating fatty foods. go to fast food restaurants. enjoy eating plenty of chocolate! i've never heard of someone trying to gain weight unless they were anorexic. definitely most surely not saying that u r. ur not.
