Whats the best way to gain weight?

Question

I'm 6 foot 5 inches, and I'm realy skinny for my age 128lbs, I eat alot and am quite active, but never gain weight. A while ago my doctor made me drink 3 instant breakfast shakes a day, but they didn't help at all, I started drinking them 1 and a half years ago and they haven't done a thing, whats the best thing to do?

Answer 1

dont do anything....just sit at home and if you go out dont walk, drive
that way you'll burn very few calories and gain weight

Answer 2

were you drinking them as well as having a full diet?
Alot of people have a high metabolic rate. this basically means you're unable to actually store much of the fat, carbs etc that is ingested - meaning you're unable to put on weight. Try the gym - this will stir the muscles into action, thus your body will start to absorb more nutrients to replace the ones you just used in the gym. this will build the muscles up, and adding to your weight. remember;
Protein!
Carbs!
Smaller portions but more frequent meals.
Goodluck

Answer 3

Don't listen to the people that say things such as, "eat junk food" and "don't exercise" because the only thing that those things will do is cause health problems.

Try to eat things such as:
-Meat
-Protein
-Fish, Rice, Beans, etc.

And also, stay active.

If you can't put on weight from food then you should workout often. Lift weights and add muscle to your body.

Hope this helped!

I hate you.... with every bone in my body. Just hate you.

No, of course I don't. With your frame and a high metabolism, you will probably always have a problem keeping weight on. But eat healthy. A very thin person can have clogged arteries and drop from a heart attack, too. Even teens are having heart attacks now. Many are very athletic and thin as a rail, but they eat too much junk.

Answer 5

First of all You should try increasing your calories and Adding more vitamins to your diet. Also try seeing a specialist about your intestines. Thats where all your vitamins and good stuff is absorbed. If you have a poor intake of those you will stay thin and not be getting the calories and nutrition you need Try seeing a professional dietician.

Answer 6

Hmm. Eat a lot of protein and carbs. Like steak or what not. Lotsa meats. Otherwise, eat bigger meals, and drink a slimfast WITH the meal. Those are loaded in cals and actually make you gain weight. Or see your doctor....I think they have pills to make you fatter.

Answer 7

Eat a lot of protein, but stay away from fast food. Eat large portions of healthy food.

Answer 8

If the Dr didn't find anything wrong, why worry?
Have you tried lots of high calorie foods - funny, but maybe Baby food and whole milk since babies need alot of calories.

Answer 9

the best thing to do is work out, take protein shakes but eat heavy healthy food, meats n stuff.... not too much cardio more free weights,

Answer 10

why would you want to gain weight?

well i cant tell, but you must be male because no female would want to gain weight.
if i were you, i'd start lifting weights because you don't want to be tall and fat. maybe you could try burning less calories..but muscles are a lot of weight. so go for that.

Answer 11

Theres nuthin wrong with beign too skinny. it just makes u diffrent. You really can't do anything about it because u have a higher matabolism.
