How do you gain weight?

[AznSensation]

I eat pretty much anything and fairly often. When people see me eat, they are suprised to see the amount of food I eat. However, I just can't seem to gain weight. Is there a way I could gain weight without eating unhealthy foods? (i.e. burgers, too much sweets, etc)

Lift to gain muscle? Muscle weighs proportionally more than fat.

I would say just eat more calories than you burn off, but you're probably one of those disgusting high-metabolism types that would burn calories in a coma.

protein + creatine = easy fast weight

(you gotta keep it up though, once you stop using hte creatine, the water weight will drop quickly)

eat a lot of tuna, chicken, lean cuts of beef, brown or long grain rice.

snack on peanuts, they are full of the good fats.

also take protein shakes.

Eat lard and lots of it. Lard is healthy, isn't it?

I tried for many years to gain weight. I ate a lot and even resorted to drinking lots of beer too. I guess I never ate enough because I gained very little weight until I hit my early thirties. After that I could gain or loose weight at-will by controlling my diet. I don't have to stuff my self to gain weight now. I can just eat 500-1000 extra calories a week and put on 3-5 lbs a month or do the reverse. I did have to generally cut back on my food consumption after my early thirties. There was a period where I was up to 210 lbs from my earlier average weight of 145 lbs. I stay around 185 now. It was like one year my metabolism shifted and I could gain weight. I guess my problem was that I was always really physically active. I guess I should have tried playing more Nintendo!

Post your diet and stats (age, height, weight)

You don't eat enough. Eat more.

Logic is still flawed.

 

[jlbenedict]

Eat slightly larger meals (good quality of course), less frequently. If you eat like a typical person that is trying to lose weight, you'll only boost your metabolism more (smaller meals, more frequently per day).

Remember.. Base Metabolic Rate + any additional calories burnt must not exceed what you take in..

Approximately 3500 calories, excess, in one week, will net you one pound of weight gain.

That is a key figure. Again, it all boils down to intaking more than you burn off..
Some people have higher metabolisms'.. some lower..

Tuna is a great source for protein without the negative aspects of fat. You could eat a can a night before going to sleep and be ok.

Gain muscle.

Go see a doctor, first.

If you're just eat less than you should (metabolism-wise), then bulk.
