How can I gain weight

[Anonymous]

So I have a high metabolism and I am also naturally skinny. I was just wondering how can I gain a few more pounds to make me look more healthy for my age.

PS. I do eat a lot

Exercise, weight training, control how you eat and don't just eat a lot. Introduce more carbs and protein to your diet. A sample of your dinners will be one night, steak, a baked potato, and brocolii. Another night it can be chicken breast, pasta, and some other veggie on the side. Lunch can be your dinner left overs or a turkey or chicken sandwich. Breakfast, you can do a protein smoothie, or six egg whites, bacon, and steel cut oatmeal. Since you are already skinny, you don't need a lot of cardio. 20-30 minutes 3 times a week is fine. You want to focus on weight training. Not a lot that you look like a body builder, but just enough to build your muscles and thicken you up a bit.

And when you are doing your weight training, keep this in mind. If it doesn't hurt then you aren't working hard enough. If you want to get that extra muscle mass, you have to hurt your muscles in order to trick them into getting bigger and stronger. After you get to the size you want to be though, then all you have to do is maintain that shape.

Less cardio more weight training. Exercise less often. Stop smoking if you do. I would avoid weight gainers if you're under 18. Taking them now will have you regretting it later. If you are under 18 you may just have to wait a little while. I'm sure you'll fill out. The older you get the slower your metabolism gets. Patience may be the best policy?

Try drinking more soda, maybe? I know that when I stopped drinking it I lost a lot of weight ridiculously fast, so maybe if you start drinking it, or start drinking it more often, it'll help you gain some weight.

try eating less frequently to slow down your metabolism try eating bigger meals but space them apart farther

I'm kind of the same way. Very active and have a high metabolism so I'm very thin. If you don't gain weight after changing your diet you might want to try a weight gainer supplement. That paired with exercise should give you what you're looking for.

It may sound counter intuitive but you might consider exercise to tone up your muscles a bit.

I do exercise a lot and I also play sports. so I am pretty tone.

adding muscle to your body will do it. weight training

If you're just looking for straight fat, find your favorite kind of doritos and sit down with a bag.

That really doesn't work for people with high metabolisms.
