What is a healthy way to gain weight?

[Anonymous]

I used to weigh 220 lbs back in January of this year but now as of this month I'm down to 180 lbs, I'm 5 ft 11 inches. My family thinks I've lost too much weight because my ribs are starting to show a little bit. The twist is that I got a DUI like a DUM-BASS a year ago so I have been having to ride my bicycle everywhere now which is probably the reason why I shrunk so much, but I need to put on some weight but don't wanna do it by eating a bunch of greasy ass fast food or sweets either. Any advice would help thanks:-)

umm are you trying to stay looking slim or are you trying to put on muscles? because there are different type of work outs for each. If you want to put on weight but not look muscular just eat slightly more calories than you expend (you can look at a calorie counter online or something) doing it with weights though is a lot easier I think just go through a bulking phase (lots of calories, high weight low rep workouts)

I'm just trying to gain weight back..I tried fast food and eating a lot but It don't work because I have to keep riding my bicycle on account of my license suspension. I actually got weaker too because of the weight loss. I just wanna get back to a healthy size..but I think I like your advice it sounds very reasonable:-)

well 5'11 180 isn't that small man, I mean maybe for your body type but I know some guys that are 6foot plus that are lower thna 180 and look healthy.

again its all about calorie intake take in more than you put out = weigh more

Eat good cards, good fat (nuts and fish) and start to lift weights. It works.

Hmmm so 24 hour fitness might be a good idea?

Any time anyone loses weight their family is worried they are underfed.

5'11 180 is not particularly thin.

Haha just trying to make ya laugh bro. Glad it helped out. I would recommend protein shakes and bars, when you put on mass, it translates over to size gains. The Mark Wahlberg "No Pain, No Gain" routine made me huge. There is a diet plan along with it outlining what to do. You can also go to your local GNC and meet with a representative who can pair you up with the best supplements for what you're trying to accomplish! Best of luck bro.

eat a lot of proteins!

[Asker]

Like? I'm not a health savvy person.

meat and nuts

[Asker]

Oh OK thanks:-)

Wrong, protein is the lowest in calories.

Nuts are mostly fat, and high in calories.
