How can I gain healthy weight?

[Anonymous]

I used to weigh 110 before about a year ago and I've been going to the gym a couple times, now I weigh 91 pounds but I look way too skinny and I'd like to gain more weight but look fit, I've had family issues going on and I haven't been eating the same either because I've been too sad to but I don't starve myself I just eat a little.

Healthy weight gain would have to be in the form of muscle. To increase muscle mass you'll have to eat a high caloric, high protein diet. High caloric in your case would be (assuming you're 21, 5 feet tall and moderately active) 1200 calories, and high protein (1 gram of protein per pound of body weight) 91 grams or more in your case. Lift heavy, do 8-12 reps of an exercise for 3 to 5 sets. Try to stick to compound movements (bench press, squats, dead lifts) that hit more than one muscle at a time. Lastly make sure you get adequate rest, at least 6 hours of sleep a night.

well healthy weight can be muscle. you can start lifting weights and doing core exercises to build muscle and eat a healthy natural foods diet which will allow you to eat a little more when you combine the diet with the workout.

lift weights and eat more protein and healthy carbs

Eat complex carbs, lean meats, vegetables.

Lift weights.

Preferably lower to medium weights with strong repetition and sets.
