How to increase weight? Nothing works why?

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am trying from quite a long time to increase my weight but guess what never been able to increase weight. My current is around 130 lbs and my height around 5 feet 9 inches
Tried gym, tried eating more times in a day, trying eating junk food, cheese, milk etc. nothing works upon me.
Please suggest?
And by the way wanted to mention 1 more point. I am a vegetarian.

What you need to do is start drinking 2 litres of water everyday... and you can buy protein drinks which are in a powder from that you add milk or water too and they help to increase body fat:):) junk food won't really help... it's probably because you have a really fast metabolism... ask a pharmacist I'm sure they'll be able to give you a tasty and easy to get your hands on alternative like the drinks I mentioned... I know cause my cousin has to take them twice a day :):):) hope I helped

Thanks.. It surely is useful.. Will try to follow some of your suggestions..

high protein and carb diets will make you gain weight very quickly, but also healthier than just eating a bunch of shit.

You gain weight by eating more calories than what your body burns. If you burn only 2000 calories a day, you'll gain weight by eating well more than 2000 calories.

Omg this is so annoying I have the same problem... I am not a vegetarian but recently I have been gaining weight. What I have been doing is just eating a boatload more and having more than 3 meals a day can help-especially since you are a vegetarian. You also have to make sure you are eating the right vegetables to make up for the kack of meat or protein in your diet. However, it might be a genetic thing or that you have a very high metabolic rate.

Putting weight just generally... eat tons of carbs,100g or more (rice, potatoes, bread). Putting weight with muscle mass... eat protein and since you're a vegetarian stick with beans, eggs, tofu, milk as protein. Be in a caloric surplus (daily caloric need +500cals or more)

[Asker]

I try those but I don't get hungry so often. Any idea how to get super hungry and eat more of stuffs you mentioned.

[CourtJester]

Naturally, eat less fiber (even though they're healthy as it can get) cause they're low in calorie but fills you up. Can't think of anything other than appetite pills.

[Asker]

Yup!! Will try that. Thanks..

Maybe you are just a naturally small person, there is nothing wrong with that. I like small & skinny guys, I don't think a man has to be big & muscular to be attractive.

I would suggest getting a in home workout program like Insanity. I would also suggest drinking shakeology every day. It would help give you the protein your body needs each day. I would also suggest eating Greek yogurt daily, it has a ton of protein. Life weights and when you do push your body. If you have any questions ask me!

Eat more, plain and simple. Anything else is overthinking it. Not hungry? Too bad, get some more food down you.

I am a vegetarian you say? Thats why. You start eating Beef stew and red meat you will then pack on muscle and weight

[Asker]

Thanks for the suggestion sir.. but that cannot happen. Real man are those who can complete the task with all the constraints. Now I will take this as a challenge to prove myself.
Thanks for increasing my determination..

[Iron_Man]

I am a real man and what does a real man have to do with eating Meat? What did your forefathers eat are they not real man Sir? Should I say non meat eaters are soft?

[Asker]

Im not against any people who eat meat. Everyone has there own choice.
Some people do something that the other doesn't. That is why we have so much cultural diversity.
My only point was when you follow something don't change it just because you have to achieve something else. You should stick to your principles and even then bring the best out of yourself.

I seriously hope that I have not said anything that make you feel bad. That was never my intention if I have done that. But you are quite experienced to understand my point of view. :)

Besides the red meat talk which I love eating steaks I am in no way a following sheep I am so not like the rest of mankind I am always doing something against the grain

[douride2]

Yes I'm the same as you I eat pretty much what I like & never seem to put weight on. I guess I'm just lucky.

Vegetarians are always skinny. I've literally never seen or heard of a fat or chubby vegetarian. Sorry mate.

[Athleticbroo]

Carb load. Also, Eat in 4k or above cals range (Because it sounds like you got high metabolism)

[Averageusername]

Protein shakes. you're welcome
