How Do I Get Fatter?

[Anonymous]

I'm quite skinny and its difficult to gain weight, I know, eat more but it doesn't work.
I tried eating only fast food for two weeks and nothing. I've tried eating larger portions and have lots of carbohydrates but still nothing.
I can eat a lot and I have a large appetite, I'm like shaggy from Scooby doo, I can eat loads but not get fat.
I'm always asked why I'm so skinny or why I don't eat but I do.
Any help?

I'm guessing I have a high metabolism but how do I know for sure, could this be an illnesses?

Do lots of strength training with a protein diet. You will gain muscles.

Might as well gain muscle than fat.
My friend gained 10 pounds doing that. He goes to the gym every second day and eats properly. So you've got a chance bud.

The truth is, even though you think you eat enough, you aren't. Try keeping a calorie goal for each day, eat around 3000cals and tell me thats how much you usually eat.

3000? I've been doing 2000...

[maiez]

Yeah, at 2000 you won't gain fast at all if anything. For me I am underweight at 140lbs 5'9. My basal goal is 1660, which means anything less than that and I will lose muscle and fat. So I need at least 1660 cals to function properly with no exercise. At 3150 I gained 10lbs in one month, then the next 3 months I gained another 5. Its hard work- good luck!

But the thing is I'm tone, what if I worked out and built on what I have?

[maiez]

You should work out and eat more, you'll gain weight faster, because most of it will be muscle. If you didn't work out then you'd build up a lot of fat, which you shouldn't want.

Eat better and work out. As you age you will gain mass in different ways. Read this

You'll gain weight when you get older, so don't spam junkfood

I've got this friend saying proudly he could eat whatever he wanted without getting fat... suddenly it happened
He's all skinny except for the belly... the horror

[Asker]

They don't make them anymore.

[Dtegesd123]

easiest, most logical solution is to drink your calories in if you can't eat that much.
