Help gaining weight?

[paigems]

I'm 5'6" and 110lbs.

These are my measurements:

34"-26"-36"

According to my BMI, I'm underweight, and I look it. I'm going to try to gain some weight because I hate being this skinny. It's uncomfortable, and I don't like the way it looks.

So I have a few questions:

What is a healthy weight for my height?

What are good measurements for my height?

Guys, what weight do you think looks best on a girl with my proportions?

Thanks :)

Generally the rule of thumb for body weight is that you are supposed to be 100 lbs. at 5 ft and 5 more lbs. for every inch after that so you should be weighing around 130.

But some people are just built with a different kind of muscle than others so they are skinnier, but if you really want to gain weight, don't worry so much about fat free or lower calories. You might want to still count your calories though to make sure you aren't burning more calories than you are putting in.

Also, eating a high protein snack like a a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before you go to bed can help.

I agree as long as the BMI is above 19, then you're within a healthy range in terms of weight.

if you go online, you can change the numbers and see what weight is ideal

i suggest taking a good source of protein, like whey, but put fruit and milk in it, and this helps gain weight healthier if you work out too

I think if you got up to 125-130 you would be great.

Haha, those are almost my exact measurements (you're like an inch taller than me and an inch off in all of those!) So I guess I'll keep an eye on this question, haha. :)

im 130 and 5'6 and people think I look skinny so I can imagine you do too! it's ok, a healthy weight would be about 130. my measurements are 34-26-38.
