That first answer is on the right track, but certain foods (protein, primarily) is very metabolically costly. That is, proteins are more dificult for th body to break down, and thus more calories burned simply in the process of metabolizing the proteins.\n\nHow MUCH is it increased? On a very high protein diet (say, up to 1.5g/pound of bodyweight, which is lower than most bodybuilders but far above the average person), you might be able to get a 10-20% increase just on food content. But that's just a guestimate. I read a study on this a while ago, but don't recall the exact nuimbers. \n\nBottom line, the impact was present, but not startling.And the lack of preservatives would likely have no impact at all. It's healthier, but not because your metabolism is affected.\n\nMore importantly, when going to a "90-100% organic, balanced healthy diet", you're almost certainly going to increase your micronutrient intake drastically, which is a hugely good thing. The nutrient density of the foods you choose will be excellent, and you're almost certainly lower your total caloric intake in the process.\n\nJust off the top of my head.

Soy is the only vegetable product that contains all of the amino acids found in meat.  So increase your soy intake by adding soy milk to cereals, having soy yogurt and eating tofu as part of lunch or dinner.  Try marinating tofu in different sauces then baking or stir-frying it.  Other "artificial meat" products like tempeh are less beneficial because they are made from wheat protein and consequently don't have those amino acids.\n\nOther ways to boost your protein intake include nut, seeds, beans, grains like quinoa and certain vegetables like spinach and broccoli.  Many people with dairy intolerances can still eat dairy that comes from sheep and goats in small quantities, so eat some small quantities of feta or ricotta cheese to see if they agree with your digestive system.  One of my favorite high-protein breakfasts is a scramble made from tofu, spinach, feta cheese, lemon juice and fresh herbs.  I also snack on homemade hummous during the day (try dipping some broccoli into the hummous).  For dinner, a tofu stir-fry with fresh veggies and a few almonds tossed in.\n\nAlso, I suggest going back and double-checking the route of your "dairy" intolerance.  I thought I was lactose intolerant so I cut out dairy products.  I felt a lot better after two or three days.  What I hadn't realized was that at the same time I cut out most of the wheat from my diet, as living in Italy I ate a lot of pizza (with cheese) and pasta (with cheese and/or cream sauce).  I have since re-introduced small quantities of dairy but eliminated wheat entirely, and feel even better than before.

To gain weight, you should increase the number of calories in your daily diet by about 300 calories.  Have larger size helpings of  food at meals. Proteins are needed for building muscles, so having high protein food like eggs, milk,  peanut butter, protein shakes will help. Also have more of  starchy foods and drink lots of water.

It depends how much you are eating, almonds are high in protein and good fats, they are very healthy if you don't overdo it

If you are doing strength training, you should try to get 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Your body uses protein to build the muscles. \n\nSoy and legumes are good sources of protein. If your diet includes dairy products, these are another good source of protein. You should try to get as much of your protein from your diet, and then use powders to supplement (soy powder or whey protein powder).

None. Protein shakes are 100% unnatural and unhealthy. Why is it that you need to gain 5-10 pounds..and at 16? Your weight fluctuates about 5 pounds throughout the day, so I wouldn't try to load your body with chemicals and such to simply gain a couple pounds.

Protein is the greatest source for building muscle or prevention of muscle loss. Foods high in protein will be your meats and poultry, seafood and fish, tofu and dairy items like milk and cheese. Some of the high protein foods may come with high levels of saturated fats (mostly founds in meats), so you may want to consider protein shakes made from 100% whey protein which has low fat and low carb.

Protein does not turn into fat.  You dont want to take too much protein as too much can cause kidney damage in susceotable people.  You would be much better off taking a look at the GI Diet especially if you are thinking of doing hard exercise.  You need carbs!  Dont try and cut them out!

Try to lessen the carbs, if you can totally eliminate carbs from your diet for 6 days a week.  Make your dinnertime before 6 pm, and drink lots of water everyday, at least 8-10 glasses per day.  You can also try the protein shake drink, replace your breakfast and dinner with this protein drink, and you can eat a full meal during lunchtime, and if you are well-disciplined with your diet, you can lose weight by the 3rd or 4th week.  While taking protein shake, you can eat a piece of fruit with it.
