Don't eat junk food (McDonalds, etc.) because it will poison you.  Bread and grains should work.  Also, you should exercise your legs (ride a bicycle, for example) to gain some muscles.

Mass? Weight gainer shakes will be a much better choice than simply adding loads of butter etc. to things or eating junk loaded with saturated fats, you want to consider your health as well!\n\nYour metabolism is actually raised when you eat as well and is at its lowest when you are asleep so try to get plenty of rest and also eat just a few large meals per day rather than eating all day.

Try fresh milk. I gained 12lbs in last 7 months just by adding 2 glass of them everyday to my diet. Don't forget to exercise, so you gain weight but not that extra flab.

I have a friend that is sort of like you, he is like 6'2" ish and about 145lbs.  He can eat just about anything and not gain much weight, but that also goes for muscle as well.  He goes to the gym with me sometimes and for a while was working out very regularly, he did put on about 10 lbs of muscle but it took 3-4 months of lots of training.  \n\nFor someone like you I think the key is to just eat a lot, and just make sure you are eating the right types of foods (not fast food and junk food) a good choice to add to some of your meals might be natural peanut butter as well as maybe some of the more fatty types of fish.  That is of course if you like those types or foods.  Also you could always go to like a GNC or vitamin shop and ask them what they recommend for someone in your position.  I would suggest getting some whey protein for after work outs and maybe some casein protein for before bed.  That might help your body grow as well.  \n\nIf you are really serious about gaining muscle it will be a lot of work, because it is just hard to eat enough food to get a body with a very high metabolism fed properly.

HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT HEALTHFULLY \n\n1. Eat consistently. Every day, have three hearty meals plus one to three additional snacks. Do NOT skip meals! You'll miss out on important calories that you need to accomplish your goals.\n\n2. Eat larger than normal portions. Instead of having one sandwich for lunch, have two. Eat three potatoes at dinner, instead of only two. Have a taller glass of milk, bigger bowl of cereal, larger piece of fruit. \n\n3. Select higher calorie foods. Read food labels to determine which foods have more calories than an equally enjoyable counterpart. \n\n4. Drink lots of juice and milk. Beverages are a simple way to increase your caloric intake, quench your thirst with calorie.\nHowever, remember that drinking water is important too as it gives you the energy to gain weight.\n\n 5. Do strengthening exercises (weight lifting, push-ups) to stimulate muscular development so that you bulk-up instead of fatten up. Some underweight people are afraid exercise will result in weight loss rather than weight gain. If that is your case, remember that exercise tends to stimulate the appetite; you will want to eat more. (Yes, exercise may temporarily "kill" your appetite right after a hard workout, but within a few hours, you will get hungry.) Exercise also increases thirst; you will easily be able to drink extra juices.\n\n\n6. (extremely important!)  Stay away from bad fat! Even though weight gain is your goal, you do not want to be gaining fat and eating junk. Get rid of the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. Stick to high protein, low (saturated) fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey,  rice, pasta, fruits and vegetables, nuts.\n\nGOOD LUCK\nHaya

Sunshine is right...EPO is usually recommended to help people LOSE weight.  You might try switching to another GLA rich oil...like Borage Oil or Blackcurrant oil.  These will help your original problem and there is no indication they make people gain weight.  You should try revving up your metabolism by taking CLA or drinking a lot of green tea.  Both of these have been shown to help people reduce their weight.  Also take a look at your diet in general..are you getting enough protein for instance?   You need to include lean protein with each meal...and avoid flour products.  Concentrate on whole grains and lots of fruit and veg..and as i said lean protein.  Also fish oil capsules are good.  Im a nutritional consultant by the way..so i do have experience with these things.  Good luck.

To gain fat: Eat thousands of calories of junk food daily\n\nTo gain muscle: Make sure you get enough protein. A good target to shoot for is 1 gram per pound of lean body mass. Also, exercises of any type will help to stimulate certain muscles - causing them to grow. Also, it is important to be sure that you are hypercaloric to a degree. Your body must have a surplus of calories in order to ensure that there is enough left over to build muscle.

Well, I have a bit of the same problem. Like you, I've been lean my whole life. If you feel you are underweight, try going to see a doctor who can check out your thyroid. You may have what I have, hyperthyroid. So we burn off energy faster than the normal person which is why we stay lean. However, to gain weight consists of certain factors. For one, people will tell you to try eating more. Instead, write down what you eat for about a week and then compare it to the food pyramid. Based on what you eat, it will tell you what food to eat more of to gain weight. For me, I realized I needed to eat more carbohydrates. Be careful if people tell you to eat a lot of protein. Everything must be done in moderation. Too much protein can have an effect on female hormonic changes as well as other things not so good. Also, start weight lifting. This will increase muscle as well as weight (What's called BMI; you can look it up online). I hope I've been of some help.

well gaining muscle and not fat should be the main objective for health reasons.\n\n If you are highly active and working out at least 6 hours a week\n I would say 3,000 Calories with no more than 25% in fat\n \n  foods containing fat and oils  that are actually good for you would be:\n\n     * olive oil 2-3 tablespoons a day (cold)\n     * avocados\n     * fish\n     \nThe following is a list of foods that could help safely gain the weight:\n\n chicken breast -  broiled, bbq, or smoked fish - eggs-  beans,\n bananas,  fruit yogurt smoothies,  spinach pies , bagels cream cheese,  chicken Shawarmas or Gyro , Sushi , Salads with the works instead of potatoes or fries, Pasta but cooked al dente so it doesn't turn into pure glucose, have a sandwich buffet with everything cut and ready to go like Subway out of your fridge.\n\nWith excersise only do cardio 40 min 3 times a week no more\nand focus mainly on lifting weights slow reps, heavier weights\nbut careful not to hurt yourself.  fast light reps are for people trying\nto slim down.\n\nGood luck

I had the same problem when I was younger. I couldn't gain weight no matter what I did. If you doctor is telling you that you are under weight and it is for your health, check and see if they can make you an appointment with a nutritionist, someone that can put a diet plan together for you. The down side to being able to eat whatever you want and not gain weight is that you develop bad eating habits. I'm 30 now and still the right size for my height, age, but now I worry about cholesterol, etc. If you can't get to a nutritionist, try a diet with high protien, meats, fish, chicken, etc. Then make sure to add at least one vegetable at every meal. Stay away from high fat foods thinking they will put on weight faster. Also, try to keep dairy in your diet if you can.\nGood luck.

Okay, here is a responsible answer.  \n\nEggs are very good, and good for you.  High in calories, protein, good cholestorol, and omega-3 fatty acids (the good kind).\n\nYou can buy weight gain formula, but unless you are forking over big bucks (I'm not talking $40 for a big container with a screw on lid) for it, you are probably getting junk.  Do some internet research.  Read the ingredients list.  If you can't pronounce it, you probably don't want to ingest it.\n\nI encourage you to continue with a healthy diet, but try to increase your calorie intake.  Have more of healthy food.  Lots of protein.  Natural peanut butter is good (not the stuff with lots of sugar added), bread made from STONE GROUND wheat flour or sprouted wheat, not wheat flour or whole wheat flour, or enriched wheat flour.\n\nDo feel free to treat yourself occasionally.  Plan a candy bar for each day, or maybe even something like the new Snickers Marathon bar would be good.\n\nThere is just a few of my cents (as I walk the path of wholesome food).\n\nGood luck.

Honey have you been checked for hyperthyroidism? You say you eat all the time but dont gain weight, have the doc check you for anything that could be causing that first, if you havent already. \nDONT just go and eat fatty foods, that will just end up giving you health problems. Try more proteins and meats (if your not a vegetarian), maybe get a weight building supplement from a health store.

Try looking on www.differentu.com and look under weight management and look at nutritional shake mixes. They say weight loss but will also help you gain it just depends on how you use it. All you have to do to gain weight is take a shake with every meal you eat and thats it. You can add all types of things like fresh/frozen fruit, yogart, ice, etc. So check it out and see what you think. God bless you and I wish you the best!!

Sweetie consult your physician, eat right, excercise, look for an organic gocery store, most regular grocery stores have food that comes from Bio-farms and unhealthy chemicals.  I also suggest the book - eat right for your type- you have to know your blood type, though- that has really worked for me and it was suggested to me by my family doctor when I had began to gain weight.
