There are three bodytypes: Ectomorph, Endomorph, Mesomorph.\n\nEctomorphs-Have long arms and legs small bones, and thin muscles. They also have very little fat.\n\nEndomorphs-Pear shaped and large with big bones and lots of fat. Lots of muscle under the fat.\n\nMesomorphs-Large bones, broad shoulders and slim waist. Not much fat and lots of muscle. Natural bodybuilders.\n\nMost people are a combination of two different bodytypes. Each bodytypes has to exercise different in order to achieve certain results.\n\nYou sound like you are an ectomorph. Ectomorphs usually don't gain muscle as easily as mesomorphs or endomorphs. \nYou going to need to get lots of rest at least 8 hours per night and you will have to lift heavey weights. You also will have to eat a lot. Maybe a gram of protein for every pound of bodyweight. Take a look at these books:\n\nSuper Squats by Randall Strossen\nArnold Swartzenegger's Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding\nBodybuilding 101 by Robert Wolff

Gain muscles by eating a good diet with extra protein and lifting weights.  Make sure you are getting at least 2000 calories a day by keeping track, like dieters.  While doing that, you can see if you have a balanced diet.  Don't just start eating fatty foods to gain weight.  You will cause health problems.  If you keep a record of what you eat, you also have the proof to shut people up.

If you are trying to gain weight and do it properly go see a nutritionist, or even an employee over at GNC. There are supplements that you can take to help you gain weight. Since it sounds like you have a quick metabolism,  you should eat every 2-3 hours with proteins and carbs. Avoid the sugar, although a bowl of ice cream before bed will surely help you put on some pounds. But try and do it the healthy way.

I hope this is a question to gain a couple pounds to be able to squeeze into a certain weight class or to meet a limit. There's weight gain powders/drinks at certain stores if you need extreme results but I would just say to increase the portions of your meals until you've reached the weight that you wish to be at.

(Note: get proper diet plan from nutrition expert.)\nTo gain weight, you need not resort to junk food and beer, as, I am sure, your friends will suggest.\nInstead, have properly balanced diet, with protein and vitamin supplements, exercise moderately, and do yoga.

It depends on why you need the extra weight. If you need to gain weight to turn it into muscle eat lots of proteins like meet. Cheese is a good source of fat. Complex carbohydrates like pasta, breads and rice are the way to go. Stay away from simple sugars like candy and my favorite Apple Jacks type of cereals. But definitely a high protein diet is a good weight gainer. Here is the down side. To much protein can cause your kidneys to back up so drink LOTS of water to help flush them.

If as you say you cannot stuff any more food in and cannot gain weight, you should talk to a doctor.  She or he might be able to do more for you than changing your diet will.  Have you calculated your body mass index (BMI)?  There are many websites where you can do this, I recommend the CDC website: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/index.htm (use the teen calculator).  This will let you know where you stand with your peers.  The best way to gain weight is to increase calorie intake.  If you are eating as much as you can, maybe you should change the types of food you are eating, i.e. no junk food, stay away from saturated fats, UNsaturated fat is good, as well as proteins which will help strengthen muscles (muscle weighs more than fat).  Whole milk, although not too low in saturated fat is a good source of calories from fats and proteins, and is sometimes recommended by nutritionists to help undernourished people gain weight.  Also peanut butter is good, it has a good balance of calories from fats, carbs and proteins.  Good luck, but most importantly you should talk to a doctor or nutritionist before making any drastic changes.

i have always been skinny and wanted to gain weight.  Everyone told me to drink milk but it never worked for me, but it probably depends on the person and their metabolism and stuff.

Eating to Gain Mass\n \nThis is usually the forgotten element of most mass programs. Food. The truth is, no one will gain muscle without food. It seems so simple and basic, yet most don't get enough of it to build muscle.\n\nDieting for muscle gain is simply a matter of eating. You must eat more calories than your body burns off. Now, when I say eat, I do not mean just anything. All calories are not created equal. In other words, some types of calories are not equal to others for gaining muscle. For example, if I said that you need to eat 2,000 calories per day to gain weight, and you eat 4 bags of potato chips each day, do you think you would gain muscle? Not likely.\n\nThe majority of your weight would be fat. Why? Because potato chips, like most processed junk food, contains empty, totally nutritionless calories. These foods do not provide you with the correct nutrient breakdown essential for gaining muscle. \n\nHigh quality protein, which the body breaks down into amino acids, should be the center point of all your meals. Intense exercise increases demand for amino acids, which support muscle repair and growth. When you train with weights, you should eat a minimum of 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. So, for example, if you weight 100 lbs., you should be eating at least 100 grams of protein per day. You also must have protein at every meal. \n\nTo enable your body to actually assimilate and use the all the calories you will ingest, you have to reduce your meal size and increase your meal frequency. Splitting your calories into smaller, more frequent portions will enable food absorption and utilization of nutrients . I always eat six meals each day, evenly spaced out at three-hour intervals. My goal is to provide my body with constant nourishment throughout the day.\n\nYou don't have to have carbs or fat at every meal, but you must have protein. When I say protein, I am referring to high quality protein derived from animal sources. Soy protein, tofu and bean curd have their place, but for getting bigger and stronger, the only protein you need to be concerned with are those found in whey, casein (cottage cheese), eggs, beef, poultry, and fish. \n\nHigh Protein Foods\nWhey protein \nEggs \nEgg whites \nChicken breasts \nTurkey Breasts \nLean Beef \nFish (tuna, salmon) \nProtein bar \nSoy protein Isolate \n\nHigh Carbohydrate Food\nPotatoes (baked, fries, hash browns) \nSweet Potatoes, yams \nOatmeal, cream of wheat, cream of rice rice \nBeans \nAny green leafy vegetable \nBread \nPasta \nAll cereals (hot or cold)\n\nHealthy Fats \nOlive oil \nSunflower oil \nSafflower oil \nFlaxseed oil \nWalnuts \nAvocados \n\n \n\nSample Mass Diet \n\nIt provides 2,440 calories, 234g of protein, 182g of carbs and 81g of fat: \n\n8am -- Meal 1 \nMyoplex, 1 tsp flaxseed oil \n432 calories, 42g of protein, 25g of carbs, 14g of fat \n\n11pm -- Meal 2 \n4 Whole Eggs w/ 1 cup of hash browns \n440 calories, 28g of protein, 36g of carbs, 20g of fat\n\n2pm -- Meal 3 \n6 oz. chicken breast with 1/2 cup of rice \n319 calories, 50g of protein, 23g of carbs, 7g of fat\n\n5pm -- Meal 4 \n4 whole eggs in a flour tortilla w/salsa \n367 calories, 24g of protein, 17g of carbs, 20g of fat\n\n8pm -- Meal 5 \nMyoplex, 1tsp flaxseed oil \n432 calories, 42g of protein, 25g of carbs, 14g of fat \n\n\n8pm -- Meal 6 \n6 oz grilled tuna with large baked potato, 1 cup of veggies \n450 calories, 48g of protein, 56g of carbs, 6g of fat \n \n\n\nhttp://www.skinnyguy.net
