Try eating stuff with fiber, like brown bread and rice, they make you feel full and are not that fattening. Drink lots of water and carry healthy snacks with you (fruit, avoid bananas thoug and low fat cheese).

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.

Your diet is what you eat and continue to eat everyday. Using the term "diet" as a means of controlling weight is not really a good use of the word. \n\nIf you are looking for foods that will help you to stay lean and not gain weight here are some words to live by: Stay away from fast foods, especially the burger joints; Try to eat more fruits and veggies, limit your red meat.\n\nA real good web site that can help you is the glycemic index site found at www.glycemicindex.com. This will answer your questions and give you a good idea of what you should eat and why.\n\nGood Luck

Just eat healthy and dont eat junk food to gain weight. You need to be eating more than you burn. Keep excercising though, you want to put on muscle not fat. Find out what the daily requirement for you bmi is. Then make sure you surpass that daily.\nhttp://www.consumer.gov/weightloss/bmi.htm#BMI

I am in the process gaining some weight aswell. To do so, I am drinking Ensure Plus homemade vanilla milkshakes which are actually very yummy. It is a meal replacement aswell as a shake to help you gain weight. I am eating like I normally do but also taking the shakes after dinner. Ensure contains alot of essentials vitamins and minerals, calcium and proteins, it is an excellent way to gain weight, and it really does taste very good. \n\nYou can buy Ensure at any grocery store near you like Publix, aswell as Costco and BJ's.

The best way to gain weight and still be healthy is to eat more protein, less carbs and lift weights, smaller amounts of weight but more reps.  I also eat about five to six small meals a day to keep my body energized.

Ok, the following will assist in weight gain, you need to have 6 meals a day and increase fruit intake & dairy. I don't know what foods you like or can eat but modify, you'll get the idea. Make sure all dairy is full fat not skim. \n\nBreakfast 8am - 2 pieces soy & linseed toast w butter & peanut butter & 1 tub of yoghurt w 5 walnuts & glass of orange juice\nSnack 10.30am - banana smoothie w honey\nLunch 1pm - soy & linseed sandwhich w 2 eggs/50g meat & salad & swiss cheese\nSnack 3.30pm - nut type bar w seaseme seeds, honey & nuts\nDinner 6pm - 1 cup pasta/rice/potatoes side with 200g meat\nSnack 8pm - 2 scoops of ice cream \n\nGood luck!

You'd probably end up with a good case of the sh**ts! Food, pretty much any kind can be good for you, but overindulging can lead to problems. And the banana is considered nature's perfect food, but only to a certain degree. Best to eat a variety of foods in bigger portions, without going overboard. Try calorie dense (contain many calories per serving) foods. Just look at food labels for nutrition suggestions.

Eat a fairly medium breakfast with lots of fiber and eat a small lunch or no lunch(this is just for a month, not forever).\nThen have a light to medium dinner.\nStay low on carbs and fat. That means watch out for:\nchocolate, bananas, bread, candy; Check the label.\nTry not to eat any snacks. If you do eat a snack eat something like Beef Jerky, Fat Free pretzels, applesauce etc.\nExercise for at least 30 minutes continuously by running, swimming, jogging, aerobics, crunches, push ups or something else, it can be simple.\nGo to this website --> mypyramid.gov\nIt will tell you what you need to eat to be healthy\nDon't fall for that excercise 5 hours a day or starve yourself thing.\nIt could hurt you, and not eating can actually make you gain weight, honestly, because when you stop eating, your metabolism rate goes down to adjust to the lack of food. The when you eat again (so you don't die) your metabolism won't go up again, so you gain weight.\nGood luck, be careful!!

fruit is my pick during the day..but be sure to eat it on an empty stomach and do not eat anything else for at least an hour..don't overdo it on the fruit..fruit digests quickly...other foods don't so you need to eat it alone..if you eat it with slow digesting foods it will sit in the stomach with them and ferment causing toxins and weight gain..eat fresh or frozen fruit..check a book for the lowest calories.......as for vegies..eat fresh or frozen..carrots are full of sugar..try dipping broccoli or cauliflower..i have much more to share...i lose weight and eat healthy..

you might want to try some whole milk, real cheese, real butter to fix your eggs in. Don't result to junk food, because let's face it that's not healthy for any body! Eat pasta's with a hig fat sauce, eating rich foods can pack on the pounds as well. But also balance this all out with fruits, veggies, grains, and chocolate! Mmmmm!!! Once you've achieved your goal weight, then comes maintainence so that you don't go to the other extreme of being over weight. \n\nWhat also can help is eating pork rinds with sour cream or avacodo dip. Alot of people don't like pork rinds, but they are pure fat, and the taste grows on you. That's my favorite snack food and while it's high in fat, it curbs your appetite for something really bad like sweets and something that isn't going to satisfy you. The more natural you go with your weight gaining(real foods that haven't been altered with lower fat lower sugar content) the better. \n\nYou can have those double cappuccino's with real cream and real sugar, throw in a yummy pastry and you got a delicious snack at the coffee shop that you don't have to worry about. Cause honey you can pull this off and just always remember you're a wonderful person and you're going to look great no matter who sees you. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the most important "beholder" is you! Love yourself and others will fall in love with you!\n\nBest Wishes,\nAmanda

The answer is not cheesecake or junk food!\n\nIf you want to gain weight, the best weight to gain is muscle. It weighs more than fat and is better for you health-wise. \n\nIf you go into a gym like 24 hr fitness, they'll endorse protein supplements, but this is not necessary. I gained roughly 15 pounds of muscle without it. And, I've heard that once you start using it, your body relies more and more on it.\n\nWhat I did was work out regularly. I loved the gym and was in there every day. I don't think going every day is necessary. It's also good to complement your weight training with some cardio. Many trainers will say not to do more than 30 minutes if you are underweight and trying to gain, but I liked to be able to have some endurance so I would do as much as an hour without any problems. If you've never been in a gym before or aren't familiar with the equipment, find a friend that is knowledgeable and ask him/her to show you how to use it. It is important to know the correct ways to lift and what NOT to do to avoid injuries - some injuries take years to develop so it is important to proceed with caution! When in doubt, ask questions first.\n\nTo bulk up, you want to do less reps with higher weight/resistance. (To tone you do many reps at lower weights)\n\nI think as you become more active, you'll find that you can eat more. You'll burn it pretty fast anyway, but it is still important to have a balanced diet.

I would not suggest this as a healthy lifestyle, but If you eat lots of fats and sugars together like a burger with ice cream or a soda, then you will gain weight. It will put pounds on in no time. The key is to eat them together.  But for a  normal diet, you also need veggies and lean meat too. And dont consume too much sugar at one time for too long, cause it will throw your body off balance. Drink water too instead of pop, even though pop will make you plumper.
