What about chocolate cake, can you eat that? With chocolate frosting, and lots of it. I would say icecream and milk but a vegan is a kind of vegetarian that can't eat something that does not kill the animal like its milk. What about cereal? There's some cereals that will put on weight if you eat too much of it. Also beer, lots and lots of beer will make you gain weight, if your old enough to drink. Also sleeping too much and not exercising should help.\n\nAlso theres that candy, fun dip, that's nothing more than pure sugar, grape flavored, orange flavored sugar, and those swizzle sticks is the same thing. 7-Eleven should have those. Lot's of coffee too with as much sugar as you can stand.

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

These are some points, which would help in increasing your weight:\n\nEating: The first important point to increase your weight is to eat well. Eat more than you burn calories. Eating food, which contains more fat is good for people who are thin. Drinking milk, cheese, chicken meat etc are some foods, which contain more fat.\n\nExercise: Most people think that thin people should not exercise, as they could get even thinner. But it is recommended that they exercise so that they feel hungrier and eat more. Taking nutritious food would help the body gain weight. Do not lift heavy weight dumbbells in a gym; instead opt for low weight and do more repetitions.\n\nThere are lots of weight gain supplements available in the market, but they are not recommended. Instead have good amount of protein-enriched foods, fruits and products, which contain more fat. Eating lots of protein and fat, as it is very helpful in increasing your weight. So why wait! Start NOW.

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.

Protein and carbohydrates! Vegetables! Eat three good meals a day, and two to three healthy snacks. Don't skip. And exercise. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you can get on a good regimen of lifting light weights, you can put on muscle and gain the weight. (Even if you just get 2 lb. dumbbells and work out your arms, you'll see a difference in a couple of weeks.)

The best way to increase your weight is to always exceed your daily energy requirements. Find out exactly how many calories you burn on a daily basis through an assessment of your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)& AMR (Active Metabolic Rate). Once you have these numbers, it's simple math. Ensure you are above or consuming more calories than your body burns on a daily basis and you should increase your mass with the appropriate weight training regimen. \n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1) always eat a heavy complex carb meal (pasta/rice)at least 1-2 hours before going to sleep.\n2) try weight gainer shakes at your local health food store.\n3) STAY AWAY FROM CARDIO (this really should be a short-term ideally since refraining from cardiovascular exercise can jepordize long-term health). For your purposes in the short-term, cardio will only hamper efforts to gain weight. If you don't have to run then walk, if you don't have to walk then stand, if you don't have to stand then sit, if you don't have to sit then lie down.\n4) weight training (if you are at least intermediate level) should not exceed 8 reps, especially on large muscle groups. Please seek the advice of a professional trainer before proceeding with heavy weights if you are not at least an intermediate level weight trainer. \n5) concentrate on multi joint and power movements such as squats and deadlifts for the largest spike in growth hormone during your workouts (again proceed only under supervision)\n6) never workout more than 90 minutes\n7) track your progress - it's the only way you'll find out what works for you\n8) sleep sleep and more sleep - minimum 9-10 hours to maximize growth.\n9) Drink plenty of water\n10) Creatine - probably one of the best ways to gain weight (if used properly) in the short-term.\n\nHere's a list of weight training exercises to help you:\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises.html

The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohal, and sodas. \n\nEat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.\n\nIn moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)\n\nPractice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.\n\nGo exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea. \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.

I used to be very thin.  I got no girls and the guys all thought I was weak even though I was actually pretty healthy and strong. \n\nAnyway, I stopped smoking cigarettes, and I started going to the gym.  I went kind of crazy but I recommend you go pretty heavy but slow and reasonable.  \n\nGet yourself a basic book on bodybuilding.  Basic!  \n\nDon't worry about supplements but here is the secret which made me gain 5o pounds in 5 months.  Eat like you are crazy.  \n\nI don't mean big amounts at one time but if you consume 800 quality calories every hour(set an alarm).\n\nI ate normal foods.  But absolutley not chocolate or candy.  This stuff will burn off too quickly.\n\nI ate alot of chicken sandwiches with cheese and monster cheese burgers. Fried chicken, potato salad.  Vegetables are important but eat those last after you ate some heavy stuff.  \n\nAnd finally, don't go overboard.  Thin people look really cool in their clothes.  And later in life you will be happy to be thin and probably increase you life span by staying thin.  \n\nBut, right now you want chics and that is understandable.  Put on about 15 kilos and be done with it.  You won't lose it again after you gain it.\n\nI am glad I put on wieght, but right now I have a nice middle sized body and I am not sef conscious at all.  \n\nAlso, get somoe cool clothes.  You don't have to spend a lot of money but try to fashion it up a bit.  \n\nAnd also, getting girls is a numbers game.  You said you don't "attract" the girls.  How do you know?  Anyway, it doesn't normally work like that.  You have to be proactive and learn that if you get rejected, that is just one more rejection closer to the one(or two) that are going to say OK.\n\nAlso, you are pretty young.  Girls your age are somtimes pretty shallow.  They care about cars, money, popularity, etc.  The wonderful thing about those kind is that they are very easy to manipulate once you finally turn the tables. \n\nAnd you won't feel guilty about manipulating them.  They are bitches right?\n\nBut don't treat the nice ones bad.  Treat them nice and appreciate them.  But, always kind of keep in mind that you could get burned by a chic that you really like.  If you are prepared for it and realize that there is always another one then this won't hurt you.\n\nWomen sometimes call us pigs but sometimes they create the loathsome woman-haters by showing themselves to be unworthy of a man's sincerety.  It works the other way too.\n\nGirls your age would prefer to get the shalloe glory from telling their friends who they rejected, than to just actually have a boyfriend and be getting shagged.  \n\nBut later, after about age 25, if you haven't already turned the tables then the table will turn automatically.\n\nThey will be getting fat and old and leeching for a man to marry.  While a man usually just gets more distinguished looking with age.  And you, you will be your tall svelt self, and buddy, you will be dangerous.

I'm assuming you're hypothyroid? That's the most common thyroid condition resulting in weight gain.  First off it takes a couple months for thyroid levels to even out after you start taking synthetic thyroid hormone.  Secondly, you'll need to start an exercise program in order to boost your metabolic rate.  You'll also need to consume enough calories to fuel your body, and vary the sources from which you're getting your proteins.  Are you vegan, or will you eat lacto/ovo?  Following a vegetarian diet can be dangerous with a thyroid condition - there may be certain nutrients that you cannot metabolize due to your thyroid - for example, you may not be able to convert betacarotene into Vit A.(the only sources of true Vit A are animal).  The previous poster was correct in stating that you should seek the advice of a nutritionist; I would also suggest a visit to an endocrinologist.

Obviously, you want to gain muscle. In order to do that, you must train them using heavy resistance. The rule of thumb is, in order to gain weight, you must eat more calories than you burn. I'm willing to wager that you're a tall skinny guy, correct? So your metabolism is probably very fast and you have a hard time gaining weight. I recommend doing barbell curls and/or close-grip chin-ups (palms facing your face). Your goal is to do 3 sets of each exercise, with a weight you can handle for no more than 10 repetitions. If you can do more than 10 repetitions, add more weight. Using barbells or dumbells may be easier for you to use, in the beginning, opposed to body weight exercises like the chin-up. However, you should still try to implement the chin-up. It develops good biceps strength and size as well as good upper back stength and size. The most efficient way to gain weight, is to incorporate the squat, deadlift, and bench press. These are movements refered to as, compound movements. The reason is, they stimulate multiple muscle groups when you perform them. The more muscle you stimulate, the more growth potential you have. So eat a lot of good quality food like: rice, potatoes, green vegetables, fruit, eggs, lean meat, and nuts. Learn to read food labels to know how much energy/calories are in the foods you eat. Start eating about 3000 calories a day for the first week. If you're gaining weight, keep the calories the same until you stop. If you're not gaining weight, add 500 more calories. It's reasonable to add 1-2 lbs/.5kg-1kg per week, of body weight. Good luck!

How old are you? if you're still young which I am assuming you are, try not to focus on it too much because it's not as important as you think. Other than that beans, legumes mushrooms rice and pasta will all help you put on weight. dont eat refined foods though like white rice or white bread.

I'm trying to gain weight right now too.  I lost a bunch of weight when I had the flu this winter.  I'm muscular and in good shape, just a little thin.  Here's what is working for me:\n\nLots of protein.  Peanut butter, eggs, anything with loads of protein.  You can also try protein shakes, but be sure to get one low in sugar.  Some of them have LOADS of sugar.\n\nLift weights.  I hate lifting weights, so I do pushups and pullups, anything to build muscle.\n\nRun.  Or do anything the works out your cardiovascular system.  If you don't, all of the protein that you are consuming can quickly turn to fat and not muscle.
