Whey protein is hands down the best. You do have to eat other stuff though. Eggs and tuna are good. Any kind of meat will work though. You need to add about 500 calories to your maintanance level too. Get your protein up to 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight. If your workout is in order you can gain as much as a pound a week naturally. More if you're unnatural so to speak.

Increasing starchy, sugary, and greasy foods is not a good idea. These are bad for your body. Even if you want to gain weight, your calories should come from foods that are good for you. Healthy fats include omega 3 oils like fish oils, flax, and nuts. Good sources of protein include organic meats, fish, and organic poultry. Increase the number of meals per day to 5 or 6 small balanced meals. Protein powders and shakes can be added as meals. Some are flavored and only need added water and some others can blended with water or your choice of juices to improve the taste. It would be a plus to add a small amount of flax seed oil and some psillium powder to add some healthy fiber. \n\nSupplements\nA good quality multivitamin and mineral supplement is a good idea. Some people find that their muscle mass improves with extra amino acid formulas. Some people who are very ill may need liquid nutritional preparations that are available through their doctors. \nExercise\nExercise is also important. Resistance training like lifting weights will tend to increase muscle mass more so than aerobic training which is better suited to losing fat. Resistance training can be done at a health club or with the proper equipment at home. \n\nIf you need to gain weight, it is possible to do so in a healthy manner with the right foods and exercise. Eating junk foods, sugary or greasy foods is not healthy. Neither are taking steroids or questionable supplements. Be sure that anything you take into your body is healthy.

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.

i. Eat more calories\nDo the math. Eat larger portions and eat at least five meals a day.\n\nii. Make smart choices\nFor example, choose dairy products, fish and meat over bread. Choose eggs over vegetables.\nEat foods with high protein content such as beans, pulses and peas, and foods with high starch content such as potatoes, rice and tapioca.\n\niii. Protein is important\nncrease your protein intake\n\niv. Snack a lot\nConsume a lot of high-calorie snacks (not junk food) such as cheese sticks, milk shakes, muffins, dried fruits, yoghurt and breakfast bars.\n\nv. Fluids help too\nDrink a lot of fluids that supply nutrients and calories; milk, fresh fruit juices and energy drinks are good examples.\n\nvi. Intensify workouts\nAerobics are great, right? Not for weight gain!\nYou need to exercise really hard and intensely to gain muscle mass\n\nii. Weights are the way to go\nFocus on free weight exercises (which do not require machinery) that target your large muscle groups. For example, you need dumbells, not fancy gym machines.\n\nviii. Space out your workouts\n\nIf you have a high basic metabolic rate -- which means you expend a lot of energy even at rest -- you need short intense workouts instead of long periods of low-stress activity.\n\nix. Creatine?\n\nx. Be consistent

All kinds of meats are an excellent source of protein, including chicken and turkey breast, pork, beef steak and ground beef, and other less common red meats such as buffalo. \n\nMany types of seafood also contain high levels of protein, including swordfish, haddock, orange roughy, tuna, and shellfish such as lobster, shrimp and crab. \n\nMost foods which are very high in protein are meat products, but there are many protein foods which are suitable for vegetarians, including dairy products such as cottage cheese, and other animal derived foods such as eggs. High protein plant based foods include whey and soy, which are readily available from health food stores in supplement form. \n\nCHICKEN – Chicken, the long time staple of a musclebuilding diet, contains approximately seven grams of protein per ounce and little fat in its boneless, skinless form. Because of this ideal nutritional profile, many bodybuilders include chicken daily as part of a musclebuilding diet. Chicken is one protein food that could use additional flavoring such as salsa, garlic, or seasoning salt to help spice it up if you plan on eating it on a consistent basis. Chicken is a great protein selection for any time of the day. \n  \nBEEF –Beef has a great musclebuilding profile supplying approximately seven grams of protein per ounce and ample amounts of iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 – all nutrients needed to support your immune system and help keep you healthy. Make sure to choose leaner cuts of meat, as adding extra calories from fatty pieces of meat isn't the best way of going about getting a muscular body. Include beef in your diet at least two to three times a week to ensure you have enough amino acids in your body to create an optimal musclebuilding environment\n\nFISH – Fish is one of the more functional protein sources due to its high amounts of essential fatty acids. Fish provides approximately seven grams of protein per ounce and is a very versatile food that can be prepared in numerous ways. If you're not a big fan of the aroma associated with fish, simply neutralize it by rubbing a lemon on the fish during cooking\n\nEGGS – When it comes to protein, eggs are near the top of the list, behind whey protein. To get the most benefit from the eggs in your diet, choose eggs that are omega-3 rich. Omega-3 acids (or linolenic acids) may increase the effectiveness of your immune system, helping you recover faster from your workouts. If you're trying to limit your fat intake, look for pasteurized egg-white cartons (which look similar to milk cartons) at your local grocery store. Low in fat and cholesterol, these are perfect for making egg-white omelets. One egg white carton contains approximately 22 grams of protein per 8 oz., making it a great choice for any time of the day. If you're a busy bodybuilder on the go, try hard boiling a dozen eggs and pack them in your cooler bag for protein convenience. \n\nDAIRY PRODUCTS – Protein foods like skim milk and low-fat cottage cheese fall in this category. Any of these dairy products would be a great fit in your musclebuilding diet. With every serving, you can expect to receive between 150 mg and 350 mg of calcium. Calcium is a vital mineral that helps form strong bones and plays a significant role in muscle contractions. Milk is an inexpensive, high-quality source of protein. The protein found in milk is composed of approximately 80 percent casein and 20 percent whey, which results in milk's high biological value, and digestibility.

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.

meat...white meat, especially turkey has a high protein to fat ratio, also if you can buy it ostrich is about the best for that. otherwise i would personally advise a regular diet of about 2500 cal(for a man) split into around 6 meals a day and supplement it with protein shakes and protein bars eg met-rx total nutrition, especially around 11am and most importantly straight after training if you are trying to gain size, as they have a good amount of protein, around 35 grams, and a good balance of vitamins and carbs.(the protein bars tend to have more fats and sugars so they taste better then they should, and they taste pretty bad at that) otherwise if you are trying to rip use whey shakes. Protein shakes are the fastest and easiest ways of getting a large amount of proteins into your system quickly. you may also want to consider creatine and hmb as supplements, as i presume you want extra protein to gain size.

Just to give you an idea, even elite bodybuilders who take several anabolic agents can only gain about 5-6 pounds of muscle mass per year.  10 pounds of lean muscle mass will take you years to achieve soley on training diet and supplements.  Just keep in mind that weight gain through weight training is often not purely muscle.\n\nTo build muscle, you require a balanced diet that provides approximately 500 more calories than your maintenance calorie intake level. (You can determine the actual amount of extra calories you require to gain muscle without gaining fat by checking changes in your body composition measurements.) You can also use the following calculator to assess your metabolic rates to ensure you maintain a daily calorie surplus to gain muscle.\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nAll the protein you require to build extra muscle should be contained in healthy whey shakes and lean meats you ingest, provided your diet is balanced properly.  A diet that provides 10%-15% of calories from protein is all that is required to grow lean muscle tissue. \n\nEnsure you carbs come from only good sources, no refined or sugar based carbs should be in your diet.  Complex carbs such as brown rice and potatoes are optimal for your training.  Balance that out with plenty of vegetables, some fruits and plenty of nuts and you should have a winning formula.  Although different foods react differently in certain metabolic types, most people generally respond to the above diet suggestions.\n\nFor weight training, here's a list of great exercises to get you started:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises.html\n\nYou may initally choose to stay away from cardio to maximize muscle growth, although eventually you'll need to incorporate it into your workout to shed bodyfat unless you have a very high metabolism.\n\nThe best supplement recommendation I can make without even hesitating is Creatine.  It's cheap, available and works very well to help you achieve strength and power gains which result in increased mass.\n\nHere's a great link on mass bulding that can give you more info on supplements and training for mass:\nhttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbinfo.php?page=MassGainPrograms

I'm assuming you are looking to bulk up and add muscle... If so simply consuming protein powder is not going to do it alone.  Protein helps to rebuild muscle that has been broken down but to gain weight you need to consume carbs (lots) and fats as well.  Try this:  5-6 meals a day consisting of 50 grams of protein, 150 grams of complex carbs, and 15-20 grams of fats (ie. canola oil).  Get a food scale and a book that explains food counts.  \nDon't eat junk and work your muscles so that you experience muscle fatigue (the burn) and soreness (a good sore not injured) after each training session - if you are not sore you have not worked hard enough!  In addition, look to a protein powder that also contains carbs for the extra calories.  You can use a shake to supplement or replace a meal.  Hope this helps...don't give up it can take a lot of hard work and comes easier for some people...I personally was very lean but it works - I went from 160 to 210 lbs and still lean over several years naturally.\nAs for the powder...most of the brand names are ok...

Even when you want to gain weight, your calories should come from foods that are good for you.\n\n- Cut out empty calorie foods such as sugary snacks and white flour foods. Breads, pastas and cereals should come from whole grains.\n- Good sources of protein include organic meats, fish, and organic poultry.\n- Drink protein-rich beverages (e.g. milk-based fruit shakes).\n- Have fruit juices between meals.\n- Munch on nuts and seeds, which are high in calories and many other nutrients.\n- Increase the number of meals per day to 5 or 6 small balanced meals.\n\nProtein powders and shakes can be added as meals. Some are flavored and only need added water and some others can blended with water or your choice of juices to improve the taste. It would be a plus to add a small amount of flax seed oil and some psillium powder to add some healthy fiber. \n\nYou may find these sites helpful:\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/pdfs/gaining_weight.pdf\nhttp://www.suplimednutrients.com/articles/healthy-weight-gain.php\n\nGood luck...

Cook meals at home. Stay away from eatting out. Stay away from sugar drinks and drink only bottled water. Tap water is loaded with flouride which causes weight gain. Walk at least 1 mile a day, up hill if at all possible..or more if you can! \n Cooking natural chicken and fish are the healthiest meats. And more importantly eat your veggies...except for starchy ones like potatos and corn! Good luck

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.

If your goal is to put on as much mass as your genetics will allow, consider the following. First off, in order to gain muscle you may also need to gain some fat. This may sound discouraging but there are ways to keep the fat weight to a minimum. Get yourself in tune to eating about 500 calories more each day, and be sure to spread meals out to 5 or 6 daily. Be careful though, most athletes try to get these extra calories through fat sources. \n\nIt's best to get these calories predominantly from lean sources of protein (e.g. chicken, whey protein, etc.), with some complex carbohydrate and essential fats thrown in the mix. Make sure the extra calories are coming from the recommended percentages of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. An increase in body weight of roughly 0.5 to 1.0lbs. per week is a reasonable goal. Anymore weight gain than that and you're risking the dreaded spare tire. \n\n For maximal gains in muscle mass, keep your reps between 5 and 12 and switch reps schemes every 3 to 4 weeks. This will keep the muscle guessing on what you're doing to it and keep you from overtraining. Now, here's the part that is guaranteed to get some of you hopping mad. DON'T TRAIN HEAVY ALL THE TIME. In other words, if you're training with reps of 10, don't train till failure every time you lift. And I don't care if you're natural or not. Your body will increase faster if you switch training intensity between light, medium, or heavy. \n\nTrust me, it works. You'll feel better, stay hungry for the gym, and you'll keep injuries to a minimum. If your main goal is mass, mass, mass, then I would keep aerobic training to a minimum. In fact, you may just want to keep aerobic training out of your training completely. I wouldn't do anymore than 20 minutes, 2 to 3 times per week. \n\nHere's an example of what a training program might look like. Now remember, this is not the magic program that you stick with for the rest of your life. In fact, I wouldn't stay on it any longer than 4 weeks. It's just an example. You need to switch things up every couple of weeks. \n\nNOTE: Click the exercise name to view the exercise and learn the correct form! \n\nMonday \n\n\nBench press 1x12, 10, 10 \nIncline press 1x12, 10, 10 \nMilitary press 1x12, 10, 10 \nSide-raise 3x12 \nTricep ext 3x12 \nKickback 3x12 \n\n Click Here For A Printable Log Of Monday! \n\nTuesday \n\n\nPull down 1x12, 10, 10 \nSeated Row 1x12, 10, 10 \nBent-over-raise 1x12, 10, 10 \nShrugs 3x12 \nBarbell Curl 3x12 \nDB Curl  3x12 \n\n Click Here For A Printable Log Of Tuesday! \n\nWednesday \n\n\nTake a day off.
