I have an 17 year old daughter who is at this time 5'6 91 lbs.\nWe have started a program of 500 calories a day more than her normal eating habits of 1000 calories a day and within\na month we hope to have her at 2000 calories a day.\nWe have also started a cardio and weight training program to gain lean muscle mass not fat, Lot's of pasta, chicken, fish, fruit, whole milk, and protein shakes we prefer Muscle milk for it's taste and calories.Good eating habits are hard to keep up with at any age but you can get pretty creative with good foods and protein shakes.REMEMBER GAIN MUSCLE NOT FAT  good luck

The most important answer to this question is another question.  What type of weight are you trying to gain?  If the answer you want is any as long as the scale goes up.  Your answer is all of the above or what ever you can get and keep down.  If you are strictly trying to put on muscle, the only good answer is proper nutrition and time.

put on muscle, maybe a little fat.  but if he's 25 chances are this is the body he's going to have

Lift heavy and only do a few reps like 3 or 4 and only do 3 or 4 sets. Make it hard to lift but not so heavy you can't.

Get enough weight to where you can only lift it about 10-12 reps.  Then wait a while, drink some water and do another set.  Do three sets of this about 3-4 times a week.

Firstly you need to consider your calorie intake and increase this to around 2000 calories.\n\nListed is a healthy eating plan to put on weight: \nBreakfast - 3 oranges squeezed + 2 pieces of toast w baked beans & one boiled egg \nSnack - 2 long savoury biscuit w cheese & tomato\nLunch - 2 soy & linseed sandwiches w butter, ham, cheese, tomato gilled OR 3 egg omlette w cheese, ham, tomato.\nSnack - banana & honey smoothie (full cream milk) \nDinner - always eat rice/noodle or pasta based meals with plenty of vegies and protein. \n\nThis should do it GOOD LUCK!

Eat and exercise.\n\nMuscles weigh a lot more than fat. Keep in mind it doesn't happen instantly.

Eat protein, whey, and exercise. Body building would probably be best, but even runnng is good.

You don't want to lift weights to loose weight. You have to run, play basketball/football. Cardio stuff like that. And drink lots of water. Like 2 gallons a day.

Go to a gym and ask a professional trainer he/she should be able to tell you.... It's all down to exercise and how much you do at the moment....\n\nYou start off on a low weight and increase but it's all down to the individual on how much that person can lift.... I used to do weights with a friend and we both went daily.... I used to lift 2-3 times the weight she did so it's down to each person....\n\nVery good question but I would say hard to answer as it's down to your phsyical weight height and strength really... If you do weights at the moment, jsut increase it every so often if the weights you're lifting seem very easy and llight then increase it a few more, if you feel the strain on the increase keep it at that weight until you find that one easy, but don't increase it drastically just a small amount at a time and gently build it up....\n\nGood luck

- push ups and chin ups:  use your own weight as your weight.\n- get a job doing something that requires lifting, like construction or stockboy\n---oh - you could buy weights!  try a resale place cause this is stuff that people buy and then never use!

What is it exactly you want to know?\n\nIf you are looking to put on muscle weight, then consider this:\n\nWithout doing much, you could start by reading Mens Health and Muscle & Fitness Magazines. Both are published by Joe Weider Inc. Both have great workout routines in them and advice on diet, fitness, health, supplementation.\n\nI would reccomend that you start by hitting the weight room, 4-5 times per week. Lifting with Compund exercies first, then isolation exercises. 4-5 sets of each, with 1-2 of them being warm up exercises. 9-12 rep range is good for muscle mass, and definition and stamina. Rest each body part 4-7 days. So if you do Chest on monday, dont do it till at least friday.\n\nWhen it comes to supplementation you will use the minimum:\n1 multi vitamin pill per day\ntribulus\nWhey protein or whey protein isolate. Depending on allergies, you may want to use a Soy protein. you should use 2-3 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight in your daily diet to gain muscle (you still need to lift weights though and stick with it. It takes a long long time. It took me 2 years to put on 35 pounds of muscle.) Take some in the morning when you wake up, mid day, and as part of your post workout drink.\nI would also reccomend taking L-Glutamine as part of your post workout routine.\nTake something with creatine. This stuff is well documented. I would reccomend BSN Nutrition NOxplode. IT has creatine, arginine, and others as well as nitric oxide. Take this for your pre workout routine, about 30-45 minutes before your workout. It takes awhile for your body to absorb the creatine.\n\nThat should be the core of your supplement routine. Do not rely on the protein powder to get you all of your protein in a day.\n\nRemember to do cardio at least 3 times a week 60-75% of your max heart rate (MHR) which is 220-your age. for about 30 min each session. If i do legs, I do cardio after. Sometimes I will split it, 15-20 min before, 15-20 min after. You have to burn the fat to show your hard work!!\n\nDo abs at least 3 times a week. focus more on form and crunching the muscle, than how many reps you do.\n\nTHis should help.\n\nIf you need more advice, feel free to email me, I would be glad to help you out.

Try a weight gainer...there are several ways to consume it, for example with drinks or shakes.  We also have weight gainer ice cream.  Take a look at the source below for ideas.  \n\nGood luck!
