Yep, especially if you aren't getting any exercise. A little exercise can go a long way in preventing weight gain

It depends on what you do throughout your day. If you lead an active life you will be fine. If you happen to sit behind a desk all day then yes, a protein shake should not be a part of your diet. A meal replacement, which is slightly different but the same concept, would be the way to go if you are sedentary(sitting behind a desk all day). Meal replacements use proteins that break down slower in your stomach giving you more time to digest it. They usually have less sugar and calories as well.

Eat a little less, but mostly eat fruits & vegetables.  Since your job doesn't require much activity,  you must get some kind of exercise after or before work,  and  on the week-ends.  It can be something fun.  It can be doing exercises.  It can be walking with a walkman.  But if you choose walking, you must walk fast and walk consistently.

Yes.  Assuming your working out, it goes straight to building and repairing muscles, which weigh more than fat, which will cause you to gain weight.  It will probably work even if youre not working out, just more slowly.

No and you won't get fat off of rice as long as you eat it in moderation.  If you sit down and eat 2 cups then yeah your going to get fat.

Find out your maintenance calorie mark, the number of calories you burn without doing any strenuous exercise during the day.  Then add 250-500 calories per day.  This will help you gain about a pound a week or about 52 pounds a year.  That should be easy enough.  Unless you're trying to put on flab, I'd recommend weight training and *some* cardio to go along with it.  In which case, you'd probably want to add an additional 300-500 calories.  Eat *lots* of complex carbs (oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, etc.) and more protein (chicken, fatty fish, lean steak) and a little more fat (mostly from oils such as flax seed, fish oil, peanut oil and other sources such as natural peanut butter).  You'll be bigger *and* healthier in no time.  Eat 6 big meals throughout the day.  It will boost your metabolism but you won't spike your insulin as much (again if you want to gain in a healthy manner).  \n\nIf you really do want to gain weight and don't care about your health, then whoppers, milk shakes, french fries at least once a day and no exercise should do the trick.

No, you are probably active and have a high metabolism. Try cutting out an activity each day and adding one full meal to your schedule instead. You'll gain weight.

Of course. Eating more calories than you are putting out will cause you too gain weight.

yes because the muscle you gain in your stomach continuously burns fat even when u aren't exercising.  trust me, my athletic trainer told me!

It depends upon what else you are eating in the day. But this is a terrible menu plan nonetheless. There are better ways to increase weight in any case. Consult a doctor for information on how to lose weight.

Josh, you will actually gain more weight by not eating, than by eating.  When you eat, your body digests the food and turns it into energy.  This process raises your metabolism, which is what helps you burn fat.  When you don't eat, your metabolism slows down, decreasing your ability to burn fat.  At your age, you need to think healthy, not in terms of pounds.  Eat within 30 minutes of waking up to kick-start your metabolism, then try to eat a snack mid-morning, lunch, a snack mid-afternoon, and dinner.  This way, your metabolism stays revved up.  A couple of secrets..avoid soda pop.  Too much sugar and lots of empty calories.  Also pay more attention to fat grams than carbs.  Fat is fat and your body knows it.  You will burn off the carbs if you workout or exercise.

If you need to gain 30 pounds just keep eating. Also, you can just stop walking and exercising. You might as well hire a butler to bring you your food all the time and just sit on the sofa and do nothing. You should do this for about two or three weeks.Maybe even a month.

yes! its so horrible being a woman sometimes. You can gain up to ten pounds during this time. The best thing to do is drink herbal teas. green tea or calmomile tea is good. It will flush the toxins out of your body and help reduce retention. Unfortunatley even though you dont feel like eating fruit and vegetables, it is the only thing that will keep the retention to a minimum.\nDont get too obsessed with the weight thing. Just cut out junk,drink loads of water and exercise. Good luck anyway :D

not if you realize the fact that you might eat to take the place of smoking and only eat healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables or drink a lot of water or chew gum or get one of those plastic cigarettes from cvs that helps you put something in your mouth besides smoking a real cigarette it has a little nicotine to help ween you. but once you quit you will have more energy for excercising so take advantage of it and that wil help you not gain weight also.

It doesn't directly contribute. It is natural for you to want to relax after eating because your body is putting a lot of energy into digesting your food. Now if you stay sitting or laying down and don't exercise daily, that will make you gain weight.
