The SAFER way to gain weight is to eat slightly larger porportions of the food you eat now. By increasing your calorie intake, you will gain some weight, but not a lot like eating a bunch of junk food and sitting around will do.

Eat, and eat massively.  Gaining mass is hard, but you can do it if you work out and eat a lot.  Try to eat a lot of protein and fat.  Your body needs fat to produce testosterone for building muscle.

If you are trying to gain weight and do it properly go see a nutritionist, or even an employee over at GNC. There are supplements that you can take to help you gain weight. Since it sounds like you have a quick metabolism,  you should eat every 2-3 hours with proteins and carbs. Avoid the sugar, although a bowl of ice cream before bed will surely help you put on some pounds. But try and do it the healthy way.

How To Gain Weight \n\n\n\nThis one seems like a no-brainer, eh? How do you gain weight? You eat. You cannot gain weight without eating... in the exact opposite of losing weight, actually, you cannot gain weight without consuming more calories than you burn off. \n\nThe bigger question, in our weight-loss worshipping world, is why would you want to gain weight? Fact is that sometimes we become too thin, dangerously so, to the point where we begin to suffer all these negative side effects and eventually death. Sometimes gaining weight is a pretty attractive option by comparison. Being at a healthy weight helps every system of our body function better, allows us to heal from damage, and gives us reserves as protection against stress or illness as well. \n\nThe tougher part of weight-gain is how to do it in a healthy manner. Just as rapid weight-loss can be dangerous, so can rapid weight gain. Many EDs who go through rapid recovery end up with too high a bodyfat percentage, too much fat stored around their internal organs, compromised health, and high cholesterol. This is in part because traditional anorexic "recovery" diets are aimed at bulking up the patient as quickly as possible by fat-loading everything they eat with no thought for the health quality of the food being given. \n\nIt's safer to aim for a gain of one or two pounds a week so as to not put undue stress on your recovering system and to know that you're rebuilding bone, muscle, and nutrient stores instead of just frantically storing fat. It's more important to restore your body's protein, elemental, vitamin, water, fat and sugar balances than to simply send the numbers on the scale up. Once you do this, given sufficient raw materials your body will rebuild itself more strongly. \n\n\n\nIn The Beginning\n\nIf you're deciding to gain weight, odds are it's because you're underweight. If you're underweight, barring a purely illness-related weight-loss problem which should really be addressed by a doctor instead, you have probably not been eating enough. If you haven't been eating enough for a while, your digestive system will need to be retrained. Same goes for extended or extensive purging... it screws with your entire system, and there will need to be plenty of time devoted to patience and healing. \n\nExtended periods of time with insufficient solid food intake causes your entire digestive system to slow down and lose efficiency. Amounts of digestive chemicals in production may drop, and the tiny fingerlike cilia that absorb foods in your small intestine may become paralyzed or die off. The peristaltic muscles that move food through your system may weaken or atrophy. Large meals or a lot of food at once may confuse your stomach and intestines to the point where they cramp up and have trouble remembering what to do at all. All this will need to be repaired slowly, given time to reaccustom itself to the concept of processing and utilizing food again. \n\nStart with liquids. Rehydration is extremely important, since without food our overall water content drops significantly, and the digestive process requires a great deal of water. In the first few days of refeeding you may notice a sudden gain of several pounds... this is most likely, if you're doing everything right, your water balance trying to straighten itself out. You may feel bloated for a while as this happens and it's extremely important that you allow it to take care of itself and do not try to correct it with diuretics; limiting caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, may be a good idea here. Potassium can also act as a mild diuretic but do not try to limit that, as it's an important electrolyte and part of rehydration is bringing your electrolytes back up to a good strong level. You may benefit more from drinking water and juice between meals, instead of with meals, as liquids during meals can make your stomach feel fuller and may slow digestion a bit. C

Ask your doctor to give you a referral to a Dietician.  They will give you a specialized diet plan to help you gain weight the proper way. Make sure you eat 3 good meals a day and 3 good snacks in between.  Junk food will put weight on you but not the kind you need!

Gain muscles by eating a good diet with extra protein and lifting weights.  Make sure you are getting at least 2000 calories a day by keeping track, like dieters.  While doing that, you can see if you have a balanced diet.  Don't just start eating fatty foods to gain weight.  You will cause health problems.  If you keep a record of what you eat, you also have the proof to shut people up.

Ok, that converts to 140 pounds so you are slightly underweight.  The only ways to gain weight are to increase your muscle mass or to eat more calories than you burn.  I don't think you want to gain as much as 80 kg....73 kg would do it.\n\nSo, exercise to bulk up or increase the calories you normally consume in one day but keep them as healthy calories (no fats or fried foods) so you don't clog your arteries.

To gain weight in a healthy manner there are a few options:\n\n1.) You can eat more. There are some weight gainer formula shakes which can be taken daily.\n\n2.) You can exercise more.\n\n3.) a combonation of both. \n\nFrom personal experience I recommend #3. I used to weigh only 140 at 5'11" and now weight 185. If your wife is excercising regularly make sure she is not doing too much cardio. Cardio is the ultimate weight reducer. Even one cardio session can have a lasting effect on how energy gets metabolized. Muscle is denser than fat so the goal is to keep and build as much muscle as possible. (without looking like a freak of nature). Couple that with some extra protien foods like eggs and shakes and you have a good combo at hand.

To gain fat: Eat thousands of calories of junk food daily\n\nTo gain muscle: Make sure you get enough protein. A good target to shoot for is 1 gram per pound of lean body mass. Also, exercises of any type will help to stimulate certain muscles - causing them to grow. Also, it is important to be sure that you are hypercaloric to a degree. Your body must have a surplus of calories in order to ensure that there is enough left over to build muscle.

i have always been skinny and wanted to gain weight.  Everyone told me to drink milk but it never worked for me, but it probably depends on the person and their metabolism and stuff.

FIRST ! calm down. Second, just eat something that you can eat, that has a lot of calories. Don't worry, im flipping skinny too :]. Well, im a girl, but whatever. Just eat something you can fit into your stomach, and don't stuff yourself, eat something with A lot of calories, A lot.  \n\nWeight Gain \n\n1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. Don't change anything, just eat like you normally would and count how many calories you consumed. This is an extremely important step, so try to be as exact as possible. Also, weigh yourself. 2) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories MORE then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would now eat 2500 calories a day. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5-6 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. To get big, you have to eat big! Remember that. 3) Weightlifting! Get in the gym and lift! This is another important step to how to gain weight, so make sure you are doing it correctly. For more information on weightlifting workout routines and splits, read the workout routines and splits section. 4) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice your gaining just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 10lb increase. Gaining anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthy and means your putting on way to much fat. So look for 1 or 2 pound gains at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can be gaining 5-8 pounds a month! 5) Heres an important one. At some point, you will stop seeing weight gain. At this point, you will have to eat even more. So, when you stop gaining for at least 2 weeks, it means it is time to start eating an extra 250 calories a day. Every time you see you haven't gained weight for at least 2 weeks, add an extra 250 calories. More tips for how to gain weight (extremely important!) - Stay away from fat! Eventhough weight gain is your goal, you don't want to be gaining fat. Get rid of the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. Stick to high protein low fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey, lean meats, fruits and vegetables etc. (For more information, read the diet and nutrition section. - WATER! Drink water! Drink around a half gallon a day, more if you can. Yes thats alot of water, but its that water that will give you the energy you need to gain that weight! - Sleep! YES! Sleep! The easiest, yet most over looked step. Get atleast 8 hours of sleep a night. Your gonna need it! Now the concern some people have about how to gain weight, is how to do it without putting on extra fat. Let me tell you how, YOU CAN'T! Unless you are using steroids, it is basically impossible to gain weight without putting on a little bit of extra fat. But hey, you want to see some weight gain right? Well then who cares about the little bit of extra fat you might put on while gaining. You will be able to burn that off later on, right now gaining is your main concern, so that is all you need to worry about.
