I am skinny and I want to get at least toned.  What should I do, and should I drink protein skakes afterwards?

Drink the shakes (if at all) in the morning.\n\nYou want o get tone not buff right?\n\nBodyweight excercises are the best. They give you a nice tone lean look. (most girls like that a lot more than really buff,but not all)\n\nAnd don't get discouraged, it takes anywhere from 3-6 months to see results.\n\nDo 30 push-ups  (there are different types\n \nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_3190_proper-push-.htm\n\n\nand 30 crunches (for abs) 10 forard (hold for 3 seconds on each one) 10 to the right/to the left (hold these for 3 seconds each as well)\n\nand run, whatever you can without getting exhausted, keep a nice steady pace, and don't stop.\n\nremember adjust those to whatever works and do them everyday or ever other day.\n\nnow diet: little or no sugar (it makes you feel bad anyways, you may feel bad for a few days, you can have withdrawls form sugfar depending on huw much u eat)\n\nFreash fruits/vegetable/meat, make sure to eat lean protein (mainly seafood) as well as at least one serving of red met protein.\nNothing with shelf life, no processed food, except oat meal and dried goods.\n\nAs far as supplements, don't go there they can end up being really bad for you)\nMake sure yout ake vitamins though.\n\n\nIt sounds hard but as far a rewards go it's well worth it, a nice tone body, feeling a lot better, and probably more attention from the ladies.\n\nany question contact me through answers.\n\nhope i helped and good luck.

Go to a heath store and buy a batch or two of those protein drinks.  They're designed to make you "bulk up".  If you don't exercise regularly while taking these, you'll gain weight for sure.

I would go for toned rather than skinny. You can only get so far down before it conflicts with your appearance. Some folks are just meant to be a bit bigger than others.

Eat more protein and excersise,yes you heard me right...excersise. your body still needs to be healthy and you need to gain in a healthy way.

Presumably you don't want to be fat, but bigger.  So I recommend lifting as heavy weights as you can, do the protien thing, and build up your muscle.  Now also keep in mind that this takes a long time.... so I guess if you want to gain wait quick...\n\nDrink Starbuck\neat McDonalds\nwatch too much tv

incorporate a lot of carbohydrates and protein in your food. try having 2 glasses of banana milkshake regularly.

The question is what do you want to achieve? Are you a skinny person who is trying to gain some weight?  Are you someone who is fat and trying to reduce their body fat?  Are you an athlete that is trying to maintain your energy and muscle mass?\n\nTake a look at body builders.  Take a look at high energy (Super Marathon, Iron Man, et al.) sport figures.\n\nThey eat 6 to 8 meals appropriately portioned throughout the day.\n\nIn general, it is a good practice to take less and less carbs in as the day goes by.  That is, eat your highest carb content in the morning, then mostly protein and fibers in the evening.\n\nYou might have also heard "carb loading". That is the eating practice when just before a huge energy output the athlete consumes large amounts of carbohydrates.  Carbs give a huge energy boost, but if it is not used up - you know where it goes.. Yep - fat.\n\nI have included some links to so some serious body building sites, and some others.\n\nRemember, you do not have to try to be them.  You do not have to "grow" a monster chest, to learn from them.\n\nBut the old addage holds true - "surround" yourself with the experts, and it will rub off on you.

Eat protein & exercise to build bulk. Otherwise you'll just be fat & flabby in the long run.

actually you can start lifting weights right now.  there are two types of lifting toning and building.  If you want to stay thin then you lift light weights high reps low weight.  It'll put on some lean muscle.  Plus its not what you weigh its how you look and feel.  throw me some mail if u have any other questions about weight loss or weight lifting.

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

dont eat more protein!.. Man ..some people ain't got a clue.., Any excess flab needs to shrink, cut out carbs, replace pasta, bread  dairy products, with rice, ryvita, & soya milk, plenty of water to. make sure you sweat at the gym, & tone up. you need to lose weight & flab before you start building muscle other wise you become all pear shaped & flabby. Oh & avoid sugar & coffee.

hit the gym, do core excercises like heavy squats, deadlifts, benchpress. those are the 3 main mass building moves. Make your diet high in protein and low in fat. you should be eating at least 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day in order to gain muscle.......good luck

it seems to be that you should at least be over 100 lbs. you should try to build muscle by lifting weight and definately eat more protein and fat. Try protein shakes, they are good if you add peanut butter to them. mmmmm...

eat a lot of protein. they are the building blocks of muscles. you should consider protein shakes. get a good exercise programme and stick with it.\neat half a banana before you train and the other half straight after, preferably with a shake. \nwith a good diet, thats high in protein, and a good work out progamme you should be able to do it easily.

Your body condition would get worse if you dont work out...you can eat like that...but you should exercise everyday even though you dont want to be skinny....~~!!  But tell you what....you cant slow down after you get fat, because your stomach would be bigger than before, and then you cant get back skinny again....== !!
