To increase your weight you can eat lots of healthy snacks throughout the day and also workout 2x -3x per week doing strength training. I would recommend high protein and high calories healthy snacks such as chicken minus skin, lean beef and turkey minus skin. Fit in some different kinds of nuts and peanut butter throughout the day with whole-wheat breads as well. \nYou can read healthy alternatives at www.caloriesperhour.com and they have a section on the forums where they talk about gaining weight =).\nI would also recommend talking to a doctor about your weight decrease as it might be something physical. \n\nGood luck to you!

There is a healthy way to gain weight.  If you want to gain weight increase you're carb intake.  A favorite of mine is to eat just whole grain bread with a lot of peanut butter on it.  It contains a lot of carbs and protein, and not a lot of fat.  Also you could eat any number of carbs, make sure they are whole grains, like brown rice of whole wheat bread and such.  Don't be concerned with getting fat, but if you work out and haven't increased your calorie intake that could be thinning you out.  Take in like 3000-3500 calories per day if you are trying to gain weight.  Cottage cheese is a good source of protien and good fat.  Tuna fish is loaded with protein and essential fatty acids.  You would do well with red meat like beef that has a lot of protein and fat.  Lean meats that are high in protein are chicken breast and turkey.  Either one will help with lean mass.  Stay away from empty carbs like potato chips or candy because you'll be on here asking how to lose weight in a few months.  All in all thought load up on protein, not fat.  I personally take in one gram or protein per pound of body weight.  It is tough to achieve unless you take some sort of protein supplement which are relatively cheap and 100% safe.  The is no such thing as too much protein.

HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT HEALTHFULLY \n\n1. Eat consistently. Every day, have three hearty meals plus one to three additional snacks. Do NOT skip meals! You'll miss out on important calories that you need to accomplish your goals.\n\n2. Eat larger than normal portions. Instead of having one sandwich for lunch, have two. Eat three potatoes at dinner, instead of only two. Have a taller glass of milk, bigger bowl of cereal, larger piece of fruit. \n\n3. Select higher calorie foods. Read food labels to determine which foods have more calories than an equally enjoyable counterpart. \n\n4. Drink lots of juice and milk. Beverages are a simple way to increase your caloric intake, quench your thirst with calorie.\nHowever, remember that drinking water is important too as it gives you the energy to gain weight.\n\n 5. Do strengthening exercises (weight lifting, push-ups) to stimulate muscular development so that you bulk-up instead of fatten up. Some underweight people are afraid exercise will result in weight loss rather than weight gain. If that is your case, remember that exercise tends to stimulate the appetite; you will want to eat more. (Yes, exercise may temporarily "kill" your appetite right after a hard workout, but within a few hours, you will get hungry.) Exercise also increases thirst; you will easily be able to drink extra juices.\n\n\n6. (extremely important!)  Stay away from bad fat! Even though weight gain is your goal, you do not want to be gaining fat and eating junk. Get rid of the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. Stick to high protein, low (saturated) fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey,  rice, pasta, fruits and vegetables, nuts.\n\nGOOD LUCK\nHaya

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!

Before attempting any drastic change, the best thing to do would be to go to a doctor. They can tell you exactly how much weight you need to gain to be 'average' which will make you healthier.\n\nThe best way to put on weight is with a diet of things like potatos, pasta, rice, meat and dairy products, but make sure you still try and eat five portions of fruit or veg a day. Also, have three square meals a day.

aim to gain slowly - half a pound to a pound a week is great\navoid getting fat - good rule of thumb - for every 6 lb weight gain your stomach measurement should increase no more than 1/2 inch - if it does = fat\n\nweight train 3 times a week - keep the session short - say an hour and go as hard as you can on basic exercises - squat, bench, chins, rows and curls etc\n\ndo light aerobics twice a week to keep up a general fitness - but no more than 20 mins though\n\neat big at least  6 times a day - with protein source and fruit or veges in each meal - and on top of that have at least 3 protein shakes, one before you go to bed at night \n\nhave another protein shake in the fridge and if you wake up during the night down it too

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.

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.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/idssports10.htm  Try one of these programs.  The first work-out plan should help gain mass.  However, instead of 10-12 reps, try doing twice the number of sets with around 6 reps per set.  Change the work-out after a couple of months.\n\nBasically, to gain mass, you have to go for less reps (like 6 reps per set) and lots of weight.  Make sure you do each rep correctly (if you do it incorrectly, even with a lot of weight, you will barely gain anything).  Also, you have to eat a lot of food (healthy, not junk).  Don't just eat protein, but if you want extra protein, I suggest eggs and lean meats like chicken.  Start going to the gym more.  Concentrate on specific muscle groups each day (e.g. triceps, chest, shoulders one day; biceps, back, abs the other day).  Don't forget to work on cardiovascular work through running.

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...

Obviously, you want to gain muscle. In order to do that, you must train them using heavy resistance. The rule of thumb is, in order to gain weight, you must eat more calories than you burn. I'm willing to wager that you're a tall skinny guy, correct? So your metabolism is probably very fast and you have a hard time gaining weight. I recommend doing barbell curls and/or close-grip chin-ups (palms facing your face). Your goal is to do 3 sets of each exercise, with a weight you can handle for no more than 10 repetitions. If you can do more than 10 repetitions, add more weight. Using barbells or dumbells may be easier for you to use, in the beginning, opposed to body weight exercises like the chin-up. However, you should still try to implement the chin-up. It develops good biceps strength and size as well as good upper back stength and size. The most efficient way to gain weight, is to incorporate the squat, deadlift, and bench press. These are movements refered to as, compound movements. The reason is, they stimulate multiple muscle groups when you perform them. The more muscle you stimulate, the more growth potential you have. So eat a lot of good quality food like: rice, potatoes, green vegetables, fruit, eggs, lean meat, and nuts. Learn to read food labels to know how much energy/calories are in the foods you eat. Start eating about 3000 calories a day for the first week. If you're gaining weight, keep the calories the same until you stop. If you're not gaining weight, add 500 more calories. It's reasonable to add 1-2 lbs/.5kg-1kg per week, of body weight. Good luck!

The best way to gain weight and still be healthy is to eat more protein, less carbs and lift weights, smaller amounts of weight but more reps.  I also eat about five to six small meals a day to keep my body energized.
