This cannot happen in a few days.\n\nExercise to build up your muscles, and talk to a nutritionist (or go online) to get a good regimen that will help you gain some weight.\n\nPeople who are thin or fat can be in good OR poor health - these things don't necessarily correlate to each other.

easier as long as you realize that your weight will vary (due to water and muscle mass) and not get discouraged.  remember as you gain muscle mass, muscle is heavier then fat.

Well, I have a bit of the same problem. Like you, I've been lean my whole life. If you feel you are underweight, try going to see a doctor who can check out your thyroid. You may have what I have, hyperthyroid. So we burn off energy faster than the normal person which is why we stay lean. However, to gain weight consists of certain factors. For one, people will tell you to try eating more. Instead, write down what you eat for about a week and then compare it to the food pyramid. Based on what you eat, it will tell you what food to eat more of to gain weight. For me, I realized I needed to eat more carbohydrates. Be careful if people tell you to eat a lot of protein. Everything must be done in moderation. Too much protein can have an effect on female hormonic changes as well as other things not so good. Also, start weight lifting. This will increase muscle as well as weight (What's called BMI; you can look it up online). I hope I've been of some help.

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

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

I think this is an issue that people don't respect, because so many people focus on trying to lose weight, they can't understand why people can't gain weight.\n\nPossible options:\n\nLift weights, wait till you're older and your metabolism slows down.  \n\nI went to a doctor once for something similiar and didn't get much respect for it.  His suggestions were to eat hamburgers and milkshakes.  I would avoid much dramatic changes in your eating habits, like people who want to lose weight start adjusting slowly how much you eat, and lifting weights will help even if it increases your metabolism because once you build muscles you're less likely to lose them than you would fat if you're metabolism is higher as you suggest.  Good luck, just make sure you don't overdue the weight gain to fast so you're organs can adjust as well as when you are older and your metabolism slows you haven't swung yourself into being overweight.

Best way to gain muscle weight is through resistance training (weight lifting).  Get a book or a personal training so you learn the correct techniques/posture.

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.

You and I are in the minority - I've always been skinny too.  The simplest way to gain is to eat more calories or do less exercise.  Of course, muscle weighs more than fat so working out can help you gain mass too.\n\nYou need to eat some foods that are higher in calories, but they don't have to be junkfood.  Drink whole milk, full fat cheeses, leave the skin on poultry, choose a rich sauce on pasta instead of a vegetable one, and so on.  Myself, I don't like sweets but can end a meal with a nice cheese plate.  Get a calorie counter and pick out the hi-cal choices.  Or just get used to being thin - millions of people wish they were!

Just eat a little more of what you are eating. Like one more slice of bread, one more egg, a little bit more meat, extra scoop of ice cream, etc\n\nTake it slowly. In addition, do a little bit more exercise like weight training to stimulate growth.

i used to have your problem. 2 years ago i was extreemely underweight but i have since gained 40lbs (mostly muscle since my body fat percentage has remained the same). There is no such thing as being unable to gain weight. You just simply arent eating enough. if you are the same as me, then you would need to be eating 5-6 high protein full meals a day accomipanied by 3x a week weight lifting. click on my name and look at my replies in other threads if you want to know more.

i wouldnt try anything unhealthy. be careful. but, i really think you have no need to gain weight, unless you look really skinny, like a skeleton with bones. i have a friend like that, and she looks horrible. i have never tried to gain weight before, but maybe you could try some kind of health bar. if you work out, you will grow muscle. you wont look skinny anymore, but you will be nice and toned! :)

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.

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.

Gain weight in the form of muscle, use proteins like whey or soy and lean meats, nuts and beans.\n\nGain weight in the form of fat, eat everything bad for you.
