You could excersise alot and run alot.  If you do that you will be losing fat but you will be gaining muscle and muscle is heavier then fat.

Yes, you should eat a lot like the people above have said, but try to make sure it's healthy foods. Protein, dairy, fruits, veggies are all good. Also, remember that muscle weighs more that fat does. The more muscle you have, the more weight you will have without looking like you're fat. That means you should hit the weight room a couple times a week and really work out. Building muscle will help you gain weight but keep the fat off.\n\nBesides that, try not to worry about your weight TOO much. If you play well, it's better than a gigantic person who can squish other people but can barely play at all. Good luck at football!

speed - run up and down your team stadium. use leg weights if u can get em.\n\nsize - stick to the 4 food groups with plenty of fatless meats. learn multiple weight lifting exercises from your coaches since your probably in your offseason.\n\nits gonna take a LOT of commitment. alternate days working out cardio one then weights then cardio and so forth mon - sat.

eating healthy and u have to excersize a little just play basketball or another sport our just walk a little...do jumping jacks in front of the tv, or pushups, or stretches, or sit-ups...cut calories, eat dairy, eat fruits and vegies, excersixe about 30 minutes like playing a sport or something about 3 or 4 times a week. Don't take those weight loss pills they can be addicting and bad for u like steroids...don't take a lot of vitamins

Protein and carbohydrates! Vegetables! Eat three good meals a day, and two to three healthy snacks. Don't skip. And exercise. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you can get on a good regimen of lifting light weights, you can put on muscle and gain the weight. (Even if you just get 2 lb. dumbbells and work out your arms, you'll see a difference in a couple of weeks.)

get in the weight room as much as possible, work on your coordination (hand-eye/ hand-feet coordination), run and eat right, also might want to talk to the coach, probably could help you out

Talk to a local college football coach or trainer. They will gladly help you. I would suggest that you do power lifting training. Off season work on your major muscles - legs, back, chest. work on your cardio and speed, too. You don't want to get so bulky that you lose speed and/or quickness. Consume a lot of healthy calories in order to keep your muscles growing while fitting in your cardio and speed drills.

Yeah the fastest and easiest and funniest is swimming... I know I know... maybe you don't have the money to do it... But if you live where a YMCA is you can go there anc get finacing I only had to pay 20 dollars a month for myself and my three other family members a month not bad and I lost the weight and it wasn't really work as I love to swim... another way is to walk in your free time... every other half hour or hour.. for 30 mins walk anywhere hills flat land what ever just do it.. sometimes your worse problems will be solved through walking plenty of timet o think.. and the wieght comes off. Drink 8 glass of water each day and then on top of that drink a glass and a half at least before every meal.. it fills you up faster... make your meal portions no bigger then your fist as your stomache is only supose to be as big as your fist.... so limit your protion sizes.. DOn't eat out to much once a week is fine to treat yourself stay away from the chocolate once a week is fine give yourself a treat for your work.. Don't deprive yourself when your hungry find a heathly snack canned fruit is good.. if you want to lose the weight fast and keep it off then do as I say and you will lose.. I weighed 199 lbs at 14 years old I lost 100 lbs in two months walking every other half hour drinking plenty of water before and after meals and 8 glass of water a day beyond that... I looked felt and sounded great. good luck to you .. I am now also on this diet trick again myself.. and fighting to lose my baby fat from my two girls I had I am 31 now.. and at 138 lbs... I have never gotten back up to the 199 lbs and don't plan to either but I would defently like to lose 30 lbs.... to get to my actual love weight lol. 110 is my goal.. wish you lived near by I would walk with you and we could keep each other company and going .. I ll pray for you and I hope you do the same for me.

You can't do much about it, it is hereditory.  The best you can do is to keep yourself in good physical shape.  I once read that the shape you are is the strongest, and that many football players are shaped that way.  Just try to make sure that a lot of it is muscle and not only fat.

Speed weight training is an old and effective technique for staying in shape and gaining speed. \n\nThe concept is: when weight training one should used a medium to high-medium size weight, and instead of slowly moving up and down, lift in short quick spurts until body is winded. It is important to learn when your body is physically tired versus when you are just out of breath.\n\nTo compliment the weight training, a strong running schedule is VERY important. Mixing sprints and long runs will keep your legs in an athletic mode through the off-season.\n\nNote: When attempting speed weight training you should have a someone experienced there to make sure you are doing it right. The pros use the method, but they do have professional watching over them. If you have a gym membership of some kind a trainer should be able to tell you whether or not you are doing it right.

Eat foods that are high in protein and carbohydrates, these will give the body the energy it needs to help you exercise for longer periods of time.  Eating spaghetti or some other type of pasta is the best way to get carbs into your body.\n  Exercise is the best way for you to "bulk up", start with something simple like walking, jogging then running round your block, then do the same but include going through a park.  Once you can run these courses with ease, throw in a few obstacles for you to jump or climb over.\n  Also try going to the gym.  Most people at the gym are more than willing to help you with your training while your learning, the most important thing to remember is not to expect changes immediately, they will come with time, as will the weight.  Muscle weighs more than fat, you don't want to be a fat kid (unless your a lineman in football), fat kids get bullied more easily because they can't fight back.\n  Take it slow and easy, don't push your body too hard, you will only injure yourself!\n  Good luck kid!  I hope you make it!

David's advice isn't really correct and there's a good chance his 60 second strategy will cause an injury that would really slow you down.\n\nI played college football, so for 8 months of every year my life revolved around building muscle and getting stronger and faster.  To build muscle fast work on your core lifts.  I would recommend doing deadlifts, hang cleans, shoulder press, and bench press for 3 sets of 6 reps.  Do these 3 times per week.  \n\nOn 2 of your off days work on cardio.  Ever notice how ripped out sprinters are?  I'd do what our strength coach used to call "Running the Scale."  It's a series of sprints where you go 100 yards for 10 sprints, 80 yards for 8 sprints, 60 yards for 6 sprints, 40 yards for 4 sprints, and 20 yards for 2 sprints.  Rest for 1 minute after each sprint.  This will just about kill you and if you run as hard as you should you'll puke at least once your first few times, but it will get you ripped.\n\nDo the "Scale" one day and on the other cardio day do two 300 yard shuttle runs.  In a shuttle run you'll run from the goal line to the 50 yard line and back 3 times trying to make the whole trip in under 45 seconds. \n\nThose workouts are not for everyone.  They're from a very tough college football strength and conditioning program put together by professional strength coach.  Push yourself when you're doing them but realize that it's going to take time to build yourself up.  \n\nLastly, eat and drink lots of protein.  Try to get at least 1.5 grams per lb of body weight.  My favorite is Isopure Low Carb Chocolate.  It's 50 grams of whey per serving and it actually tastes good.\n\nWork hard and good luck!

As a former trainer of many college football players, you must first take into account your eating before you take into account your workout. You need to take in 6 meals a day. This may mean that you eat every 2-3 hours of small, healthy, and well balanced meals. These meals should include a balance of carbs and protein. Eggs (egg whites), chicken, LEAN meat ( i emphasize lean because fatty meats can get you winded), and greens (spinach and other legumes). Secondly, stop eating by 7pm, so your body can process your foods and during your sleep your body can build muscle. Now the work out. As a defensive tackle, i suggest as off season training to rotate your routine from day to day. Do not spend two consecutive days working on the same muscle area. Best combination is 3-4 day a week routine that has day one doing biceps and triceps, day two shoulders and chest, and day three "super legs". Super legs is basically a coined term that means you blast the shit out of your leg muscles. Quads, calfs, hams...etc...\nBe mindful of working in about 15 min of cardio either before or after. THats a simple routine and you should see some results. Your weight is the issue you gotta worry about now. Eat eat eat!!!! Hope that helps and best of luck to you.

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.

Heres the deal. I was a huge football player myself and I'm glad to see the dedication at your age, good signs for the future. you have to stick with it.  It is not just going to happen over night.  The stronger you are the more advantage you have on the feild.  There is no one powder that will do it all.  What i recomend is mixing a few things.  For instance, get a protein that you can get down.  If you have to drag yourself to the blender everyday you are not going to be able to keep going much longer. I personally like protoplex from vitamin world. Its cheaper and it tastes great. I only have one kidney so i cannot take to much protein though.  Your body at 110 lbs can probably only take about 30-35 grams of protein at a time. The rest will probably pass through. With your protein every morning or an hour or so before the gym, take a tablespoon of glutamine. This will help your body absorb all the nutrients and minerals that are in the drink you are taking.  Also, it helps the recovery.  I also take ZMA at night before bed, another recovery enhancing product. I find that it does work but you have to be persistant. At your age i would not go heywire with the supplements, your body is still growing and over the next couple years you will find your mass will be increasing dramatically.   Don't get hung up on the bench press either. A lot of meat heads judge someones strength and athleticism by there bench press.  In football, the most important thing is going to be legs. get your leg strength and speed up as first priority, then chest and back than arms.  You are already ahead of most football players in your school i am sure, just by attempting to workout at your age. Stay with it. Champions are made in the offseason.  Some of my favorite years were in HS football, live it up with no regrets.  Just work your butt  off and it will come. trry to stay away from too much creatine. I took that stuff in high school and if you ask me it was a waste of money. Didn't do a thing for me. Plus it is really hard on the kidneys. Something that my buddies are taking now is No xplode. they really like it, but make sure you seee your doctor about it, just like all the other stuff, especially with your age.

Cook meals at home. Stay away from eatting out. Stay away from sugar drinks and drink only bottled water. Tap water is loaded with flouride which causes weight gain. Walk at least 1 mile a day, up hill if at all possible..or more if you can! \n Cooking natural chicken and fish are the healthiest meats. And more importantly eat your veggies...except for starchy ones like potatos and corn! Good luck
