see a nutritionist. while eating a lot may help you a bit, it is also not healthy (junk food binge=tummy ache), especially if you are naturally skinny-you might end up just getting sick. it's also in the genes, so check if your relatives are skinny. if they are, chances are, you always will be on the slim side. oh, by the way, i know that there are exercises that can help you gain weight. ask your nutritionist about this too. =) good luck, and MAN DO I WISH I HAD YOUR PROBLEM! hehehe.

Go to your local Health store, such as GNC, and pick up something called Weight Gainer 2000.  Drink the recommended number of these shakes a day and eat as you normally do.

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!

I am in the process gaining some weight aswell. To do so, I am drinking Ensure Plus homemade vanilla milkshakes which are actually very yummy. It is a meal replacement aswell as a shake to help you gain weight. I am eating like I normally do but also taking the shakes after dinner. Ensure contains alot of essentials vitamins and minerals, calcium and proteins, it is an excellent way to gain weight, and it really does taste very good. \n\nYou can buy Ensure at any grocery store near you like Publix, aswell as Costco and BJ's.

Try drinking Ensure.  A lot of times it's sold next to the pharmacy.  Ask the pharmacist how much to drink to gain healthy weight.  Also, I have a friend who's naturally very thin.  When she loses a few pounds, she eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a snack between meals to gain the weight back.  I don't really know why this works for her, but it does.  It's worth a try.

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.

Firstly you need to consider your calorie intake and increase this to around 2000 calories.\n\nListed is a healthy eating plan to put on weight: \nBreakfast - 3 oranges squeezed + 2 pieces of toast w baked beans & one boiled egg \nSnack - 2 long savoury biscuit w cheese & tomato\nLunch - 2 soy & linseed sandwiches w butter, ham, cheese, tomato gilled OR 3 egg omlette w cheese, ham, tomato.\nSnack - banana & honey smoothie (full cream milk) \nDinner - always eat rice/noodle or pasta based meals with plenty of vegies and protein. \n\nThis should do it GOOD LUCK!

The best way to increase your weight is to always exceed your daily energy requirements. Find out exactly how many calories you burn on a daily basis through an assessment of your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)& AMR (Active Metabolic Rate). Once you have these numbers, it's simple math. Ensure you are above or consuming more calories than your body burns on a daily basis and you should increase your mass with the appropriate weight training regimen. \n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1) always eat a heavy complex carb meal (pasta/rice)at least 1-2 hours before going to sleep.\n2) try weight gainer shakes at your local health food store.\n3) STAY AWAY FROM CARDIO (this really should be a short-term ideally since refraining from cardiovascular exercise can jepordize long-term health). For your purposes in the short-term, cardio will only hamper efforts to gain weight. If you don't have to run then walk, if you don't have to walk then stand, if you don't have to stand then sit, if you don't have to sit then lie down.\n4) weight training (if you are at least intermediate level) should not exceed 8 reps, especially on large muscle groups. Please seek the advice of a professional trainer before proceeding with heavy weights if you are not at least an intermediate level weight trainer. \n5) concentrate on multi joint and power movements such as squats and deadlifts for the largest spike in growth hormone during your workouts (again proceed only under supervision)\n6) never workout more than 90 minutes\n7) track your progress - it's the only way you'll find out what works for you\n8) sleep sleep and more sleep - minimum 9-10 hours to maximize growth.\n9) Drink plenty of water\n10) Creatine - probably one of the best ways to gain weight (if used properly) in the short-term.\n\nHere's a list of weight training exercises to help you:\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises.html

The answer is not cheesecake or junk food!\n\nIf you want to gain weight, the best weight to gain is muscle. It weighs more than fat and is better for you health-wise. \n\nIf you go into a gym like 24 hr fitness, they'll endorse protein supplements, but this is not necessary. I gained roughly 15 pounds of muscle without it. And, I've heard that once you start using it, your body relies more and more on it.\n\nWhat I did was work out regularly. I loved the gym and was in there every day. I don't think going every day is necessary. It's also good to complement your weight training with some cardio. Many trainers will say not to do more than 30 minutes if you are underweight and trying to gain, but I liked to be able to have some endurance so I would do as much as an hour without any problems. If you've never been in a gym before or aren't familiar with the equipment, find a friend that is knowledgeable and ask him/her to show you how to use it. It is important to know the correct ways to lift and what NOT to do to avoid injuries - some injuries take years to develop so it is important to proceed with caution! When in doubt, ask questions first.\n\nTo bulk up, you want to do less reps with higher weight/resistance. (To tone you do many reps at lower weights)\n\nI think as you become more active, you'll find that you can eat more. You'll burn it pretty fast anyway, but it is still important to have a balanced diet.
