Gain weight


Question Posted Monday June 25 2007, 5:11 am

I want to gain weight. I'll even take fat.. Any tips? No, I can't just pig out on junk food. It is unhealthy and it does not work because of my high metabolism. Is there certain foods to guarantee weight gain or some pills to take?

I don't really want muscle. I'm kinda bony. I'm 16. 5 feet and I weigh about 85 pounds. i never had an eating disorder. I really want to fill in my curves more. My hips are bony and blah. I really want to feel more confidence in myself.

I can't go see my doctor because she's booked for a while now. I really want to do something over the summer. Help please?

Snack a lot and still eat at your normal times.
Don't snakc on junk food alone though.
Try some of these:
-Special K Bars
-Peanutbutter/Cheese crackers
-Fruit smoothies
-Milkshakes
-Yogurt

Just try to eat foods containing more carbohydrates.
-Peanutbutter
--Make a peanutbutter sandwich with *white bread.
-White bread contains quite a few carbs.
-Eat meat! Try to have more chicken every now and then!
-Foods with high starch content such as potatoes and rice.
Hopefully you like milk, because it also has a lot of protien in it, as well as fat.

If you're up to it, you should try to wrok out, so that the fat builds into muscle.

Well, there are plenty more ways to eat that can help you gain the weight you desire. I'm sure you will get many more helpful comments!

Good Luck!
-Devon

Increasing your intake of junk foods and greasy foods is not a good way to gain weight. Junk foods usually contain unhealthy trans fats or saturated fats. Even though you need to increase your calorie consumption to gain weight, those calories should come from foods that are good for you. Healthy fats include omega-3 essential fatty acids sources like tuna, salmon, flax, and walnuts. Good sources of protein include lean meats, fish, poultry, nuts, seeds and legumes. Healthy carbohydrate sources include fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

It may be easier to eat five or six smaller balanced meals per day rather than eating three large meals, especially if you are not used to eating much at one sitting. Protein powders and nutritional supplement drinks such as Ensure can be added as in-between meal snacks if you still need more calories. Some protein powders are flavored and only need added water and some others can be blended with your choice of juice or milk to improve the taste. It would be a healthy idea to add a small amount of flax seed oil and some psyllium powder to add some omega-3 essential fatty acids and extra fiber.
