hi.\nI think the best way is to excersise and eating protein reach foods like eggs,milk,meat,etc after it.and you can increase the times you eat to for example 6 times a day:break fast,10 am,lunch,4 pm,8 pm and before sleeping

Seems like you have a fast metabolism like me.  I think your best bet is to begin lifting weights and eating lots of protein in order to put on a little muscle.

Eat more calcium and protein in your diet. Avoid weight lfting.\n\nWell, there is a horrible, dangerous and expensive surgery where they break your legs and then stretch them out of the course of months, only to break them again and stretch you some more.\n\nOr you could just use gravity boots and eat a lot of meat. You might gain one inch.

The most important answer to this question is another question.  What type of weight are you trying to gain?  If the answer you want is any as long as the scale goes up.  Your answer is all of the above or what ever you can get and keep down.  If you are strictly trying to put on muscle, the only good answer is proper nutrition and time.

Hit a fast food restaurant for every meal.  Make sure you get the "biggy" size.--thats if you want to gain 20#s of fat.  Work out and get a physical trainer if you want to gain 20#s of muscle but that might be unachievable for most people.\nGood Luck?

The key here is slow down your metabolism....and the way to do that is to eat less meals during the day but eat bigger meals when you do eat. This way your body has too much food to digest and your body stores the fat longer. Obviously the more unhealthy the meal the better for weight gain...however you don't mention the reason for you wanting to gain weight.\n\nIf it is a medical condition such as your thyroid then nothing will help to rectify your weight but medical help.\n\nAlso there are plenty of products on the market at the moment such as shakes to drink etc which help to build muscle....maybe try one of them, or even drinking beer adds on the pounds!!

These are some points, which would help in increasing your weight:\n\nEating: The first important point to increase your weight is to eat well. Eat more than you burn calories. Eating food, which contains more fat is good for people who are thin. Drinking milk, cheese, chicken meat etc are some foods, which contain more fat.\n\nExercise: Most people think that thin people should not exercise, as they could get even thinner. But it is recommended that they exercise so that they feel hungrier and eat more. Taking nutritious food would help the body gain weight. Do not lift heavy weight dumbbells in a gym; instead opt for low weight and do more repetitions.\n\nThere are lots of weight gain supplements available in the market, but they are not recommended. Instead have good amount of protein-enriched foods, fruits and products, which contain more fat. Eating lots of protein and fat, as it is very helpful in increasing your weight. So why wait! Start NOW.

Try looking on www.differentu.com and look under weight management and look at nutritional shake mixes. They say weight loss but will also help you gain it just depends on how you use it. All you have to do to gain weight is take a shake with every meal you eat and thats it. You can add all types of things like fresh/frozen fruit, yogart, ice, etc. So check it out and see what you think. God bless you and I wish you the best!!

Go to a heath store and buy a batch or two of those protein drinks.  They're designed to make you "bulk up".  If you don't exercise regularly while taking these, you'll gain weight for sure.

If as you say you cannot stuff any more food in and cannot gain weight, you should talk to a doctor.  She or he might be able to do more for you than changing your diet will.  Have you calculated your body mass index (BMI)?  There are many websites where you can do this, I recommend the CDC website: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/index.htm (use the teen calculator).  This will let you know where you stand with your peers.  The best way to gain weight is to increase calorie intake.  If you are eating as much as you can, maybe you should change the types of food you are eating, i.e. no junk food, stay away from saturated fats, UNsaturated fat is good, as well as proteins which will help strengthen muscles (muscle weighs more than fat).  Whole milk, although not too low in saturated fat is a good source of calories from fats and proteins, and is sometimes recommended by nutritionists to help undernourished people gain weight.  Also peanut butter is good, it has a good balance of calories from fats, carbs and proteins.  Good luck, but most importantly you should talk to a doctor or nutritionist before making any drastic changes.

With your age and build, it's not likely that you're going to gain weight very quickly.  Wait a couple of years, and you'll fill out naturally.  \n\nBe glad that you have a slight build.  You'll see what I mean when you go to your 10-year high school reunion. :)

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 have been trying to gain weight for like 4 years and I finally am now- do this,\ncount how many calories you eat in a normal day, the next day increase it by 500 or more, do that for the week, and increase it by another 500 the next week. \nDrink boost plus, you can get it at a cvs or walgreens, the vanilla flavor is the best. Drink 3 a day but DONT skip any meals. Drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. \nBut most of all, I think the boost plus' helps most\ngood luck\n\nas for how fast, if you want to gain 20 lbs im guessing like 2 months, healthily

Presumably you don't want to be fat, but bigger.  So I recommend lifting as heavy weights as you can, do the protien thing, and build up your muscle.  Now also keep in mind that this takes a long time.... so I guess if you want to gain wait quick...\n\nDrink Starbuck\neat McDonalds\nwatch too much tv

FIRST ! calm down. Second, just eat something that you can eat, that has a lot of calories. Don't worry, im flipping skinny too :]. Well, im a girl, but whatever. Just eat something you can fit into your stomach, and don't stuff yourself, eat something with A lot of calories, A lot.  \n\nWeight Gain \n\n1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. Don't change anything, just eat like you normally would and count how many calories you consumed. This is an extremely important step, so try to be as exact as possible. Also, weigh yourself. 2) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories MORE then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would now eat 2500 calories a day. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5-6 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. To get big, you have to eat big! Remember that. 3) Weightlifting! Get in the gym and lift! This is another important step to how to gain weight, so make sure you are doing it correctly. For more information on weightlifting workout routines and splits, read the workout routines and splits section. 4) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice your gaining just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 10lb increase. Gaining anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthy and means your putting on way to much fat. So look for 1 or 2 pound gains at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can be gaining 5-8 pounds a month! 5) Heres an important one. At some point, you will stop seeing weight gain. At this point, you will have to eat even more. So, when you stop gaining for at least 2 weeks, it means it is time to start eating an extra 250 calories a day. Every time you see you haven't gained weight for at least 2 weeks, add an extra 250 calories. More tips for how to gain weight (extremely important!) - Stay away from fat! Eventhough weight gain is your goal, you don't want to be gaining fat. Get rid of the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. Stick to high protein low fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey, lean meats, fruits and vegetables etc. (For more information, read the diet and nutrition section. - WATER! Drink water! Drink around a half gallon a day, more if you can. Yes thats alot of water, but its that water that will give you the energy you need to gain that weight! - Sleep! YES! Sleep! The easiest, yet most over looked step. Get atleast 8 hours of sleep a night. Your gonna need it! Now the concern some people have about how to gain weight, is how to do it without putting on extra fat. Let me tell you how, YOU CAN'T! Unless you are using steroids, it is basically impossible to gain weight without putting on a little bit of extra fat. But hey, you want to see some weight gain right? Well then who cares about the little bit of extra fat you might put on while gaining. You will be able to burn that off later on, right now gaining is your main concern, so that is all you need to worry about.
