How does a boxer gain so much weight between the day of his weigh in and the day of his fight?

It is not so much gaining but the rapid losing for the weigh in.  They will dehydrate theirselves sometimes to make weight and it is healthy to gain that back.

it gets larger and thicker because of the added weight... your muscles, as long as you are semi-active, also become stronger because of the added weight...

Two answers:\n\nWhen you run after lifting, you become more toned, because more blood flows thru the muscles..\n\nYou loose MASS when you lift every day. Muscles get more MASS when they are resting, not when you are lifting.\n\nIf you lift, run, rest a day, you will get BIG and toned.

Gain Weight Step 1 - eating!\n\nEating is the first and most important factor that is needed to gain weight. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat. I suggest 6 meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day. The goal is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours.\n\nFocus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts.\n\nGain Weight Step 2 - lifting!\n\nAs stated, proper eating is of utmost importance when attempting to gain weight, but if you do not lift weights, the majority of that gained weight will be fat - not muscle.\n\nWhen trying to gain weight, I suggest working out three times a week. You need to lift hard and then recover for the next workout. Focus on the big exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, chin-ups, bench press, & military press. These are the exercises that will turn those extra calories into muscle. You are not going to gain much by doing lateral raises and step-ups every workout. You need the multiple-joint lifts that will shock your system and stimulate your body into growth. Focus on getting strong by adding a small amount of weight each workout. If you focus on strength, size will follow. Case in point, look around at your local gym - the strongest guys are also the biggest.\n\nGain Weight Step 3 - supplements!\n\nTo gain weight, you do not NEED supplements, but they will help you gain the weight quicker. That's what they are, supplements to an already good diet and training program. Think of supplements as the finishing touch.\n\nI like to keep things simple and, therefore, I suggest only two types supplements for those wishing to gain weight. The first is a weight gain shake. The shakes I recommend are ProLab's N Large 2. It's the best value out there. The way N' Large 2  will help is by giving you a large quantity of calories in one small serving. It will provide you with 620 calories in one easy shake and is especially great for people who do not have time for breakfast, or snacks while on the go. Just mix a serving with water or fruit juice and gulp it down in a just a couple of minutes. Get yourself a Shaker Bottle to make it even easier.\n\n\n\n\n(I got these answers from the website below...check it out, it has some great advice)

I am going to offer a different aspect to this. I am wondering if you gained a pound and wodnering why it happened? I may be wrong, but here goes. Your weight can fluctuate naturally due to things like water weight, and 1 pound in a day could be just that. Or if your scale is one that rounds, it may be not a full pound, but it rounded up to one.

To gain one pound, you need to take in an EXTRA 3500 calories a day over your normal food. So you are really looking at 6000 calories a day. \nYour metabolism would eventually get used, to a degree, to that intake, and you wouldn't gain weight that fast, but you would eventually gain enough to equal out to your intake. \nA good way to average it is that you need 10 calories for every pound of weight to stay where you are. So at 180 lbs, about 1800 calories will keep you there for the most part.\nIf you were eating over 4000 calories a day for a long period of time, say hello to 400 pounds.

Not necessarily. The myth the eating after about 6 or 7 p.m. will make you gain weight is simply that; a myth. Your body still needs some energy while you sleep and will use that extra energy (from the food you ate) in the morning. \n\nNow, if you are eating extremely large quantites of unhealthy food, sure, you'll gain weight. But you can do that at any point in the day and still gain weight.

That's alot to eat for anyone....it takes 3500 calories to gain a pound. Now you would have to take the amount of calories you have burnt all day and subtract it from the 10,000...whatever is left over is going to go towards gaining.....

I hear some boxers do a lot of jump roping and spitting when they need to make weight class.  Probably not very healthy, but might work.  Just remember, you might dehydrate.

Lopez was an absolute monster at 105lbs. One of the great fighters in the history of boxing. He was one of my favorite fighters to watch. A master boxer with very good power for the lighter weight divisions. If you can get a hold of his fights on video WATCH them. He was a man who handled himself with class in and out of the ring.

It contains calories.  Too many calories, you gain weight.

Bets,\n\nA part of the reason why you gained weight is because your metabolism slowed down.  This is typical of college students (going from teens to 20s).\n\nJust bump up your cardio to burn off what you drink.\nLift weights to make your body denser.

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.
