Im 14 i weigh 94 pounds im 5'5. Ive been going to the gym omce or twice a week and i drink shakes sometimes. I need to gain weight i want to at least weigh 115 pounds. But BIG PROBLEM i loooove to ride my bike and do a bunch of exercise. I have a very fast metabolism their is no way im ****ing hell i can gain 1 pound a week or gain any weight cuz the exercise is dropping my calories. ;(;( please please help:( should i just lay inside all day and get no exercise. Oh yeah and im trying to get on a diet. My grandma is very supportive she taught me how to use food labels and made me healthy food. My dad gets me fruits and veggies and orange and grape juice (homemade) BUT my mom no matter how many times i tell her she came home with cookies and oreos and cheese its and brownies and ****. I have to go to my mom 4 days a week and since im trying to eat healthy im starving myself right (all i have here at my moms is junk)now. Oh yeah and im supposed to drink water.. i absutely haaaate the taste of water.... cant i just drink homemade natural grape juice and orange juice indtead??! Heeeeeelp

    Hey! First off before others jump on your case harshly, you are only 14 and really shouldn't be on this site but rather consolting your parents or your doctor. The best advice I can give you is eat a balanced diet of carbs, fats, and protein but don't not fixate on calories or weight in general unless your doctor tells you to be more mindful. Just slam in those fruits and veggies and continue to avoid those junky foods. Some kids are naturally slim and that is perfectly normal. Also, talk to your mother specifically and open up to her about how you don't want to eat processed junk anymore and want to focus on eating better to set good habits for the future. Just eat healthily and live an active lifestyle. That's all you can do at that age! You are also still going through puberty so who knows what will end up changing, haha :flowerforyou:


    P.S To answer your water question, try different types of water like spring, distilled, purified, drinking, or RO water. You will find what you like in time but nothing can replace water! Hydration is vital to your health.

    Lots of protein, read more on bodybuilding sites. Stay healthy, I have an active son and he is very skinny (only 8 years old) With the right eating plan you should be able to fill out, give it time. Good luck!

    Ditto what ArtGeek22 said, you're really too young for this site kiddo.

    1. Focus on being healthy, not a number on a scale.
    2. Let puberty hit you with all its awesomeness.
    3. If Mom isn't supportive talk to Dad or G-ma about helping you pack some food to take to Mom's house.
    4. If you don't like water flavor it w/ fruits.
    -Lemon
    -Strawberries
    -Cucumber
    I'm not saying this b/c of those "add this + water = lose weight/focus/run fast" BS, it literally helped me drink more water.
