Gaining Weight

Now, now D2D, this site is about fitness, not specifically gaining or losing weight. tpeters, you have every right to ask that question, the goals area should work either way, gaining or losing. If you follow the guidelines and eat nutritious healthy meals and get enough calories, and work out, you should gain healthy muscle just as people trying to lose weight still want to gain muscle. You must work your body though, if you just eat, your going to gain fat, which you don't want. Follow the goal plan on the site and do some weight training and a little cardio and you should gain slow, steady muscle.

Hope this helps.

Banks

No, he isn't making a joke. He truly is trying to gain weight. He could eat A LOT and still be super small.

OH Ok i was about to join in with you Banks!

Its really tough for me to gain weight, I was always that kid that everyone looked at and thought that I was anorexic! I tried eating alot but for me it is really hard to eat as much as I need to and maintain that everyday!

In that case, as scarey as it sounds, you have to kinda force the issue a little, part of that is choosing the right kinds of food, higher density foods with more protein and more good carbs, but in the end you probably will have to train your body to just eat more. You can lessen the difficulty of that by spacing it out over smaller meals throughout the day so your body doesn't feel stuffed.

Haha, it's okay! I don't mind.

My ex had the same problem with trying to put on weight. He got into weight lifting and eating a lot of protein. He also started drinking those protein shakes from GNC. It took a while, but he got looking pretty good.

Thanks for helping him out and giving some nice advice.
