Quoi_Tu Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 How old are you and are you a boy or girl? Because if you're a boy in puberty (I think that's safe to assume), then you will put on weight naturally towards the end of adolescence through muscles. Also, 5' 8" and 120 isn't bad... I'm 6' and 131. Why do you want to gain weight? Quite. I'm around his size, and my weight just gives me the finger and flies around, but now I'm staying up in the 140 zone. Also ... You're almost liiiiittler than me. :3 At 6', I've been up to 140 (peak tennis season) and down to 123 (when I had my wisdom teeth removed). The curse of a high metabolism and low appetite. Almost bigger than me, eh? *searches for bone saw* :uhh: Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Unless you have that underweight condition that you might die of, really, why do you want to get fat? Because if the weight doesn't come in muscles, its gonna come by fat. Skinny people already look decent; why fix something that isn't broke?

ChaosFlames Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 :shock: Dude. You are EXACTLY my height, EXACTLY my weight! And I too have been looking for a way to put on a couple pounds (~10-15) Although I have a very high metabolism, so eating plain old junk food doesn't work for me (I'm guessing you have the same problem) I still haven't found a way to gain some weight a healthy way (I'm seriously more afraid of getting a heart attack or something from eating lots of junk food..) Instead I stopped over-eating, and started working out. A friend of mine told me that muscle weighs more than fat, I doubt its true, but I'm still going for it because it'll be worth it :) Good luck with your thread and getting advice, I know I'll be eyeing it carefully haha.

ThurinEthir Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 but yea. having a 18.2 bmi is definitely something to worry about weight. Wait, it is? Isn't underweight 18.5 and less? 18.2 is pretty darn close to 18.5, barely underweight... Apparently I would have to be 6 inches shorter if I were to be normal weight. Or gain 15 pounds. The latter sounds easier. :? (Time to eat 60 quarter-pounders...) Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

Tom_Servo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Rub your food on a piece of paper. If it turns clear, it's the way to weight gain. Seriously though, work on building muscle as it does weigh more than fat. It's also healthier and looks better, too. Couldn't tell you how to build a significant amount of muscle mass though, seeing as how I myself am 5'7'' and 110 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if the weight doesn't come in muscles, its gonna come by fat. Skinny people already look decent; why fix something that isn't broke? It's not broke, but it's going to break. Being underweight is unhealthy. Also, his current diet is extremely unhealthy. If he doesn't fix it, he's much more susceptible to nasty diseases compared to people that eat properly. The body needs good stuff to build up. The crap the topicstarter is eating on a day doesn't help the body. Personally, I think the eating pattern is the underlying cause. Fix that. Eat healthy. That's the fundament for being healthy, and having a healthy weight. Building up muscles is just masking the problem. Don't do it. Also, you won't achieve a lot by having an unhealthy eating pattern. It's not only training that builds up muscles, but rest and a proper diet are just as important.

Omali Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have the curse of high metabolism and never being hungry. Height: 6 feet Weight: 122 BMI: 16.5 I'll be 20 in a couple of months, which makes it all the more pitiable.

Still, fix the eating problem, do some exercise for the heart and lungs and he's fine. No need to get super muscles and eat green salads all day long. Because it's kinda pathetic to be underweight.

Nero Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 So it seems the general consensus in this thread is that to gain weight, you should: Exercize and eat healthy. Isn't that what most people tell others who want to lose weight though? http://i44.tinypic.com/2myqhix.jpg Oh and Shadow that was actually a mexican kid who chronicled himself losing weight and getting in shape. The proper order is from bottom to top, and the original had nothing to do with World of Warcraft. Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenticular_J Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I find it easier to put on muscle than fat. Also easier to build muscle than tone it. Toning is hard. Very hard. But it's really what you have to do to have it noticed.

RpgGamer Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I don't want to get buff or muscular, just put on a little size, to give you a kind of background info: 5 foot 8 120 pounds Diet Breakfast: Eggs and toast/3 slices of leftover cake from day before/ 2 nuggets and toast/ Lunch at school: Pizza/ hamburger sandwich/chicken sandwich/ any kind of sandwich dinner: (Mashed potatoes/rice/macaroni pie) and (chicken/lamb/fish) Supper: anything snacks: Lays chips, icecream cake, mcdonalds once a week maybe three times a week,coke, powerade and other assorted chocolates and beverages Any tips to gain at least 30 pounds in 3 months/4 months It's beyond me why you want to GAIN weight. I'm 3 inches taller than you and 10lbs lighter. I eat like a fat man, and never gain an ounce. Some people just can't do it. I suggest eating nothing but really fatty/unfillling foods. like Mcdonalds. Seriously, eating nothing but fast food for 4 months straight should bounce you up another 20lbs atleast.
