Corey E	protein will do it. I suggest hemp seeds because they are choc full of protein and essential fatty acids which will help you gain weight without looking fat. You can get 16 ounces here... http://shamansgarden.com/p-514-hemp-100-organic-protein-powder-plus-16-oz.aspx Honestly i enjoy the taste. Its sorta sweet and nutty. Was this answer helpful to you?

Mark C	Well, if you want to gain weight, just eat more... but DO NOT OVER DO IT, you will lose your figure. Try to make an eating schedule of what you eat now, and add a few smallish meals in between your others. I'm really sure what else will make you bigger except eating more, good luck to ya!

yaoiboix	It really depends on our personal metabolism, if you eat a well balanced diet and proper proportion to your calorie intake. I am 6'2" and i weight 140 pounds and am very thin as well, some people burn off foods fast, try increasing your calorie intake by 500 a day but just because your thin doesn't mean you are unhealthy. If you are vegetarian get put some more peanut butter into your diet if not eat some beef however eating mass amounts of junk food may cause your body to be stressed and speed up your metabolism and make you thinner or not gain any weight, and even if you do it will not be healthy weight and may cause lack of motivation and depression. In short increase your protein intake also get more carbs from pastas breads and cereal also it is important you are active during this time while this may cause you to burn calories it will also increase muscle mass filling in and toning your body and the protein will aid in this. remember to experiment and not go with this advice full blown see how your body reacts to diets and remember exercise is highly recommended.

Justin C.	You need to exercise and build muscle; Twinkies and such won't gain wait on you to look like the average healthy person. If you do that, then you will just gain belly weight (a.k.a: a gut). 1. Exercise 2. Eat lots of healthy foods 3. Gain the "average" amount of body fat that will be healthy for you in actuality. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stickyicky990	They have protein shakes and stuff made for that. My sister was in a similar situation, she didnt change much, it will take some time. Also remember that everyone is built differently, what works for someone may not for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lol_hyper_gurl	Eat! that is always a good start Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cali.gurl_becky13	umm well all i can say is eat, eat, and eat...and maybe workout. There are some techniques (from what I've heard) when working out that makes you gain weight rather than loose it. When you eat, don't eat really fatty foods because it's unhealthy. Eat lots and lots of healthy foods. Such as fruits or veggies and what not, and occasionally add in some carbs. Like pancakes with a lot of syrup. Check with your doctor and ask ways of gaining weight. But all I can really say is EAT A LOT OF FOOD! But healthy foods with the occasional junk food [as i wrote before]. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

waykoo4u	wow. that's really unhealthy. Really unhealthy. Try to eat more... not junk.. healthy foods... but in bigger quantities. Eat a lot of protein... wow... i just can't imagine it. Please do not hurt yourself! Also, talk to your parents? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

limegreen1012582	Just eat and eat and eat and eat it'll make u gain more weight....thats the most reasonable answer to me.....(just don't make yourself sick) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Charlie	Go to the store and buy protein drinks.. drink those and drink milkshakes. Really the simple answer (unless you have a Thyroid problem) is to take in more calories then you burn. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

purplecarrotblog	Lulz at all these other guys saying you're anorexic. You're most probably naturally slim. To gain weight you'll need to eat more, but stay away from junk food. Eat lots of carbs (e.g. bread and pasta, wholemeal/wholegrains are better) - they're very energy dense so you get more calories per serving. Also eat lots of protein for muscle development (lean meat, fish, tofu, legumes) and as much vegetables/fruit as you can pack down in a day. Eat more healthy oils and fats, e.g. extra virgin olive oil and Avocado. Weight lifting will also help to tone you up and build muscle, so head down to the gym and see if they can do up a personalised program for you. Do your cardio still, just don't overdo it - you still need cardio exercise to help stamina and cardiovascular health. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

alicialions	do you come from a family of very think people? Usually the best and healthiest way to gain weight when you are underweight is to eat foods high in protein and carbohydrates ...ie pasta, bread, meats, peanut butter, nuts...don't spend a lot of time on salads for example and then don't do cardio exercise...do muscle building exercise like situps, pushups...weights etc. Was this answer helpful to you?

Helpmeiduntwantoloseketchup	Consult a dietitian or a doctor. They have the best and usually safe asnwers for that.
