How can I gain weight?

[IMGONNABE40!]

I don't know if this has been suggested, but to gain weight you should multiply your weight by 20. That is the number of calories you need to gain weight. You may have to go a bit higher if your metabolism is that fast.

I would be cautious about just going high fat to put on weight. Things like nuts and avacados would be preferable to cake and ice cream.


BTW to lose weight multiply your weight by 10 and try to stick to that # of calories per day. TO maintain your weight, mulitply by 15. I have not tried the 15 or 20 but the 10 x my body weight is helping me to lose weight.

I have 56 Hershey chocolate bars in my closet that my cub scout will thank you for buying if you think that will help

My brother had a problem gaining weight so he took some weightgain herbal pills. I remember him coming in the kitchen once and exclaiming he gained weight in his finger He was 16 and I was 10 but I remember it like is was yesterday and how frustrated he was about it.

I personally lost weight, and A LOT of it on Wellbutrin...It helped me quit smoking, but took away any appetite. Hoping it is the opposite for you.

How's about lifting some weights? Increased muscle mass = increased weight.

You don't want to just sit down to a plate of Ho-Ho's & Ding Dongs. Eat a balanced diet. If you need to increase calories, ok, but don't just chug sugar. Very Bad.

I just started to lift weights a few times/week, but what I wondered is if I'm burning more calories than I should be by doing that.

It irritates me when people say to me "You need to gain weight. You're too skinny.". Would you walk up to someone and say "You need to lose weight. You're too fat" OMG, that would go over well.

I know I hate that too it is one of my husband and and and I's pet peeve's. EVERY time that we go to anyone of my family's homes they act like I am withering away. I have even had grocery clerks act like I am too small to push my full cart of groceries! It is so irritatating...but what can you do?
