hey there clickers,

well i just wanted to ask is there to gain weight in a healthy way?

I was 53 at the end of my year 12 exams and now i've dropped to 49. So far it doesn't want to move up .....i'm 1.67cm. i did the BMI thing and i got 17.4. Without weighing i knew i lost weight because it effects my cycle. When i lose weight it comes early and i get headches too.

i want to gain weight so that i have energy to do things.

eat smaller meals, like every 3 hours or so,
eat 3 MEALS BEFORE 12pm, and 2 meals between 12-5pm and then dinner =) small meals though and exercise =)

eat smaller meals so you are able to eat more frequently.

I have the same problem. What I do is lift weights and eat about 5000 calories a day. So far I've gained 3 pounds in one month. I don't know if this method will work for a girl. I usually don't jog. I just do sprints or play soccer. don't skip out on carbs.

its okay. the bmi thing is .. stupid (in my opinion) because some people look really fat butbut the bmi says they are normal, and some people look really skinny but it also says they are normal.

uh. and some underweight people look normal.

you can easily get more energy by exercising. i heard that muscles weigh more than fat.. so you can try lifting weights... just eat healthy (you dont have to eat more, dont EVER overeat or eat more than you could..)

OMG i have the same "problem"
but I look at it as a sort of blessing, in a way...

While other people worry about eating less..
I just have to worry about eating more! So... to each his own?

Like everyone else, I think you should eat smaller meals frequently and exercise moderately to gain weight.

gah! i have that same problem ><
i guess i'l try smaller, more regular meals also then


bong95: wow thats alot of calories in one day lol ...im assuming none of that is from junk food either right? =O

jsut eat alot. don't think about it. eat eat eat. eat fast so you wont realize how much you ate. and dont drink or try not to drink while eatting. it makes you seem more full. it took me a while to realize that i was gaining weight. i tried, then gave up. but then once it happends, you dont even know how that happend

I googled it:

1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. Don't change anything, just eat like you normally would and count how many calories you consumed. This is an extremely important step, so try to be as exact as possible. Also, weigh yourself.

2) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories MORE then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would now eat 2500 calories a day. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5-6 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. To get big, you have to eat big! Remember that.

3) Weightlifting! Get in the gym and lift! This is another important step to how to gain weight, so make sure you are doing it correctly. For more information on weightlifting workout routines and splits, read the workout routines and splits section.

4) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice you're gaining just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 10lb increase. Gaining anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthy and means you're putting on way to much fat. So look for 1 or 2 pound gains at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can be gaining 5-8 pounds a month!

5) Heres an important one. At some point, you will stop seeing weight gain. At this point, you will have to eat even more. So, when you stop gaining for at least 2 weeks, it means it is time to start eating an extra 250 calories a day. Every time you see you haven't gained weight for at least 2 weeks, add an extra 250 calories.

i had the same problem,
i count calories of what i eat to make sure i'm getting more than enough.
basically, you have to divide your big full meals into smaller meals because your system has a limit of taking in all the protein at one time-so the rest of the protein that your body doesn't take in becomes waste.
therefore, eating A LOT in a single meal will not make you gain more weight in a sense.
it takes time, especially if you're the type to lose weight easily.
i have difficulty maintaining the gained weight ugh.
