Hardgainer Answers

I would like to gain weight because right now, I look like a stick. I eat 3 average meals a day but I just can’t gain weight. I think I have a fast metabolism. I don’t want an unhealthy diet like eating burgers & junk food so don’t tell me that. What are some foods that are healthy that will help me gain weight?

I am still growing so I would like a protein that will not stunt my growth & will make me gain muscle weight fast.

I want to be anorexic & my question is if I become anorexic & stop after a week because I lost all the pounds I wanted & then ate healthy things like fruits & vegetables & started to exercise everyday for an hour would I gain back the same weight I had before? Or would I stay like I did when I became anorexic?
By the way please don’t tell me how bad anorexia is I already know just please answer my question I really need to know the answer!
Thanks so much!

I have a very fast metabolism, & I feel like I would look slightly more attractive if I had some meat on my bones. I’m 5″5 & 96 pounds which makes me look like a developing 13 year old. : ( I’m actually 18! But no one can ever tell. </3 I want to gain just a little weight without completely slowing down my metabolism, is that possible?

I am a very picky eater. I don’t eat a lot & I get full really fast. I am 19 years old & recently went through a hard break up, & have lost ten pounds from my highest weight. The only problem with that is that my highest weight was only 94 pounds. I have a hard time eating. I never, ever exercise even though I would like to because I am afraid I will lose more weight. Does anyone have suggestions to help me gain weight? Please don’t suggest to eat more, because when I try to over-eat, I end up throwing up & that just seems counter-productive. Also, I’m only 5′1″ & for being as thin as I am, & as picky as I am, I get told a lot that I am anorexic. BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE THIN!

okay so my new years resolution is to lose weight. i’ve never been on a diet or tried to do the diet thing, but i find my motabolism is slowing down & my size 8 jeans are getting snug. i’ve been the same size for a while, but as with every lady in my family they all gain weight after graduating from high school. i don’t want “the freshmen 15″ i don’t want to gain weight & i want to eat healthier. i am also working on my cardio & on an ab lounge… so any tips on healthy foods! HELP!? Thanks a lot!

Well, protein has calories. If you add these shakes to your daily diet, & you have maintained your weight up to this point, & are making no other changes to your diet, then theoretically, yes, you could gain weight. Why are you adding these? Are you concerned you aren’t getting enough protein? If so, they are a viable option… try them out, see how you feel after a week or so. Monitor your weight, & maybe cut back on some junk food while you are trying it out.

please help i need answers desperately!
