Answer 4

Hey are you trying to just put on fat or do you want to add more muscle (i.e. look cut) First you need to figure out your BMR, how many calories you would burn in you were in bed all day you can find that here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calcul... From the information you have left I have calculated it at 1800 calories.

Now you need to mutliply that by an activity number you can find that here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calcul... . Since I don't know your activity level, I am assuming you burn around 2600-2700 calories a day.

I think you are probably not eating 3000-4000 calories, or maybe you burn a lot of calories in a day.

Foods you should try to get should be really calorie dense:

Protein Powder

Dried Fruit

Nuts

Seeds

Peanut or Almond Butter

Good luck

Hope that helps

Answer 11

eat lots of carbs (ie pasta, rice, bread) and protein (meat, fish, beans, cheese, nuts etc).

Try and eat 6 times a day - large breakfast, large lunch and large dinner, plus snacks mid-morning, mid-afternoon and evening.  Don't go for really unhealthy options though, try to keep it all healthy if possible, or you'll be consuming empty calories.

Good luck!

Answer 12

You probably need more carbs, such as wholemeal breads, potatoes, rice, pasta etc....

Your muscle sounds like your protein intake is good.

The BMI is only a guide and if you are athletic then it will be lower than average, but this is nothing to worry about.

You probably have a fast metabolism and convert food very quickly. If still concerned there are plenty of weight gain powder products available form all good healthstores.

Answer 13

Well, seeing as you want to gain weight, you don't want to eat fattening foods that can damage your inner organs.

See a doctor or specialist because my advice wont do any good
