Can we gain muscle mass through diet and without working out?

I don't want to have huge muscles or anything, I just want to add some meat to my skinny ass. I am 5'6" and weigh 122-125 pounds and I look skinny as hell but I can't go to the gym because I'm always busy with work and playing video games especially since ME3 came out. Also because I'm not as motivated to go as I should be. So just curious if I just eat a lot of protein, calories, etc. will I be able to add some meat or would I have to lift weights also?

Are you f***ing joking?

Stop being a pu.ssie and get to the gym.

Gain muscle? I don't think so. Sustain the muscle that your body has naturally? Yes.

start out with 3 sets of 10 push ups every 2 days until youre muscular then head to the gym to max out

I'm the same height and weigh only ten to thirteen pounds more than you (135 Ibs).:P

No. If you're losing weight you're losing muscle mass, it's inevitable.Fightingfan

Here is my advice, OP.

Unless you are below your natural weight, eating a sh!t ton of protein won't put on muscle.

No, no, no. Height isn't the sole factor which plays into weight. Some people simply have a set muscle mass higher than others for a given height.

yes you can eat stuff and sit on your ass and gain muscle >.>

Actually yes you can. Litterally eating the fattest food will make you gain muscle mass.

Was watching a documentary where this guy was tiny, just like you and he ate a bunch of junk food for the experiment over a few weeks, he was still skinny as hell though but the documentarian guy stated he did get slightly more muscly which for some reason they didn't foresee.

I'd actually say it's happened to me, I was in the 74kg range which was my natural weight at close to 6'0. I took a break from school for a year and I amassed up to 80kg by just eating and doing nothing. I did get a belly so I wouldn't jump 6kg if you don't plan on excercising though, maybe 3 or 4. The biggest change is that my shoulders look much more broad, but I'd still exercise if I had the time and money because I'm certainly not satisfied as I still have way to skinny arms and a undefined stomach.

Someone skinny like you though is going to need to eat ..... a lot more than you think though. It's incredibly likely you have a fast metabolism so if you just consume two or so somewhat fatty meals a day, you won't get anywhere very easily. Eat five times a day, get sick of that junk food, especially before bed and you'll start to see results, even if you aren't trying to be Arnold in his prime. Though once you do start to gain mass I do think you'll still not be satisfied so again, I'd excercise to compliment and change that junk food diet to a more standard workout diet.

Why do you need dieting when you weigh that little? I'd recommend compound exercises such as: push-ups, pullups, crunches, table-tops, and cardio (running tip toes).

Cows have muscle without working out, but I don't think you want to be like a cow.

I would imagine that cows have muscle in order to stand for as long as they do; they rarely lie down. There are two types of muscle fibers: Fast twitch and slow twitch. Fast twitch muscle fibers are for explosive activities such as sprinting, punching, and jumping; these activities require a lot of power/ energy, and can't be engaged in for very long before fatigue sets in. On the other hand, slow twitch muscle fibers are for endurance activities (i.e. long lasting) whose individual iterations don't require much power/ energy. Examples are walking, jogging, and standing.

Ya, I know, thank you though Dr. Blu.
