How do I gain weight as a skinny dude?

I'm 5'7" and weigh 127lbs and no matter what I eat I don't gain or lose any weight. It always stay the same.

You pretty much have to gain muscle weight and even then it takes forever. There's no healthy way for us hard gainers to gain fat weight.

Eat 7 small meals a day. You probably have high metabolism.

Shovel a couple buckets of lard into your mouth every day.

Eat a bit more than usual, head to the gym and get a personal trainer to work out a program for you (probably more weights based as opposed to cardio, but wouldn't want to neglect it) and drink protein shakes etc.

Eat a lot, eat a lot of protein and then workout a lot. That is the only sure way to put on weight. I am about half a inch from 5'5 and I weigh 135 thanks to Weightlifting.

Eat, eat 4,000 calories a day

Work out.. Dont try and get fatter or anything thats a horrible idea. It will be WAY harder to loose than it will be to gain

eat more fatty food. make sure you dont go over 140lb. im about the same height and weigh almost 165lb and i feel fat. i miss the days when i was skinny

For your height you are a healthy weight. kamikaze_pigmy

That does not take muscle into account. By that chart I am Fat, if my body fat was lower it would be at an unhealthy level.

My brother is 5'7 185, he is all muscle with about the same body fat percentage as me. It doesn't matter how heavy you are, just how much is muscle.

I love how you're getting all this advice to eat ridiculously unhealthily and exercise an obscene amount when your weight is already perfectly fine for your height...kamikaze_pigmy

You don't understand muscle then... He doesn't want to be skinny, IE he wants muscle not fat.

...No it is all muscle. Have you ever seen how much a bodybuilder weighs? My bro is basically a body builder without the steriods and there is less fat on him than me.

Don't listen to that guy, his chart says I am fat, you can see a picture of me in my profile, I am not fat. You should workout and get big sailor muscles, If you want advice I can help you out. I got a list of exercises you can do that don't recquire going to the gymn, just a bench and free weights.

Yeah, right now I got to hold myself back though so I don't stunt my growth. Although I will beef up like that for sure, muscles feel great.

No it doesn't, although if you workout you can put that junk to use. Although I see eat tons of healthy food and do whey protein drink and then workout 6 days a week.

Can you guys recommend me some small meals I should eat everyday and also explain why I won't be pooping 24/7?

Eggs and steak!

Start with 5 small meals a day. Eat a lot of peanut butter and milk. Milk is a great way to get extra calories. Drink a lot of water. The secret is to eat a lot. You also have to work out, or you won't grow. You have to let your body know that you want to grow.

Check out on google: Starting Strength Wiki. It's a routine by Mark Rippetoe. It's considered the gold standard as far as beginning mass building routines go. It's a perfect routine to begin weight training.

I used to weigh about 130 and I am nearly 6'1" tall. In high school, I decided I needed to get a lot bigger, so I gained a ton of weight. I weigh about 190 now and am pretty lean. You just have to stick with it. That is the key.

Stick with it for 3 months. If you don't see results after doing it for 3 months, then you just need to eat more. But if you follow the program, you are almost guaranteed to see results. Trust me, I'm a "hard-gainer".

Basically have protein with everymeal. Make sure to eat healthy fat like nuts/avocados everyday. Try and get healthy oils in everyday, I eat sardines for the healthy oils, it keeps my skin nice and healthy. Throw in carbs and calories for good measure and something to burn off. Just pick healthy foods. Fats and Oils are important when weightlifting because it reduces the severity and chance of stretch marks. Protein is building block of muscle so it is a must. Carbohydrates from Egg yolks build testosterone, they are really good. Egg protein rebuilds tendons, whey protein boosts immune system goes straight to the muscle. The calories are basically just to burn off as fuel. Soy Protien is something you stay away from entirely it does not build testosterone it can only build estrogen.

Not everyone digests milk. Milk kinda is bad for my skin, because I do not digest it the best. You must be of scandinavian origin cuz those are the only chaps that actually get major use out of milk.

Wow I got a fast metabolism as well, but I would have weighed more than you by 5 pounds, that is crazy. Although at least you put on muscle now.

how is it harder to gain weight than lose it? AutoPilotOn

Depends on the person.

I lose weight easily if I exercise a little, so I just sit around all day eating if I wanna gain weight.

For others it is harder to lose it.

But man I need to gain at least 15 pounds of FAT not muscle

I gained some by going to a nutritionist so if you wanna gain/lose that's probably the surest way
