How can I gain weight fast??

Would like to look ottermode. Went to the doctors and he said I was to skinny for my age and height ( 16 yo, 134 pounds & 5'9 ). My next appointment isn't til January 20 so I'd like to start now.How can I gain wight fast and healthily to have the body of an ottermode? Sometimes I'll just drink some water and eat two cups of apple sauce and I won't eat til the next day. Maybe eat more?

@thitiki: Eat more and much proteins and train your abs and arms.

Better then me.... 17 105 5 7....

Also the title made me think this was a spam

I knew it as soon as I posted but it was all I could go on. :P You must be skinny only 105 man?

By protein you mean? What will it do for me?

@thitiki: Eggs meat and stuff will help you grow muscles

Oh I see so I guess now isn't the time to become a vegetarian?

@thitiki: well it's easier not to otherwise you should use meat-substitutes (Is that word correct?) to get your proteins

Yea I understand. Guess I'll make eggs for breakfast.

@thitiki: Ok good luck (:

Water and two cups of apple sauce is a small percentage of an average daily intake (which I think is around 2000 calories). Try and get at least three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Include pasta, rice, potatoes, red meats, eggs so on and so forth. You'll notice a significant change real soon.

@thitiki:

For low weight class, or ectomorphs in general, Good diet, a lot of rest, and regular exercise works well. Start with increasing your diet, and then increase your exercise proportionately. Use it as a means of keeping in shape, don't max out or anything.

Don't run after proteins. Of course, do eat them more, and make sure you are eating enough of them, They are only useful when we also eat similar amounts of carbs (which fulfill over 60% of body's energy requirements in general)

Though cadio exercises slow down the growth rate, don't listen to anyone who says 'skip cardio, just do weights!'. Do it in moderation. They are necessary.

And being a vegetarian is no problem. I'm full vegetarian and a mesomorph (ecto-mesomorph, perhaps). Milk is a real great source of proteins too iirc.

That's the basic stuff I recall.

Mcdonalds all day everyday

If you want to getting a bigger build. Eat more than an average daily intake and work progressively hard.

This.

@princearagorn1: I'm curious. Why not run after proteins?

Eat and workouts I put on 25 lbs since last year and I barely have any body fat

Keeping the diet balanced is equally important. Unless carbs supply enough energy to the body first, proteins are not used for their main function: muscle building. Instead, body breaks them down for energy supply, which isn't very good.

Run after proteins by all means, but make sure you are increasing intake of other parts of diet to balance things out, too..

He didnt said he wanted to die young...

That is not correct.

Eat food.

@khan_noonien_singh: Why not?

Because following that guideline makes you look like this clown.

@rouflex: well too late now!

Go to the Gym and work with an absurd amount of weight, then go to your house and eat everything you can. Don't do anything like jumping or runing

You will end like James Harrison.

In order to look like ottermode (bleh, really skinny) use lightweights, high reps, 13-20 rep range with a 3-4 set range if you're going to the gym. In order to get a body like that, you'll probably be fine just using bodyweight exercises. Do a 15-20 rep range with different bodyweight stuff like different types of squats, pushups, inverted shoulder presses,tricep dips, pullup/chinups, crunches, cobras, etc. There are a lot of bodyweight exercises, so I'm not going to go through them all. I'd advise you to look them up.

As far as your diet goes, the way you're eating isn't going to gain much of anything. 2 cups of applesauce and a bit of water? Average daily intake of calories is about 2200 for males to maintain a healthy look. Since you're not looking to get real jacked, you don't need to eat much more than that if at all. Generally have a balanced diet, so good carbs like sweet potatoes, brown rice, whole grain or 100% whole bread/pasta products. For proteins, things like lean beefs, chicken, pork, and eggs. Low/non fat dairy products are also good. I'd also say invest in a protein powder. I'd recommend a 100% whey protein isolate. Then of course get your veggies and fruits. Since I'm guessing you are also skinny, if you feel like you aren't getting the gains needed, you can go off your diet a little bit and dirty bulk. But get your basics down first.

@khan_noonien_singh: Well of course you shouldn't leave your legs behind but I meant train arms and abs as main focus.

The end result is the same but to a lesser degree. You train the arms more than the legs, you still have that ridiculous body shape. You need to train the whole body equally to avoid an unequal body shape.

Solution to gaining weight:

1) Buy a weight vest

2) Put desired amount of weight in vest

3) Put on vest, congratulations you have gained weight faster than any other previously posted method.

Eat meat

@god_spawn: Thank you so much great detailed answer!

lol :)

I feel this pain...

I'd say just eat, eat, and keep eating.

Try to get over 2000 calories a day and lift weights for half an hour to 45 minutes a day 4 times a week.

One of the best websites for bodybuilding information.

Eat and workout.

Step 1: EAT

Step 2: EAT

Step 3: EAT

Drink a lot of beer, get drunk, then eat a huge meal.

Do that often and you will get fat quick.
