I eat a lot but I don't gain weight. My protien diet is low but I'm really high on carbohydrates. Eats fast food a lot. I often eat chicken or eggs but no milk. My weight is 45 and I look like a paper. There are not much strength problems in me. I do exercise much. 40 push ups a day (in a single set) crunches and pullupsa and some light weight lifting (5 Kg). I want to gain weight as fast as I can. People make fun of me and feel very depressed.

Dear Lybrate User, Increasing weight does not mean that you will go fatty. In fact, extra fat serves as a precursor of many diseases. In order to increase your weight as well as stay healthy you have to increase the muscle mass of your body. Normally a muscle undergoes an increase in size when it gets hypertrophied due to weight training. Weight-training leads to the pumping of blood to the muscle resulting in increased protein synthesis in the muscles. This applies to every muscles of human body. So, weight training is a must to increase weight. Whenever a muscle gets hypertrophied it demands protein to expand. Here comes the need of protein supplement. The most effective protein supplement is WHEY protein. But kindly remember only taking supplement is not enough. You need to take those supplements according to a fixed schedule. For quicker & better results take 40 grams of whey just after waking from sleep at morning. Take another 20 grams of whey just 30 minutes before workout. Again take 40 grams of whey just after you have finished your workout. Kindly remember gaining weight is a time -taking process. So do not expect any result within fortnight.
