5'7" and I weigh 100lbs.. please help me

[NormanNormal]

Hello everyone, I've registered to post this question.. I'm not sure which board was best so I just posted it here, hope this is acceptable to the mods.

yes thats my real height and weight.. I am tired of being a skeleton. I really just want to gain weight and put some meat on my bones, I dont care if it is muscle or fat.

Some background, I usually wake up late every day and skip breakfast, I eat a small lunch and dinner. I usually have some snacks in between such as some ice cream cones, crackers, cookies, etc.. However I don’t really eat much, I have always been very thin and im not really all that into food.

I need to get some kind of organization going, wake up early eat a big breakfast, keep track of cals and intake, take multi-vitamins, etc. I'm just not sure how I can put it all together and exactly what I need to do to make it most effective. I am open to any suggestions.

Also what kind weight gainer/supplement drink do you all recommend? I've seen some powders and stuff you can mix that has upwards of 2000 cals. Should I take this stuff 3 times a day?

I am a weakling and am not interested in working out, I think I just need to eat and gain some weight to start.. my first goal is to gain 20 lbs, and ultimately I want to get into the "normal" weight range for my height and look decent. (in other words not a skin and bones stick)

Thanks so much for any help, I can't even get health insurance because I'm so underweight, I really want to beat this problem..

I don't get it, it sounds like you know exactly what you need to do. How old are you? If you are under 21, you might still grow into your body some. Otherwise, just like you said, you need to start eating larger and more regular meals. Weight gain shakes can help, but you need to change your diet first, thats the problem.

Just playing bro. Just eat and eat some more and do no cardio you will start to gain eventually.

Are you a male or a female?

Increase your complex carbohydrate intake, take a multivitamin, and try working out a little. It's quite fun if you can get yourself to start. The 2000 calorie shakes you are referring to taste like ass. Have you tasted ass? It's not good. Stick with regular food, and look into "weight gainers" later on. If you're a girl try pregnancy, you will gain wait (this is a joke).

Well, forget the supplements. You need real food. Gaining fat weight is not the same as muscle weight, for the simple reason that fat will be bad for your health in the long term. So focus yourself to gain muscle weight. Then go to a doc and ask him for a complete blood test to make sure that everything is going well with your body. Now to the food. If you have a small launch and the a dinner with some junk snacks between them, well you're killing yourself. You have to start reading this board about nutrition and make a good plan for you. You should be eating 5 or 6 meals per day, not big but very nutritive. I'm not going into more details about food because you have to read and learn about it first. Other thing, you have to sleep well. No less than 7 hours and no more than 9. Once you've set up those things, start lifting weights. Come back for that when you are finally eating and resting well.

not working out is going to slow down your weight gain big time. have you ever considered just doing the basic exercises. squats - mon, bench - wend, dealifts - fri.
if you only do the core movements then your workouts will only last about 30-45 minutes, 3 times a week. and then youll gain some serious size and get some use out of all that food your consuming.

I've been there done that ... i was 5'7'' 85lbs (8th grade playing football at the time starting both ways)... skinny halocaust child that didn't eat anything. well i ate three times a day, maybe four, but i was inconsistent...

today i'm 5'9'' 132lbs (3-7% body fat) trying to become 145 all muscle...(3-6% BF)

i gained a lot of weight eating junk... which was bad... patatoes were bad and cheap, they made my heart valves very clogged. This reduced my mile times and cardio a lot... it nearly killed my long distance running, i could run 2 miles without a stress on my heart, now i cannot run 1/4 mile without 180 BPS (beats per minute)

i gained 20 lbs in four months eating a lot of bad food ( would not recommded it ) this 20 lbs was not good weight... so i became 5'8'' 105 in four months (while still growing from 5'7 85lbs)... this was to play football back when i was 9th grade ( started both ways that year RB(four back)WR/CB/S.... eating 5-6 small meals a day is a good start. no more than 2 egg whites/ day... adjust so you can eat 2200 cal a day then keep moving it up slowly... eat a lot of fish/tuna/meat... build up so you can get at least 2700 a day!

lift at least every other day/diff body parts each day, pick three parts of the body/per day... ex: chest/tricep/legs... then next day: forearm bicep calves... etc... slowly develop the habit of lifting, then lift 5 days of the week with rest inbetween.

I think you need to go to a buddhist mountain retreat and seriously contemplate food.

Seriously though, you need to frickin eat man.

Good luck.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

you do realize you are on a bodybuilding forum, right? if you want to really gain weight, remember that muscle weighs more than fat. plus, if you are really 100 pounds you could be one ripped up Mother. EAT EAT EAT! and lift too.
