Want to gain weight on more than just belly?!
Question: I am 18 years old and have been quite slim my entire life. 4 years ago I used to be 6 feet 130 lbs. At one point I decided to really focus on putting on weight maybe more through eating than working out . Anyways Im now about 6 foot 2 and weigh around 160 lbs but the problem is ALL of the weight went to my belly. Now I'm definitely not worried about being fat or anything but when I first started to really try gaining weight I thought I would get thicker arms and legs aswell. Instead I've now got this small beer belly and girly for lack of a better term arms and legs(sounds kinda funny but not that funny anymore). I do go to the gym, not crazy hardcore or anything, and have gained mass on biceps and that. However, my wrists are still skinny as ever, I can still easily overlap my fingers around them. I have contemplated sit ups and that but it doesn't seem logical that situps would cause weight to go to my wrists, I would probably just gain no weight at all. Any tips?

to be basic.. you just have to eat more calories than you burn in a day... if i were you i would try eating 3500 calories a day or more also try eating 3 regular meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) with snacks in between them... ... you can also take weight gainer to help supplement.. i also recommend that you keep lifting weights if you want bigger muscles you need to lift heavier weight.. try lifting a weight that is difficult for you to lift six time but you are able to complete... once that weight is light enough for you to lift 10 times its time for you to add more weight... and try not to eat a lot of fatty fast foods because you will just get fat... but a lot of lean meats, whole wheat bread, nuts, and always fruits and veggies... and i wouldn't worry too much about the wrists because I'm 6'3" 190lbs and i can wrap my finger around my wrists also... that just means i have little wrists but the rest of me is jacked!!!
