I wish I could be in that position :P

It is possible for most people to gain weight. We're looking for a healthy weight gain, not just adding body fat. That means, instead of loading up on junk foods and high-fat nutritional nightmares like cookies and candies, treating yourself to nourishing foods that will help you add muscle and body mass. How? With these easy tips:

* Eat three meals every day. Yes, this means you need to get up in time for breakfast, that you can't skip lunch, and that dinner actually needs to be prepared and eaten.
* Eat three snacks every day. That's right: midmorning, midafternoon and evening. In order to gain weight, you need to fuel your body at regular times. The easiest way is to set up a schedule of three meals and three snacks.
* Stop drinking non-caloric beverages. That includes diet soda, and plain coffee or tea. You're looking for calories, right? Choose skim or 1 percent milk (we want healthy calories, not fat, so avoid milk with higher fat contents), 100 percent fruit juice or sports drinks.
* Choose calorie-dense foods. That means eating potatoes, corn or peas instead of celery and carrot sticks. Or choosing a banana or cranberry juice instead of an apple or orange juice. Granola cereal is more calorie-dense than puffed rice. Read food labels for the serving size and the calories, and make it a habit to routinely choose foods that are higher in calories.
* Expand your meals. Each meal should include some type of starchy food (potato, rice, pasta, bread, cereal), fruits and vegetables, and a protein source (chicken, red meat, fish, tofu, peanut butter, legumes, eggs, cheese). Use two or three teaspoons of margarine or salad dressing with each meal to add moderate amounts of fat without going overboard.
* Exercise. Regular exercise and activity will help your body gain muscle and not unwanted fat. Thirty minutes of daily activity is plenty to get your system moving yet not so much that you're burning up tons of calories. If you are more active, you'll need to increase your calorie intake.

listen if you eat 25 calories per pound a day you will gain weight count calories like your on a diet and if you eat that amount a day 100% you will gain weight

Eat lots of healthy food, something with dairy because that's healthy for your bones. But don't eat too much, just eat enough. Eat food like salad, fruits, vegetables, grain and drink lots of water.

Muscle weight would be better. You won't look gross or manly and it will help keep your metabolism running high. Lift two pound weights in sets of 10 reps. Ask your gym teacher or a trainer at the gym, depending on your age, for some workouts. And eat more protein. Muscle weighs more than fat so you won't gain size but still put some weight on. It will also help with the turkey flaps (your triceps) that all women must contend with regardless of age.

how is the weight not healthy if it aint muscle.... you need to learn something about weight before you want to gain it weight is either water muscle fat or organs you can gain any organs and water weight goes away fast by peeing and sweeting so you either need it in muscle or fat if you want to gain fat just eat more calories in a day then you burn and dont work out if you want to gain muscle eat protien rich foods and plenty of healthy carbs and low fat.... i can tell your young

Drink 10 pints of water.
