so I'm on a weight gain program, eating roughly 2500-3000 calories a day until I reach a healthy bmi. However I've been asking myself – what would be the healthy ratio of fat:muscle for me to have? obviously I want to gain both, but how do I know I'm doing it right (ie. not gaining too much fat)?

I have made up my mind to get bigger and need help gaining. I have never been overweight, but think pudgy women are so sexy and decided I want to be a little fat myself.

I am 120 and 5 foot 5 and half and think 150 to 165 would be great for me. Size 12 or so. I am a tight 5, size 7 is my comfy size.

Please dont be rude and make unkind remarks about gaining. All I want is advise on things that work for women to gain weight. I am more interested in gaining fat, not muscle.

Also, I am more interested in what works, not necessarily healthy food, but I am not opposed to delicious healthy things.

You can IM me too, I have my IM deal turned on.

I started my weight gain program today by quiting my aerobic classes and buying a few things like lots of coke and ice cream. But I want suggestions from women who are ectomorphs or tend to be naturally thin.

Myself I never have been heavy and cant wait, but its hard for me so I want advise from women who are thin naturally.
In other words I want advice from women, or men who are naturally thin and have gained before. How did you override your genes. What works for us thin people? Personal experiences are better advice than just telling me things that have calories. I already know that, and it doesn't work for me since I already eat alot of fattening things and dont ever gain.
I am sick of the health remarks. I already evaluated that. What I really need is suggestions from women in particular who are normally thin and found foods or ways of eating that make you pudgy, since its hard for me. Smile. Thank you so much.

I am in late 20s and have been thin all my life. At 5'6" and 117, I am tired of being thin and have always felt fluffy pudgy women were much prettier.

I asked in the food forum about gaining and they mentioned that drinking is a great way to gain weight.

I rarely drink, but I do love it when I do and need suggestions of drinks that will put weight on me and how to drink them.

It is so exciting the idea of drinking as part of my weight gain program.

Please NO LECTURES. I know I will get a few stretch marks and the health issues.

Perhaps women could make suggestions particularly if you are naturally thin also and found certain drinks put weight on you.

I have been trying for 2 weeks so far with no results. I have been drinking sugar pops and eating bigger portions and more often, but not one pound gained yet. I must have a odd thin gene.

But I am committed to this and am determined to get pudgy, so please tell me any secrets or suggestions you might have.

Thank you

Angelina
My IM works if you want to personally give me suggestions or want to be added to my update list.
I am not considering ever losing the weight. Knowing how I am, once I gain I will tend to keep the weight I bet. Likely it will involve lots of changes in how I eat and those habits wont break, nor would I want them to. I want to gain weight and be and stay pudgy. My belly is flat now, but the idea of a beer belly is kinda exciting. I bet I get one doing this.

I started my weight gain program. So far I have gotten the best ideas from friends and here on answers.

Program.

Hagen Daaz pint right before bed every night this week.

Eating garlic bread, french bread style with tons of butter lots every day.

No breakfast.

One really full round meal, meat potato, desert style for dinner.

Lots of fattening snacks like peanut butter and crackers.

I am not going to weigh till friday.

Now please no smart remarks on how unhealthy it is to gain weight. I totally understand lots of people cannot understand how someone would want to be pudgy, but I think pudgy women are far prettier. I am trying to gain fat, not muscle. I utterly care less about health for the moment. Also I know I will get some stretch marks and dimples.

I know I probably wont lose it once i gain it.

What I need is fresh ideas to give my diet variety of fattening and delicious foods so I can keep gaining. I am trying to gain 40 lbs. I am sick of thin.

Know what I mean? I've been on a lot of weight gain program and everytime a masturbate, I'm always feeling guilty about it. But I really can't help it, that's the only way I can pamper myself. I'm just wonderin' if that has something to do with my weight gain program because they're always failing.
Plus, in our culture, or let me say, in colloquial thinking of anybody, if a guy as thin or has less weight, they're associating it in a way that, that man must be masturbating everyday, so that's why he can't get fat.

See what I mean, I'm always being joked like that, I and don't like it!!!
Sometimes people are stupid!

Ive been trying to gian weight since I was 11 and I'm almost 13. I'm tired of seeing all these weight loss programs and not one weight gain program! There are still skinny people in America. I've done all that dont excersize just sit down and eat a lot but its not working! I'm only 95 lbs and I gain weight regularly (like 10 lbs a year) just like anyone else but that isnt from trying to gain weight, that's just natural. I wanna be able to gain weight! I had too much of this and I'm tired of everybody making fun of me. I'm nice! I never call someone fat unless I don't like that person! I'm tired of people acting like they can just push me around just cause I have no body fat. It's annoying. No matter how hard I try. I could say I have fast metabolism but I'm not really sure cause I never go to the doctor. As a matter of fact, I dont even know if thats where you find out your metabolism speed. My parents suck.=( I'm kinda getting off topic but I just wanna know a good way to gain weight

Ive just recently realized that i express myself more through physical activity. I’m not much into sports because of the competitive-ness but I’d really want to consider Gym, a trainer, a weight gain program (im really skinny) and maybe even a martial art. I swear to myself that im going to be extra dedicated to this but I’m not sure if my parents want to get it for me. they say their not sure if ill make good use of all those stuff cus i never really worked out before, but i know it, i just know that this will be something I’m going to love to do. everything, from a trainer at the gym to a martial art to get my feelings out. it seems like a hell of a lot but i am going to put it to maximum use. how do i convince them to help me with this? if i pull off the “i love doing this” they’re just going to say its too expensive, which is probably true. Ive never done anything too physical in my life and its only now where i realized that this is something Ive always wanted to do. I’m 16 and very thin, i really really want to gain weight so i wouldn’t look so wimpish, but its not just that, i know that this is something i love to do. i express my feelings through writing, but I just realized that i express them and let them out better through physical activity. so how do i convince my parents to help me with this? it seems like saying all of this to them isn’t even enough.

I'm on a weight gain program because I've recently been very ill and lost 40 pounds, so the doctors have me taking in 2500 calories (WHICH IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE…my goodness). Most of my calories are coming from carbs and natural sugars, some unnatural sugars because that seems easiest to me…like fruit, sorbet, fruit juice, jam etc. but i don't know if that's healthy, or if that will put on "healthy" weight for me. I DONT want to gain all the weight back in just my stomach!!! I want to gain it back all over, evenly! So I was wondering if anyone had food reccomendations that help with that…and I know that a lot of you will reccomend excercise, and i know that…it's just that right now i'm still recovering and too weak to weight train, though i do a little bit of walking during the day. Any Advice?
