Question

I am a very skinny girl (90 lbs at 5’3”) and I am looking to gain weight. Wherever I look, it says to work out. I do have an interest in exercising anyway. But, Isn’t that just going to make me lose weight? What kind of food should I be eating to gain weight / what kind of workouts should I do?

Answer

For me personally after I had baby 1 I was 97 pounds and I'm 5'1 . I was very fit before my daughter but that breastfeeding drained all my fat I had lol. After I worked out and would eat immediately after. Dont wait 45 minutes. Do it after at least cause its then when your body absorbs the most. I ate a lot of carbs like whole wheat pasta since I love spaghetti and chicken and lots of veggies and fruits. I'm now at 137 and gained all my weight back and muscle.  Might work for you(:

Answer

I'm 4'11. I used to weighed 38kg and now I weigh 45kg (100lbs)
In order to gain weight, I increased my calorie intake by adding 500kcal per day in my diet. (I chose to add a banana and 60cl of cocoa milk in my diet)
The best sport to gain mass is weightlifting. Thus, I build muscle but I don't burn too many calories. I avoided cardio workouts such as running, HIIT, fitness class, etc...
The advantage with weightlifting (or even strength bodyweight workout) is that you can have a lean body but with  a healthy weight !
If you stick to a plan, you can do it, it's not that hard and your body will get used to your new lifestyle 😉

Answer

Stock up on good healthy fats like nuts, avacado, meat, cheese etc. Building muscle will help you gain more too.

Answer

I know eating certain foods can help, I had the same problem and couldn’t gain weight. I know for a fact that almonds and nuts are supposed to be good for healthy weight gain.

Answer

Increase your calorie intake, look into mass gainers and you can work out, however, you don't want to over train. (30-45 mins 4x a week)

Answer

Your best bet would be to eat bigger and healthy meals, and lifting weights 🏋️‍♀️, going on treadmills and elliptical might help🤷‍♀️ but they aren’t as effective as people make them out to be😑 hope this helps☺️
