i just cant GAIN weight!!!
i am turning 32 and i weight in at 115.
i feel normal and perfectly fine but i look like a twig.
i don't do much other than sit in front of the computer all day, i eat 3 times a day, pretty much everything from steaks to fried garlic shrimps. my main diet is rice, eggs, pasta, and meat. i also eat salad and drink a lot of kale/pineapple juices. i also take in hemp seeds and drink a whey protein shakes here and there.

Re: i just cant GAIN weight!!!
lucky you.

If you want to gain weight, its easy. Just buy organic virgin cold pressed oil (a good quality one, so it tastes good) and eat a cup a day. You'll be fat in no time (disclaimer: you could get a heart attack too).

Drink a lot of full flavor beer like Hefeweizen's.

Then eat dessert pastries and lots of cheese heavy stuff, like cheese burgers and Mexican food. Those little bags of frozen pasta combination bags at the grocery store are packed with fat and calories too.

Order a lot of take out, that will give you weight in no time, restaurants dump the shit into foods. I used to only east carry out, from nice restaurants to, luckily in LA we have lots of delivery services, so anything is possible, I gained so much weight it was sickening.

quit the smokes, and start strength training exercise. keep up your protein and fat intake. you'll build muscle mass, but it will be slow going. some of us are just "wired" for thin.

Re: i just cant GAIN weight!!!
Listen to me, everything I'm about to tell you is the truth, and you CAN and WILL gain a healthy ratio of muscle/fat following this, regardless of what you think you may or may not be "able" to do.
I was 225lbs in high school, but fat, not muscular. I joined the army, and i ended up at 160lbs(im 6 ft). When I came out of the army, I started weight lifting, and met this trainer who was 260lbs with 8% body fat. He looked just like ronnie coleman, or any other professional bodybuilder as far as the average joe is concerned. I shadowed him in the gym for a while, and I've been hooked ever since. I gained 100 lbs in 1 year, from 160 to 260, then continued on to 300. Now at 300lbs I had 20 % body fat, sure, but I didn't mind. i felt strong, fast, just so fast and explosive that you wouldn't believe your eyes when a 300lb guy outsprints your 150lb guys. From being a nobody in high school, now in college I was the big guy. The feeling of walking into a room and the energy people give off to you is unbelievable. either a) they want to be your friend, or b) they want to challenge you because subconsciously you make them feel inferior. Now with all that being said, here is how you do it.


First figure out your BMR. There are plenty of calculators online, and with that you will figure out how many calories you need daily to maintain your current weight. Then it's just a matter of adding to that and staying above it everyday. Now if you don't weight train forget about gaining "respectable" weight. You'll just get fat.

So as an example, I weigh 265lbs right now. I need 3700 calories a day just to maintain my weight.
Once you have your daily calories, you divide them 40/40/20. Now what that means is out of 3700 calories, 40 % are protein, 40% are carbs, 20% are fats. 1 gram of fat is 9 calories. 1 gram of protein and 1 gram of carbs are both 4 calories each.

if you read this far, please please, follow my advice. I train people for money everyday, and have changed some friends physiques in record time. I will give you two cases that are similar to yours.
guy A and guy B.

guy A has been 130lbs and under his entire life, he is 23. He has never ever been above that weight, no matter how " hard" hes tried. guy A after 10 weeks of training with me just 4x a week, and following the prescribed diet to a t, was sitting at 165lbs. His vascularity increased, his body fat DECREASED, and his abs actually became larger and more defined. this is just 10 weeks. In the grand scheme of things 10 weeks is the blink of an eye.

guy B has never been above 140lbs in his life, and does heavy martial arts training. He told me his fantasy was to be 180lbs, and if one day he could achieve such a thing he would be ecstatic beyond belief. after 3 and a half months of training with me he was 185. He gained 45 pounds. he was grossly lean before he started, but at 185lbs his 6 pack still showed and was even thicker and stronger than it was at 140. He ran faster and longer, his cardio was better and all of this translated into him being a much more powerful and dominant martial artist.

So now I have given you my own story, as well as the story of 2 personal friends.

You have a choice. Will you change your life today? Or will tab out of this and dismiss it?
It won't be easy. But nothing worth having is. BUt it wont be HARD either. transforming your body requires two things. First the knowledge on what moves to make, and I have given this to you. Second the determination/discipline to stick to the prescription. If you combine these 2 things, you will be a new person, and your family wouldn't even recognize you.

TLDR,
if you weight 115lbs do this

eat 200 grams of protein a day
eat 300 grams of carbs a day
eat 125 grams of fat a day

buy a carb shake like universal real gains, or any other carb shake.

1 of my shakes gives me 55g protein 85g carbs 8g fat. this is like 650 calories in 1 shake. I have 3 of these daily, and then 3 meals with the same macros(55 protein 80ish carbs 8 fat). MILK is natures carb shake. 8g protein 8g fat 11g carbs. whole milk is even better. Also whole eggs, never discard yolk.

as far as training goes follow this strictly until you reach 175lbs.
chest/triceps
back/biceps
off
legs/calves
shoulders/arms
off

chest - 4 sets flat dumbbell press, 6 8 10 12 reps
4 sets incline dumbbell press, 6 8 10 12 reps
4 sets cable flys, 8,10,12,15 reps
4 sets dips(if you cant dip use the dip machine) 6 8 10 12
2 sets strict cable tricep pushdowns 10 15 reps
every 3rd week replace the dumbbells with flat/incline bench.

back- 6 sets cable pulldowns, 6 8 8 10 12 12
3 sets wide grip, 3 sets normal shoulder width. your palms should face away
3 sets bent over dumbbell rows 8 10 12 reps
3 sets seated cable rows 8 10 12 reps
2 sets shrugs 8 12 reps
3 sets deadlifts 5 8 10 reps
you can throw in a set or 2 of bicep curls if you have anything left in the, but this should indirectly fry them already

legs- 6 sets back squats 6 8 10 12
3 sets leg press 6 10 12
3 sets lunges 12 each side
3 sets RLD/SLDL 6 8 10

shoulders- 5 sets dumbbell press(seated) 6 8 10 12 12
3 sets side raises 8 10 12
3 sets reverse flys 8 10 12
2 sets front raises
4 sets bicep curls
4 sets skullcrushers


as far as how to PROPERLY execute these exercises, I have given you the names, and since you obviously have internet you must google/youtube all of these exercises, and do them PROPERLY, stressing FORM 100% of the time. Forget about the weight until you have the FORM.

TLDDR

if you follow what I've said you will gain weight. if you make excuses for why you cant do this or that then you won't. I transformed two friends who laughed at me when i told them they would be the person they always wanted to be if they listened to me. these guys are the definition of " hard gainers ". THey didnt believe the possibility of getting big. but they did, and in record time. I went from 160-260 in 11 months, my bench went from 135 to 365, my squat from 150 to 400, my deadlift from 150 to 500. one year, no drugs, just shakes, food, and multivitamins/fish oil/amino acids.
It's always obvious which clients of mine dont succeed because they spend all day thinking of lies to tell me when I ask them how they ate. Almost all of my clients are men trying to gain weight, and the ones who do whats prescribed always succeed. The ones who complain about why they cant deadlift, or why they cant eat 3 shakes and 3 meals a day are the ones who never really wanted it in the firs tplace. They wanted to be "buff" but they didn't want to do what it takes.

I know this is long, but nobody else responded to you, and this is something I'm passionate about, and it would make me very happy if you used any of this information to better yourself.

now for a quick disclaimer, I am not a doctor, or any kind of medical professional. This information is just my 2 cents, and its up to you what you do with it. always consult a physician before starting any diet/exercise regiment. I cannot and will not be held liable for you injuring yourself in one way or another.

Re: i just cant GAIN weight!!!
Forget people telling you to drink beer...unless you just want to gain fat! alcohol inhibits protein synthesis, which is counter productive to muscle growth. People telling you to drink beer and eat junk aren't really trying to help you, they are trying to make clever and witty posts. In reality they don't give a shit how you end up. Unless of course I'm completely mistaken and your goal to gain weight wasn't to get bigger and stronger, but literally to just gain a few pounds of fat. IN which case just eat more calories than you burn daily, and just eat any kind of empty calories, like the enlightened gentlemen above suggested, beer. or potato chips, or whatever the fuck you want.

CHECK FOR PARASITES

like swine worms etc

they live in your stomach and eat what you eat so you cant gain weight

get a probe of your shit and take it to the doctor, he'll examine your shit

it can be dangerous if you aren't treated.
