Pretty Underweight?


Question:
I am 17, 5'9" and weigh only 130 lbs. My metabolism is pretty high and I eat more than I look like I do. I am comfortable, but would like to gain about 20 or so pounds by the end of this year. I'm not worried about becoming ripped and buff, but a little more muscle might be in my best interest. Any ideas on dieting and exercise to gain weight?

Thanks!

Answers:
protein shakes worked waonders on my ex. He was always very small, but started taking protein shakes for breakfast and working out at the gym with weights every second day. He gained a lot of muscle mass and seemed much happier with the way he looked. Don't, however, be tempted to try other dodgy things like HGH or steroids. Protein shakes just provide extra protein for your body to convert into muscle if you exercise while taking it. If you don't exercise it probably wouldn't make a difference to your shape.
Cheers.
the best way to gain weight it to eat protien...healthy protien.start with some protien shakes put any fruit and yogurt ice etc...to make a shake and pour the protien powder in it and blend...if you dont like shakes/smoothies try instant breakfast..it comes in different flavors chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry and you just add it with milk and it should help you.peanut butter, fish, chicken, etc...good luck!
dude, you should be happy with your look, alot of girls like skinny guys =]
