Answers:
Try some natural weight gain formulas, or natural herbs . Don't use synthetic protein formulas available in food stores or health food stores. You can use herbs like Ashwagandha, for weight gain and muscle strength. Also do some exercise, work out.
You can also check website www.planetayurveda.com and write to natural medicine experts there. They give free consultations and the site is good.

do resistance training (w/ weights) and eat even more, try to eat around 100g of protein a day.

to gain weight take way protein

If you really want to gain some weight, start lifting weights and go out to your local GNC and buy a good weight gainer. These shakes have over a thousand calories, and will really help put on the pounds. Lifting weights will help to increase your muscle mass, making you gain weight and also making you look better.

It is all about calorie intake. You need to eat a lot of protein. Lean meats, chicken, lean turkey, tuna, and fish. Weight training will help as long as your eating a high protein diet. At your age your metabolism is burning a lot of calories without much work, so make sure you eat 4 high protein meals evry day. Good luck.

why would you want to gain weight?
well eating helps a little but not much.
my friend is sixteen and weighs 120. if
she goes 110 or under her mom is going
to put her on therapy and over a two month
period she has gained a pound she used to be
111 and she ate terribly.well it has
been 5 months now and she gained 9
pounds without realizing it. just go with the
flow and you will gain weight.

PROTEIN, but don't over do it, i used to train and i look like a monster thanks to protein, how ever over doing it will stuff up you liver badly.i would know.

Don't worry, I'm 5'9" and only 128. I've been told to take protein shakes everyday, and make sure to exercise and also workout if I want to. I haven't tried it yet, but it's probably our best bet. I'm happy with who I am, but I don't seem to get many second looks from the ladies. Try eating more than usual, but don't overdo it. I got sick from trying to do that.

eat more drink protein shakes,...
