What's a healthy way to gain weight?

Question:

I need to gain weight! I have been getting a lot of stomach bugs and I have lost a lot of weight in the process. I want to stay healthy while gaining weight. I am a pretty petite person. Right now I weigh 96 pounds.

Answers:
Try eating alot of whole wheat things and protein :)

Eat really good calories.

dont worry about it! but if u must, carbs help gain weight.

I don't know if this is the healthiest way but my bf used to work at a fitness store and they have protein weight gainers.

eat meat

i know what you mean im 6 feet tall and 125 which is pretty skinny for how tall i am...

i will just tell you now, i am a very active girl i love all sports play varsity basketball snowboard all that good stuff so when your constantly active its hard to gain weight...i have a super high motabolism and i eat a lot of little things, i cant ever just eat like 3 big meals a day but i heard its better to just eat little snacks throughout the day...if your getting stomach bugs and dont have any food drink water it helps fill you up and can settle your stomach for awhile...

you can also try hitting up the gym and workout your muscles with weights that way your not building fat but muscle instead...its quit funny because im a super strong stick lol i am little but very muscular and strong and healthy...i know how it feels and i always am worried people think im anorexic when they first meet me but im just a skinny active girl...if you are hungry eat energy bars but the healthy ones and one thing i have found very good to settle my stomach for a long time is if i eat a lot of carbs then i try to equal the carbs with protein.example for brekfast if i have a lot of bread carbs like a bagel or cheerios i try having a little fruit and mabe some eggs or sausage that way even though i have alittle of each im getting proper nutrients and when i eat right then i feel full a lot longer and also more awake!

hope this helps :)

Eat more and exercise less.

However - at 96 pounds you sound a bit chubby to me.

eat heavy meals of rice/cereal and meat. i know what u mean...people always talk about how to lose weight, but not how to gain 'em...GAINING WEIGHT FOR PEOPLE SUCH AS OURSELVES IS HARDER THAN IT SEEMS...@_@

eat 7 dates in the morning on empty stomach daily.

Proteins are required for building muscles, so having high protein foods like eggs, milk, peanut butter, protein shakes will help you in gaining weight. Starchy foods contain a lot of carbohydrates. You can find more information at http://www.toloseweight.org/gainweight.h...
