How Do I Gain Body Weight Quickly?

It is true to say that some people are genetically predisposed to being "skinny," but by following certain rules, it is possible to fight genetics and add body weight in a relatively short period of time. Naturally, it is important not to simply get fat, but to actually put on muscle in a healthy, structured way.

Instructions

• 1

  Eat plenty of foods rich in protein. Eating "junk" food may help you put on body weight in fat, but if you eat foods rich in protein, you will be able to convert the food intake into muscle mass, and quickly gain body weight.

• 2

  Work out regularly to increase your muscle and, in turn, your body weight. Speak to a fitness instructor or a worker at your local gym to work out an exact plan, but you should be aiming for resistance training at least three times a week, as well as regular sports and cardiovascular exercises such as jogging.

• 3

  Drink protein shakes. When athletes want to gain body weight quickly, protein shakes are often a staple of the plan. These drinks give your body a massive dose of protein in one shake, and this can be turned into muscle by exercise to quickly build healthy body weight.

• 4

  Train yourself to eat more meals during the day. Have your three main meals, as well as three to four snacks during the day to build body weight over a short period of time.
