I'm a 14 year old girl, 5'5", and everyone tells me I'm too skinny. I guess I am skinny, cause I only weigh around 90 pounds on a good day. Sometimes even 87. I really want to gain weight so that I can fit into more clothes and feel better about myself. I tried eating a whole lot, but I only gained like 2 pounds because I have a fast metabolism. I am also a healthy ovo-vegetarian, which means I don't eat meat, cheese, milk, high fructose corn syrup, any GMO's (genetically modified organisms), aspartame, even enriched flour. So it's hard for me to gain weight by just eating bread, fruit, veggies, granola, and eggs. Any tips on how to gain weight? My goal is 100 pounds by the end of the year. Thanks <3
How to Lose Weight Without Eating Healthy
Recommended Answer:
I had the same problem. I couldn't gain weight at all. I just started eating like a pig and lifting weights. It helped me move up from 112 to 130. Having a fast metabolism is very annoying when you're trying to gain weight. You may talk to a doctor, if your metabolism is too fast, then it's life.threatening. it's called an overactive metabolism if I remember right. You can't gain weight quickly by not eating meat and dairy products. They help you gain the most weight. I'd say that your diet is the biggest problem with your low weight. Anyways, if you eat a lot right before you sleep, it helps you gain weight. Some people say to eat junk food, that's not a great thing to do. There is good weight, and bad weight. One if from healthy food such as meats, breads, dairy, ans vegetables, and the other is from soda and junk food.

- Maybe go to your GP or a dietician and they can't tell you how much you have to eat to gain weight. You're beautiful Hun, and I'm glad that you're trying to gain, it's refreshing to hear. Good luck with it! :)
- Im 16 5'5 and weigh about 102 but when I was your age I weighed about the same as you. My advice to you is love yourself as you are. Do you know how many women/girls wish they could be skinny? Tons! So love it. People that tell you that you're too skinny can kiss off. They're probably mad cause they aren't your size. I can fit all my clothes, thank God. But just be happy with who you are
- eat tablets for gaining weight. eat a cheeseburgers ? and eat snacks between your meal. and eat late night snack. HEAVY late night snack. i guess that works. You really are lucky. to have a strong metabolisms. i used to starve myself. well, not literally but you know, i eat peanuts instead of heavy meals to lose weight.
- To gain weight you need to combine protein foods with starchy carbohydrates as indicated below. Good weight gaining combinations are bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes or sweet potatoes combined with meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, nuts or sea food. Peanut butter sandwiches and cheese sandwiches are good weight gaining combinations. The protein in the above combinations will help to gain extra muscles.
