Best bet? Get a good nutritionist. My husband always had problems with being underweight. With a personal trainer who guided him in his weigh-training techniques he was putting on some weight but he made HUGE strides once he met with a sports nutritionist.

He went from struggling to stay at about 170'ish to a solid 190 within a very short time.

One or two visits with a nutritionist doesn't cost all that much but will be worth it in the long term with goals achieved more efficiently, healthier eating habits and training with the proper fuels in your body.

Protein-fish, chicken, beef, lots of vegetables, some cheese, nuts, olive oil, and some fruit. Easy on the bread, rice, pasta, potatoes as they are heavy carbs. Extra carbs go into fat. Higher weight-less repetition, weight lifting, built up gradually. Don't miss breakfast, most important. My 2c TW

Yeah, that is what I did, look at me! :rofl:

All kidding aside, whole grain is good and doesn't give you a high glycemic load.

It seems to me, that if you want to put on weight without gaining fat, you are going to have to put on muscle mass. That possibly means changing your workouts so they are productive in gaining mass, upping your protein intake and caloric intake. You need to work on getting your body set up so that it is condusive to gaining muscle mass. Also, drink plenty of water.

Eat more. Try to keep it clean for health purposes. All suggestions above are solid, for the most part.

Lift hard and heavy. Get plenty of rest.

Very vague, I know...but there was limited information...

Glad I could be of service!:)

I know it worked wonders for my husband...I hope you get the same results.

One tip, make sure they know how hard you work out if you train a lot. I had one nutritionist not fully understand the demands I was making of myself and had me on a near starvation diet!!!! So make sure if they aren't actually a sports nutritionist used to dealing with atheletes, that they understand your full workout.
