since i am underweight, I would like to know what kind of meals I should be eating. I also want to get some exercising in as well to help build a good muscle tone for both health and look but I don't want it to interfere with my gaining weight.

work out more, lol. Might work. Pick up running or something where being light helps.

Also go for like "traditional" hearty american cuisine. Eggs and bacon for breakfast, 2% or whole milk with cereal.

ok, in addition to those: peanut butter, and whole milk. you might also want to invest in a weight gainer. but when you take it, just do half of what it tells you to take. that'll lessen the chance of fat storage.

should i just do basic push ups and and curls ups and bike riding for now, until i gain some weight ?

How old are you? My doctor has consistently told me I was underweight. Who knows, maybe because I was a premature baby or something? The point is, there is no perfect defintion for "underweight". You look pretty skinny, but I looked pretty damn skinny too. Just eat a lot, and eat healthy.

Already said this so many times on /fit/ since its creation. There is no cure for "genetics".

Food that is very energy dense will help. I eat PowerBar Protein Plus between workout days and they're the size of a candybar with 290 calories a pop. Peanuts, egg whites, and as mentioned, steak and pasta are also good sources.

Since you already posted this shit earlier, I won't put a lot of effort into replying.

That said, eat 40/40/20 protein/carbs/fat @ 3000-4000 calories a day spread across 6-8 meals. Work it out on an excel spreadsheet to make sure you're getting enough calories.

In addition, go to the gym at LEAST 3 times a week. A day 1/day 2 workout is just fine for starters (what I started out with). Or your can do a push/pull/legs spread, ie triceps/bench/shoulders on monday, biceps/back on wednesday, legs on friday. Something basic like that. Be sure to have MORE than enough protein, and a solid breakfast. Polyunsaturated fats are a must (peanut butter, olive oil, etc), along with a multivitamin. Get some protein powder. Go around on the internet, check out http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=998224 the rippetoes program. It does wonders for manlets like you, AS LONG AS YOU EAT ENOUGH. If you're having trouble getting enough protein in your diet, start loading up on the tuna and canned chicken. It's awesome and easy.

tl;dr, eat like a son of a bitch and train like a motherfucker. You gotta eat big to get big, so get on that.

Just because all you got in your other thread was "eat steak and pastas" doesn't mean it's bad advice.

fuck that hardgainer shit. He's just an underage b&. I was like that when I was a little fag, just because he's not a fat sack of crap he's a hardgainer? People believe that about themselves and use it as an excuse (I know because I do and I do).

well, all i could take him for was his word. in the otehr thread he claimed he had a hard time gaining weight. so i give him advice like he is a hardgainer.

yeah, but the advice you gave is good all around if they're trying to gain weight, unless they're like teh supreme endo or something.

I've found that calling yourself a "hardgainer" or saying "i'm just a hyooge ecto" is just getting yourself in the wrong mindset, even if it's true.

Any clues as to why you're underweight first?

Do you have any medical condition?
Are your parents and close relatives notably slim?
Do you eat regularly?

I'm guessing you're just naturally slim due to being a youngster with a high metabolism. What kind of meals? Large. Regular set times throughout the day. Snacking will keep your metabolism highly active and dampen your weight gain. So restrict your meal time to say, an hour frame max and eat nothing between.

When you do eat said meals, during those times make sure you get a balanced meal, i.e. everything you need. And then feel free to eat on top of that, apart from the obvious no-go areas like soda and extremely sugary crap. Once you're done (as full as possible), refrain from consuming anything except water until the next meal.

As long as you're sure you've got the correct nutrients for your meal, eating on top of that until you're comfortably full is a reasonable move, unless it's junk.

As for your muscles, toning requires high rep exercises which, generally speaking, burn alot of calories and will, to some extent, interfere with your weight gain. What I recommend are short, high intensity exercises such as sprinting (I'm assuming you're not the type to go to a gym and try to 'bulk'). Try a few low rep bodyweight exercises such as pushups, pullups, and if you're good at this, handstand pushups.

This is bullshit. Stop giving out bad advice.

How fucking old is that pic/How much of an underage b& are you?

Alright, it probably won't affect it in a major way. And I'm aware higher weight and lower rep exercises can burn just as many calories. But being honest, I don't see the OP hitting the gym anytime soon, so I recommended a safe compromise.

I hope you know which advice to head and which to not, because if you take all the advice in this thread, you fall flat on your face.
