Right now, I am 132 pounds, 5'9, and trying to gain at least 20-30 pounds at this point in time. I've run out of ideas, I keep eating and eating, but I don't gain a single pound. Any ideas on how I can gain this weight?

no, seriously, check with your doctor, or a doctor, try pastas, steaks, etc,, or both together, also this could depend on your age, i presume it is for sport and you are 15 or so, but

It's quite possible its your metabolism.

I'm 5'10" and 65kg (about 145 pounds). About 6 months ago (before footie season I wanted to put on about 5-10kg.

I put on 5 but that was all just my natural growth. I eat lots of food, exercise regularly, but even when I was out injured for 2 months, I still don't put on weight due to my metabolism. You may well be the same.

My knowledge: Protein is good for building up muscle bulk, which is heavier (and healthier) than fat.

Chris.

Try Marine Corps boot camp!!!

I went from 5'11" 127lbs to 5'11" 155lbs when I completed boot camp.
I still remember the Series Commanders first hygiene inspection he told me to go back for seconds at the chow hall whenever I could.

Put a few years under your belt. You'll gain more weight than you'll know what to do with when you get a little older. Wait with anticipation for these glorious "chubby years".

You can try those weight gaining protein mixes they sell at gyms or at a nutritional center. They are not cheap though.

#1 tip for gaining weight as you wish is to have a burning schedule to go with it.

Freind of mine is one of Canada's top female body builders, she eats 10 meals a day, and eats a LARGE pep. Pizza every night, just so she has something to build with (and burn off in the morning).

Muscle is heavier than fat, and looks better

Eating before you go to sleep is a good way to build up empty fat cells that can easily turn into muscle. Eat foods high in fat, but not saturated fat.

from personal experience, defenitely go with working out and intake of protein. This past summer i went from 5'7 155 to 5'8 185 by working out three times a week and digesting over 80 grams of protein almost every day.

I gained a solid 15 pounds of muscle in two months. Granted I grew about 2 inches. I like to think it was my training regimen. I ate all I wanted worked out 6 days a week and took protein powder, such as whey. I bought all my stuff at Wal-Mart for half the price of the stuff at GNC.


P.S.-They have this new stuff out called Muscle Milk its expensive but works like a friggen miracle.
