/hb/ - Health & Beauty

Eat bigger portions of healthy food. Drink vegetable and fruit juices. Add oils to your food.

I used to be underweight aswell and if you search around there are forums dedicated to healthy weight gain. Usually it's women trying to get their periods back. It's been a while so I can't give you any links, sorry.

peanut butter cookies have been my to-go. they're pretty calorie-dense. set reminders to eat and snack too. also, celebs are getting their implants removed since 'fat' is the norm now. if you are American over 80% of us are overweight. so they want to look skinny now to stand out from the crowd.

Gain weight for the sake of your health and don't do it the shitty way. Follow this advice >>18512
Also nona, some people are just naturally petite/slender at a healthy weight. You can try to change it ofc with weightlifting.

Track your current amount of calories for a day and then add more. Add enough calories that you gain weight. If you don't eat the same kind and same amount of food each day then track it for a week and average it. I'd log calories and weight. I don't know what you mean by grease but research fats and oils. That's some good stuff

Implants? I can't follow

if you arent gaining weight you arent consuming enough calories. try to eat lots of fatty meats and nuts and use olive oil on everything, try drinking lots of milk as well.

Counting calories is really the only certain and fast way to get there. Use a calculator like this (https://fitnessvolt.com/weight-gain-calculator/) to find out how much excess you need per day.
As for eating strategies, consume more liquid, consume more mush, consume more hyperpalatable foods. Liquid = protein shakes and smoothies which you can load up with nut butter. Mush = mashed potatoes w/tons of butter, ice cream, oatmeal, anything you don't need time to chew since eating fast keeps you from getting full too soon. Hyperpalatable = things fat people get addicted to like chips, ramen, cookies, party food, cheese, extra condiments.
t. bony bitch who's not doing these things and has spent 6 months trying to gain 5 lbs

thats one way to irreversibly destroy your microbiome and become obese

Drink juice or milk with meals. I started drinking lattes instead of black coffee which seems small but it's still an extra 150 calories a day. Don't be afraid of sugar.

Hey OP how do you be skinny and underweight ? I have reverse problem

For me, I am pretty curvy, like hourglass shape with some chub on my belly and a muffin top. I have always been like this so could be genetics. But I was taught to eat everything off my plate as a kid so I tend to overeat and eat large portions. I eat carbs and meat and veggies and fruit, not really anything bad like ice cream or chips but I do have it on special occasions. I don’t exercise, go for a walk occasionally

I’d like to be svelte and ballerina sized.

when i was underweight, id eat one large meal in the middle of the day, and maybe half of a meal at dinner time. i dont recommend skipping breakfast but i didnt really eat it at the time.

Buy a pint of ice cream and put it in the fridge overnight and then drink it in the morning

idk what your issue with muscle is. building a little bit of muscle helps you gain weight and get curvy without getting sick from fast food. and muscle weighs more per volume so you can gain weight quicker. you're not going to look like a roidpig if you do a few squats and lunges.
hope this helps xx

i get you nona i wanna gain weight too bc im scrawny asf and look like a kid lol. im failing bc im not rly putting in effort to gain weight and im too laaaazy to eat which is a problem lmao. anyways look for healthy high calorie foods, theres a lot of recipes on the internet! good luck!

I’m not sure if you were giving genuine advice but I giggled hard at this.
This >>18512 is probably the correct answer if you’re still here OP. Also it’s a bit obvious but switch to full fat dairy
