i've been trying to gain weight for a few months by eating a lot more food than usual, but it seems that no matter how much i eat it's impossible for me to gain weight. i gained 5 lbs in about 3 months, and then the next 4 months i've gained nothing. i try to eat every 2hours to get in as much calories as possible but i still can't gain weight. i've tried everything from healthy diets, to weight gainer shakes, to unhealthy diets but no matter what I can't put on weight. should i see a doctor about this?

i have no clue what i'm doing wrong and please dont say "you have to push yourself and eat more" because i try to do it all the time and i always end up gagging and throwing up because it's just too much food for me to eat. i've eaten so much lately that i just hate food after a meal; i can't even bring myself to look at it without making me want to throw up at the thought of it going into my full stomach. stats are 5'11, 130 lbs, eating 4,000-4,500 calories a day, moderately active, and 6day workout 4exercise,3set,8reps per day, rest on sunday. i've gained a lot of muscle, but i want to gain weight too and it seems impossible...please share your thoughts on this, thanks.
 
you might have an insanely fast metabolism? my gf's bro is just like you. he eats A LOT and by a lot i mean sumo wrestler style, doesn't work out much... but he doesn't gain weight at all and is incredibly fit. i saw him once spend ~30-35 dollars on a SINGLE meal at WENDYS.... gross...

WOW. I know $7.11 can get you large fries, large drink, 2 cheeseburgers, and a McFlurry at McDonalds...
 
I've been thinking about this for the past few days and I think I have a solution if you haven't already tried... try mixing it up. I think your body is adapting to the changes in exercise and food intake, so you're burning a lot of cals. I'm no professional, and I'm trying to lose weight. But I think the following would work:

M: No exercise, just eat 4 meals with 600 cals each
T: Exercise, minimum
W: No exercise, just eat 1 fast food (such as Wendy's classic triple with Ice Cream or something), 3 meals with 400 cals each
R: Exercise, minimum
F: Exercise, minimum, eat oily food such as onion rings or fried chicken
S: Exercise, minimum
S: Minimum, normal food

2nd Week:
Go about your regular diet / exercise

3rd Week and beyond: alternate between until you gain weight.
 
where would you get something like that? why would you suggest anyone eat fast food? even trying to gain weight..

get your cals from good foods man.

You're right about it. :) I was just suggesting a change since he said he tried both healthy and unhealthy ways. So perhaps he needs a quick "boost" to cause him to gain a lot of weight.
 
not gonna like to read what i gotta say, :)

ur not eating enough .

whats ur diet like in a typical day? what and when do u eat
 
How old are you? Teenagers are known to have retardedly fast metabolisms due to going through the last growth spurt in life.

otherwise, we need a full nutrition breakdown from 1 day so we can see where you're going wrong.
 
My dh used to be the same way. He could eat 2 footlong chilli cheese coneys and a Route 44 DrPepper, and not even blink. He didn't like fries, so he would order 2 cheeseburgers instead (and not the little ones).

Although, the closer he got to 30, the more wt he started gaining. He will pretty much never be overweight, but he started to see a gradual change in his weight.

The only thing that got him to stop eating like that (he thought all was cool since he wasn't fat) - was when his blood work showed borderline high cholesterol, his LDL/HDL ratio was bad, and his triglycerides were really high---in a nutshell, he was on the fast track to a heart attack, stroke, or both. Don't think that not being fat means you can eat a bunch of fast food, etc and be OK.

Bulking takes dedication, just like cutting does, and there is a lot more to it than just eating a whole lot, so you may need to develop a specific program.

Also, remember that some people can follow a cutting program to the letter, but their genetics makes it more difficult than others to lose weight. The same applies to bulking. It may just be a bit harder for you than for others, but you can't let that keep you from trying to reach your goals (in a healthy manner). Downing a lot of fast food in an attempt to gain wt is the equivalent of upchucking food in an attempt to lose weight - they are both the wrong way to go about it.
