Any advice on my weight gaining situation?

So I have a really fast metabolism, am about 6' (180cm) and weigh around 130 lbs (54kg I think). Not good. I'm also pretty dang unhealthy and sedentary, though not entirely incapable of doing physical labor. However, an issue I've seemed to have developed is a small appetite. I always found food to be a pain. I'd rather do other things than eat. So telling me to shovel food into my mouth won't really help, at least initially.

Anyway, any advice on how to gain some weight and any exercise tips so I don't die at, like, 50?

I've been through a similar issue myself growing up. My metabolism was extremely high and was skin and bones. I had to eat a lot not only to keep some weight on me but I also had to eat to keep from passing out. I also hate to eat a lot because it's just annoying sometimes to eat when you just don't fucking feel like it lol.

My advice to you is to eat more protein then anything. Make sure you have a variety of veggies and complex carbs as well, but protein is the most important thing to have in your diet when you have a high metabolism. If you don't feel like eating you can look into protein based drinks to supplement the times you don't wish to eat.

They say to have 6 small meals throughout the day, but I never really followed that myself, rather I just ate 2-3 and had a snack here and there. Believe me you don't have to do everything the doctors say, what they advise is just a guideline for you to follow based on the information they know that is very generalized. Try different things and find a system that works for you.

Be careful with processed foods and snacks. It's okay to have chips and a soda, just don't make that your meal all day every day. I know I eat a lot of processed food, but I go through cycles where I'll have mac and cheese or some BBQ wings and the next day having a tofu sandwich. The big thing is to have variety in your meals, have fun trying all kinds of foods and combination of things. Go from Italian to vegan to Indian to Mexican, etc.

It's also good to cut back on more processed and junk style foods so you have more energy to remain active. I know when I pig out on candy and chips for a day I don't want to do shit except sleep, but when I eat more sensibly I have a lot more energy.

tl;dr - look into more protein based foods, eat veggies and complex carbs, cut back on the junk and sweets, and lastly don't sweat it man. Even though you are skinny don't freak and push yourself too hard to change right away. When I was nothing but bones I freaked out my health was on the line, but when I pushed too hard to change it made my health worse. In the end I accepted that my body is a little different as are most bodies so you just do what you think is best.

Edit: also calorie counting and exercise can help with weight gain though too tired to go into it atm sorry!

You need to find where your caloric surplus is...meaning how much food you need to gain weight. But if I was you, I'd eat lean meat and nuts and good carbs to gain muscle mass. I think that it is way healthier than gaining fat by eating junk. But count your calories and write a journal on what you need to eat to get to a surplus. Your best bet is to start on small snacks throughout the day since your metabolism is strong and needs constant food. But don't go over 6+.

Stop with the food blah-blah. First of all, see your doctor and make a complete check, even if you're in good health/shape. Some hormonal disorders may hinder any food-take to gain weight.

As for eating a lot... you may gain metabolism disorders instead of "gaining" anything. Meaning you might still be skin and bones yet be getting : serious arterial problems, lost of more weight, food allergies, etc.

The faster and safer to get weight ? Practice sport to build your musculature. Yet, build it fast, it's gone as fast ; build it carefully, it'll remain longer. Do not take protz on your own : talk properly with your family doctor or a sport physician, it won't hurt and they will help you to make a safe and efficient diet for your very own case.

Never stop sport, even just walking an whole afternoon per week or 1-2 hours everyday to work/school and back home. Plus, sport technically make you hungry in a safer way than just searching over the Web how to get fatter.

eat all day. it dosent have to be a lot of food, or even fatty food, just bring a bag of snacks with you when you go out, and munch on somthing all day

Exercise can seem like a drag but even a bit like 20 minutes is good enough. It can be stuff like going on a walk or even some yoga/pilates on your bedroom floor. Once you start you will get into it and might even spend more time than you planned on it. As long as you get your heart rate up, youre already doing your body a favour. Also you can do stuff like listen to podcasts, music or watch something while you exercise which makes it less boring .

Like everyone said, a high calory or protein intake might help with weight gain. But most people have a set weight 'limit' and just cannot go over that or under it, so it's worth keeping it in mind.

Are you eating breakfast? Basically if you're not eating breakfast it's probably the cause for your small appetite. Eating breakfast pretty much tells your brain that you need food for the rest of the day. A balanced diet is very important. Food works by calories not by how much you eat. You'll also want to exercise 30m-1h very day. That's literally the best advice I can give you. If that doesn't work than I would recommend talking with a nutritionist.

The most important thing that controls weight gain or loss is calorie surplus or deficit.
Calculate your daily expenditure and start logging everything you eat. Find out a way to eat at the level you want. I like to eat and drink more dairy products while I'm bulking. As regards to your appetite, I don't know what to say, other than to just eat. Its different for everyone, but when I've been bulking for a while, I get used to eating more food, and when I've been cutting for a while, I'm used to eating less food.

I was in pretty much the same boat as you about 6-8 months ago, except that I have poor health and a small heart condition. I got some weights from a family friend and just started doing simple curls and leg lifts whenever I remembered. I went from about 120 lb to about 140, and I'm definitely in better physical shape. Don't clutter up your space, but if you leave even a light weight someplace that you can easily reach it, I've found it's usually that much easier to remind yourself to do it and make sure that you are at least doing it once a week.

For simple curls, once a day with the highest weight you can do is good. If you can do more than ten with a given weight, it's time to move up. Just do one set. It's not a magical pill or anything but in my case it really helped me. 8 months ago I was really flimsy and could barely lift 25 pounds with both arms. I'm now doing a few curls with 30 pounds in one hand. It will take time and you have to be consistent but it's pretty worth it imo.

If you want to get "abs" simple leg lifts and crunches are a great exercise that require no particular equipment. Those are better to do maybe two sets of every other day to start out.

It's also a good idea to consider WHAT you're eating, not just how much you eat. I found that eating even a few veggies (even when I was literally wrapping them in meat) and taking a multi-vitamin really helped out my health, and I got sick much less often. Consuming calories is a good start, but you've gotta balance what you eat or you'll have a bad time.

Getting something like a reminder sheet or a workout log can really help.

At the very least, keeping a record of your "high scores" can be a really good motivator and help show your progress over time.

Good luck!

Many people would envy you. Eating everything and not getting fat is the dream of many girls. You can take various dietary supplements. But they should only be taken if you train on a regular basis. I think you need to make a meal plan. Look on the Internet what food is the most high-calorie and eat them. Or you can contact with people who are engaged in drawing up a meal plan. When I was losing weight I asked help from https://www.modernfit.com/programs/noom/how-noom-stacks-up-vs-weight-watchers/. And thanks to their nutrition plan, I reached the desired at two months later. Maybe they can help you, too.
