I'm seriously underweight right now at the age of 21. I'm unable to increase my diet, and still wish to get 1-2 inches increase in height and gain more weight.

Any tips?

You cannot grow 5cm anymore.  You are stuck with your natural height.

Either you gain fat, or you workout and gain muscle.  Women prefer muscle.  :)

You can't grow height once you're an adult. If how tall you are is something you're insecure about then you should wear shoes with a higher heel or something, but height is only something you will care about and nobody else so try work on your confidence which is a much better fix for this. Why are you not able to actually increase your diet? Is that something to do with medically or can you just not afford to eat more?  Anyone can work out just by using their own body weight and that's something you should be doing if you want to get bigger, but you will also need to up your protein intake a little but without knowing why you can't eat more I probably can't give you any more specific advice.

So how I did it was to increase the amount I ate with each meal. Every time I ate I only stopped after my stomach felt like busting open. You gotta eat a lot of and often. Eat things like peanut butter between your meals.

If you want to increase your body weight, you need an appropriate diet. It is necessary to eat chicken breasts, legumes, eggs and everything that contains a lot of protein and protein. But grow will not work. I advise you not to worry about this.

if you want to gain weight start exercising and eat after every 2 hours. definitely keep banana's in your fruit list.

Gym with proper diet will make you gain weight but not fat.

Eat more carbs, such as rice, pasta, bread, sweets.. But best of the best is to follow 5 times a day meals (with right calories balance). And proper workouts. It will make your muscles heavier with no fat. Good luck!

Eating at least 3 meals a day can help increase calorie intake. Snacking between meals can also help increase calories and weightlifting at least three times a week is essential for healthy weight gain. This will help achieve and maintain lean muscle mass.

If you have not closed growth zones yet, you can grow up! You need to go a doctor. There they will make a special picture of the bones. If growth zones are open, you can start taking growth hormone.

Great tips guys, thanks!


Well I'm 5 feet 7.5 inches, and have entered my 21st year literally this week. No way at all to get to 5"9'? :'(

If you are trying to gain weight, focus on a balanced diet, weight training, and cardio. These are the simplest but safest ways to gain weight.

Going to gym💪 eating peanut butter eating proteins carbs and fish oil tablets can help a lot

Use bigger plates
Don’t drink water before meals, this can fill your stomach and make it harder to get in enough calories.
Eat plenty of protein. Eating sufficient protein is required to gain muscle weight instead of just fat. Eat your protein first and vegetables last.  It’s very important to eat mostly healthy foods even when you’re trying to gain weight!

You need to follow a protein diet. In addition, you need physical exercise on certain muscle groups.

Add some natural fats in your daily ration such a protein, avocado, buckwheat and etc.Of course, do not forget to make a physical training at least few times in a week or so.

my brother just drank a milk i forgot what brand but it did actually work since my brother gained a lot of weight.

I don't think you'd get any taller since you're already past that age. To gain weight, just be lazy and eat a lot of cake, donuts, chocolates, and drink a lot of Coke.

Tip: forget about the opinions of all people, just live for yourself.
If you are thin - this is good, you are not fat.
If you're fat, that's good, you're not Slim.

may i know your weight now?

try to eat more often, like 6-7 times a day

It's funny that my problem now is how to lose weight.I gain weight by eating food with carbs like rice and bread.

I think at the age of 21 the increase in height of a man stops. Gaining weight for most people is the problem of majority , but i think gaining weight is just easy , just eat foods with high in protein to have muscles and more calories and have also regular exercise to maintain it daily to fully gain weight. Drinking milk also will help someone to gain weight.

sorry to be the amongst those who pointed out that the chances of growing taller bare pretty much zero. Hit the weight room and you can improve your muscle mass instead.

Change the types of food that you eat and how often you eat - also, start an exercise/weights program which will help with gaining weight, when combined with your changed eating habits!

it all depends on your physique, and knowing it you need to draw conclusions what training and what diet to use. Contact the trainers in the gym. They will give you advice.

I suggest that you eat more food to gain weight. Ask a dietitian of what food would help you to gain weight.

Start eating protein and doing sports, that should help.
But you do not need to eat a lot of proteins, in large quantities they are harmful to the body.

Oh, I had a similar problem. And I knoew the answer: just start eating more and mor even if  u feel, that your stomach is full up

Have some good intake of protein. Try also to workout like calisthenics to increase the growth of the muscles.

Eat plenty of those rich in carbs and try to visit the gym -I believe they have programs in gaining weight.

A little muscle wouldn't hurt but you need a professional support about it. It is something to be focused with care as it also includes a balanced diet, not just working out.

Remove all the toxic in your life.

Eliminate in-between snacks. ;D

Eat a lot of ice-cream.

You should go to the doctor and to gym to get your training and nutrition plan. Only exercises and proper diet will allow you to cope with your problem.

Drink smoothies, shakes and other drinks that can provide you with additional calories. Eat faster. Eat more frequently. Don't drink before or during eating, but after. Add oil to foods. Coconut and olive oil are what is recommended. Hope this helps!

It is not about eating everything you see obviously, it is about eating the food rich in carbs and natural fats. Try eating something nutricious.

eat a lot of lean meat, cooked beef,lamb etc. drink plenty of water ( real water not flavoured water or fizzy drinks or energy drinks) if your working out which i recommend, add protien shake to the water, or drink a mix of milk+protein powder.
eat natural foods with no added shit, for example, boring plain food with no added additives like sugar etc
examples of this could be:

breakfast:
oats+milk (add fruits for flavour and sweetness or cinnamon)
boiled eggs ( not fried)

lunch: protein bar or salad with tuna, try to get tuna with sunflower oil, the fat will help you.

dinner:
BOILED chicken breast or fish fillet haddock mackerel etc with SWEET potato (purple potato)

bedtime: cottage cheese and protein shake.

doing all the above + excising will help you increase your weight, you could always just eat plenty of junk fried food and get fat, but if you want real weight with muscle then do what i`ve mentioned and it will be fine.

remember you do not need to go to the gym or own a gym to get fit add weight or be healthy!

staying at home and working out is easy too, stick to the diet, do 20 press ups 3 x a day to work your upper body,
do 20 sit ups 3x a day to work your core
do lunges at home or squats with something with your hands ( a full milk bottle or something weighing 1kg+ would be perfect)

i hope this helps and good luck with your goals m8!  :D


p.s you can not grow any taller after age of around 20+

Well, I don't know how to grow more, but concerning the weight, you should eat more protein and do sports. And the sport should be more on strength. Because cardio sport will make you even smaller.

How old are you? Because we physically stop growing taller at a certain age.

I've experienced the same thing as you. but now I've changed and got more contained than before. The trick is to eat regularly, don't stress, be diligent to do physical exercise.

You need to eat often and properly. It  must be no less than once every three hours.
About the fact that you manage to grow up not sure. But weight visually increases  growth.

I think you stop growing at 21? idk I'm not really sure but you can lift weights so that you can gain  mass.

I don't know if you can do anything to increase your height, but for weight, just increase your calorie intake.

Just eat and be lazy bro you will easily gain weight.

Its unable to gain height after 17-18 years. But if you want to gain weight you should get a consultation of a diet doctor first.

Well, envy you, serously! I am doing wichever possible in order to loose weight. Yet the best decision, I guess, is to eat meat and go in for sports to gain muscles and not to become fat.

Eat More. Eat more calories than your body burns. How much depends on your metabolism and activity levels. But if you’re not gaining weight, you’re not eating enough.
Eat More Meals. Small meals are easier to eat than big ones. They don’t make you feel stuffed. Wake up earlier, eat breakfast, and then eat 3-4 more meals a day.
Eat Caloric Dense Foods. Food high in carbs and/or fats has more calories per serving. It takes less eating to create a caloric surplus. Bulk on pasta, dried fruits, nuts, etc.
Eat More Protein. Your muscles need protein to recover from your workouts and grow bigger. Eat a whole source of protein with each meal – meat, chicken, fish, eggs, etc
Go Liquid. Blended food digests more easily than solid food. Make weight gainer shakes by mixing oats, milk, banana, peanut butter and whey protein in your blender.
Track Calories. Skinny guys over-estimate how much they eat. They think they eat a lot but they don’t. Track your calorie intake to make sure you’re eating enough to gain weight.
Lift Heavy. Stop wasting time with curls and flies. Do free weight, compounds like Squats and Deadlifts instead. They trigger more strength and muscle gains to gain weight.
Be Consistent. If you eat a lot today but little the rest of the week, you won’t gain weight. You must consistently eat more than you burn to increase your body-weight.

Eat plenty and do not skip meals

For weight loss and for weight gain, you need a diet, only diets will be different. For weight gain, you need to eat more cereals and legumes, meat, fish

Eat a lot.
If you wanna also gain some muscles you need to do exercises

pls tell us your weight now is?

That was my problem at your age
Well, you can wait for 10-15 years, and you will definitely gain more weight

Play sports, exercise and eat sufficient nutrition. Your metabolism will be increased and you will gain weight more healthily. Sugar will kill you.

Simply be at a calorie surplus. If you just want to bulk up, calculate how many calories you burn daily, and add 500 to that number. You'll gain 3-4 pounds a month. Combine that with a good workout routine and supplements, and perhaps a needle of tren up your ass, and you'll be at your goal in no time.

Eat plenty and do not go to sleep regularly.

More train more eat, but do it with brain. Do not eat everything, do not die in the GYM. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-27h3-GA71o

Are you under a lot of stress?  Sometimes, that is causing people to lost weigh too. 

U should eat more protein an go to the gym usually. U should believe in yourself and change your eating habits, ALSO PREFERENCES. find a good fitness trainer

I suggest doing exercises which would help with your appetite and you should eat often and a lot. When I tried to gain weight I ate till I'm more than full and between the meals too. Peanut butter and Nutella helped me a lot. Might not be the healthiest way but if you keep exercising it will keep you balanced.

Just imagine that food is the way to be happy. And start to consume more and more. You know, that I am gaining weight, when I eat really so much. So do it, even if you do not want

Just eat a lot and frequent meals... that should make you gain weight!

Start doing sports. Sport activates all the processes in your body. Your organism just will wake up. Your appetite will be stronger and you will want to eat more. Because muscles consume much calories, and your normal amount of calories that you consume will become too small for your organism.

Lift weights, squats, build muscles etc. Muscle building is the best way to gain weight, no fat.

Here are some tips that can help you to gain weight, but the best way to do it is to go to doctor and ask for help.
I can recommend you not drinking  water before meals. This can fill your stomach and make it harder to get in enough calories. Just eat more often.Try weight gainer shakes.

Sports
It sounds strange but there are a lot of sport diets helping to increase muscle mass and gain your weigt
As a pleasant side effect you are going to look fit and graceful too :3

Maintain your diet regularly. Focus to take healthy food, eat non-veg regulary, update the balance.

The best way to gain weight is to eat a lot then follow up some workouts in gym and drink mass supplements. Im a skiny guy before then what i did is this then i really gain a lot of weight in just 6 months.

Or also find some friends that happy eater because for sure they will bring you alwsys in restaurants and fast foods lol

I found this from the Ohio State University

https://swc.osu.edu/posts/documents/weight-gain.pdf

Hope it helps and don't forget to do it the healthy way!!

More rest and increase the caloric content of your diet then you can dial , and if you eat little then actually little will gain

Just eat whatever your mothers cooks you. You best believe you will gain weight.

Dude this worked! I'm just eating what my mom cooks and you know mom? it has always been delicious and 2-3 plates guaranteed for every meal.

Other's problem is on how to gain weight while me and others are looking for a way to reduce weight. Well, base on my experience just do nothing except eating, sitting on computer and watching TV's.

Exactly, there's no better recipe for gaining weight than what your mom is giving us.

However, if someone really needs or want to gain weight, simply eat a surplus calories, 500 more calories than what you are accustomed to. And then go to the gym and lift weights.

Also focused on more proteins, lean beef, fish, eggs and milk are the best source.

If you want to gain your weight then you have to follow some step and doing exercise properly. There are some important step to gain weight which is :-

1. Eat healthy food I mean balanced food
2. Going gym everyday and doing exercise properly
3. Going bed early for sleep and wake up early in the morning

Do a medical check-up, get in a nutritionist or an internist doctor that allows you to make a nutrition plan that includes essential vitamins and minerals to run a sport, the most indicated is the Gym, but because of that, you must be patient, because if you Metabolism is very light, it usually takes a long time for you to generate muscles.

Op is not looking for muscle instead just to gain weight so its not appropriate to discuss about metabolism,the best advice he might  listen is to find sets of people or friend to be with and find those who are eaters,the people that always wanted to eat so he will be used to eat more than usual

I think you need to increase the caloric content of your diet in 2 times , and of course more sleep !

Do not worry, maybe you have a very fast metabolism, but the best thing is that you go to a doctor and do all the relevant exams, you get treated with vitamins and at the same time you go to GYM.

Are you maybe suffering from a Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or any other health issue? ( I just read the OP post so i don't know if this came up before me)
You should see a physician if you haven't already, and if everything is clear on your blood work you could try those weight gainer bulking supplement shakes.
Or if you want to gain weight naturally eat a lot of avocados and other (good) fatty stuff ,nuts are great as well.

You know Im on a diet but I know how to gain weight and the best you do when your qeight is not enough to your height you can go to gym and for sure you will gain weight after gym the best you do is eat more so that's your muscle will build up.

Go to the hospital, I'm sure they will help you there

Very difficult course to gain weight , especially if the figure you endomorph itself know need to increase almost 2.5 times coloniest something to gain , and less activity to do

Eat more junk food.

I don't know about height but to gain weight you gotta change your diet, maybe you are not eating enough. Find food that you would've love and eat them. When you put food on your plate, make sure to finish all of it. Avoid having left over.

This is a good way but it increases the rate of cancer.
Better to rely on cooked food.
It is healthy food and does not contain color.

Not that he went to the hospital but had to consult a nutritionist
In the hospital they say only critical cases and not cold cases
They will turn it into a nutritionist.

That's surely going to help you gain more weight but the problem is most of that weight is going to be fat so your body will look very bad if you start eating to much. Better solution would be to go to the gym, while eating more healthy foods and that's going to help you gain some weight and also look a lot better because you build muscles.

Very unhealthy suggestion though it will result to gain weight.

I envy those people that has fast metabolism, right now I can eat whatever I want but you know the consequence. That surely will make me gain weight.

That's usually how it is for most people. Want to gain weight? Eat a lot. Though i agree that it sometimes isn't healthy and there are people who can't seem to gain weight even if they eat a lot. Sometimes it's some disorder that needs more attention from a doctor or a nutritionist. Don't force it.  Sometimes you have to take suppliments and vitamins as well.

My body structure doesn't allow me to gain the weight I want. I can eat a lot of sweet and fat but will not get better nor on grams and this is my problem. And so for weight gain you need to follow the regime, then maybe there will be some result

Eat as much as you can to gain weight but it is good to get into a shape than being fatty so just eat protein diet and get yourself workout everyday and increase the intense level.

Gaining weight is very much simple than shedding weight. The only mantra to put on weight is just eat, eat and eat. You should eat as much as you can. And do not stress. You will gain weight.

Well, i heard alot of people are having hard times because they can’t gain weight as much as they want. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing tho.. Try to change your diet and force yourself to eat more.

It is a problem...I agree that you can turn to the doctor, and he can help you vith this. Unfortunetly, I have another problem...My big problem is my overweight. I have such a problem since my childhood. I am struggling with this, but I can not achieve the result. I decided to seek help from a doctor, so I advise you. My friend advised me a HCG Drops. You can read more from this review http://purehcgdietdrops.reviews (http://purehcgdietdrops.reviews) What are you doing about this?

Boiled potatoes or fries, fast food, eggs, milk , Rice, make your weight gain. moreover shake of banana or shake of dates is also good to gain weight You have to take it daily 1or 2 glass.

You should go to gym and have a proper diet and motivational is important too.

Gaining weight is so much easy for me. I suggest to all people that are not contented because they are thin, you should eat a lot in breakfast and lunch then after that try to sleep at least 4 hours and then eat again for dinner for sure it will just take a few weeks to see the changes.

drink each day alcohol and eat some solid meal ^^
these combo will solve your problems.

just take the energy/joule  from an Bottle Wine + YourFavoritFood.

if your metabolism is running in enrage mode,  you can easy burn 2-3k kcal
without moving.  but with the bottle wine, your body will burn first the
energy from the alcohol  b4 he burn your "body fat"

You are right if there is an increase in thyroid activity that leads to increased metabolism in the body, so it is best to consult a doctor and check the hormones.
Vitamins and iron control.

Calories surplus and going to the gym

We know Ice Cream is one of the best way to gain weight because it is sweet or lot of sugar. But doesnnt mean that from underweight if you eat a lot of ICE Cream you will gain weight. The best gaining weight is to exercise and eat healthy foods like fruits and vegetables eat 4-5 meals a day if you want.

I think that in such age you can try to increase your weight and height effectively with many natural ways.
The most helpful among them are:
- eating regurarly more calories than your body burns (you can use special calculators for planning your daily menu)
- eating more protein (it's a main 'builder' for muscles, that's why you need to include more meat, nuts, dailry products etc. in your diet)
- adding more weight lifting into your exercising schedule (it's another important thing for building your muscles, without such exercises your diet will just cause more fat in your body)
- avoding smoking (it's bad habiit for health in general and it's also one of the reasons for being underweighted)

Also if I were you, I would consult with a doc and get tested firstly if I'm really underweighted and need any treatments. Such problem can be also caused with hormonal imbalance, for example symptoms of low testosterone (https://www.hgha.com/symptoms-of-low-testosterone/) often include it, especially in case of men.

There are many ways to gain weight from sleeping to your diet but I will like to say you should try to like yourself the Way you are and it is important that you should not allow how your body is to disturb you too much. 

You are right that if you do not close the growth places in the bones you can also gain more weight.
It can also gain weight by storing fat and muscle mass

5 centimeters you can add easily. Not because you grow up. And due to the fact that you correct a slight curvature of each vertebra. Sleep a couple of months on a hard surface without a pillow and immediately stretch out in the morning. But! To keep your vertebrae back in place, pump in a muscular corset that will support them in the correct position. There are also opportunities with weight.

Just looping in -- kindly focus on cardio first while having a balanced diet. It'll go a long way.  ;)

taking the rest will helpful for you because I also being like you in the previous time but I don't gain weight but more before but after taking some rest in my home the changes will definitely seen by me and I gain weight suddenly my shirts are also very tight that's why I recommend this tips for you.

doing this work will definitely helpful for you to gain weight because if you work hard your fat and calories definitely reduce and the possibility of gaining weight was very very low that's why I am saying to take rest and do less work.

I think some people naturally had their weight to be reduced so we cannot change them by using something and it is the natural thing so why we can change the weight by giving something and in my opinion going with the nature is always giving you to the good future.

21 years old is the max Height increasing of every individual unless there's a special case on your part

Weight will depend on your diet and lifestyle so be with those people the loves to eat and take some gym tips for more muscles

height and weight are given by the nature so mostly we can't change them artificial and it is not good for our health also so if you want to gain weight you need to be increased them naturally.

gain the weight is little bit difficult for that you need to eat lots of calories then only the fat is increased in your body it will gain your weight but eating lots of food will be difficult so you must need to be trained for sometime.

You need to increase your calorie 2 times to gain weight , and for every 1 kg increase the calories in my 45 calories above , and of course exercise and a lot of fat

Depends on what fat you should intake. You should get healthy fats from avocados and nuts.

If you wanted to gain at least 1 lbs every week, eat 500 calories more, meaning you should be in surplus always. For skinny person this might be a problem that's why the recommended method is 3 healthy meals then protein shake in between meals and of course, go to the gym and challenge yourself every week so gain muscle.

But first he need to find buddies because going to Gym specially for newbie is very hard to do

It will look like a place in which you are not welcome so having others to go will have much motivation from you and the partners you’ll have

You have to learned how to control proper diet, going to the gym will helps you out especially if there's a good trainer who can assist you to what
possible diet to take in order to gain good muscle builders vitamins, from then you'll be able to get something, a good results that will start your
journey in gaining some weights.

Have heavy meals 3 times in a day. Try to sleep once in a day. Eat fat type of food. ☺

I don't think your height will increase anymore coz you're already an adult. But you can do something with your weight. Eat proper and healthy food and go to the gym.
