I know the title/question kinda seems dumb but lots my friends tell me that at this age, i can't get fat anymore. The only thing about me that my friends find negative is how thin i am and how I always get hiccups after eating lunch.

I really need some advice/help/diet/stuff/etc about the weight thing. Most of you will think "use google" or "ask an adult/health teacher" but c'mon, let's be honest. We're teens, we have very active social lives if not in person, online, and a 'proper diet with exercise' wont really work well. Unless it's summer of course, lots of time there. I just need something like what should I eat.

I get $60 a week. I'm not spoiled, it's $40 from my mom for school and $20 from my dad cause he's forced to do it. Somehow, I gained a pound. I started eating cheese heads the other week and I eat atleast 4 sticks a day. I think it's a start. As for exercise, I do 35 crunches in the morning every morning and the rest in p.e. (1 mile every day)

All of your suggestions/advice/whatevrs will not be taken for granted and will be greatly appreciated

Thanks and God bless!

P.S. does drinking milk 3x a day help by any chance?

Yes you can gain weight at any age you probably have a high/fast metabolism meaning you digest really quick and burn fat (I think obviously not an expert) I have it to so I don't gain wait much at all

What you are doing for exersize seems fine just make sure to eat a bit of protein before so you don't starve your self

I personally don't think milk does much good but it isn't bad to drink just don't drink/eat to much dairy can make you a bit sick, at least for me.

Yes. You can. I wouldn't suggest trying too hard to gain weight though. That could lead to health problems and generally poor health. You're young and you're metabolism is high. It's probably going to be difficult for you to gain a lot of weight.

However, if you really do want to gain weight (and you don't want to build muscle), I would suggest that you increase the amount of food you eat. Don't stop exercising or staying active. Stay away from junk food and eat food that is nutrient rich. The idea is to increase your calorie intake slowly everyday for a while. Increase the portion size of every meal slowly over a few weeks, or add extra meals in between the meals that you are eating now. Make sure that you eat a balanced diet. Adding an extra serving of potatoes, rice, sweet corn, or pasta.

Your friends are dumb.
Childhood obesity(because anyone under 18 is classified as a child) has never been higher.

Also,cut out sugary/salty snacks and just do a 1 hour walk every day.
At your age, that's all you need.

of course ... I agree with the above .

^is your name really Constantine?

You have a high burning rate ( metabolism ) which means you burn fats at a high rate,
In other words, almost no fats enter your body from eating.

I have that and I can pretty much eat whatever I want whenever I want and not get a single increase in weight.

Advice? Build muscles.
Do exercises, go to the gym, run.. etc.


By the age of 21 your metabolism will decrease anyway, so you will accumulate fats at a faster rate. So enjoy it will it lasts.
