Answers:
You have a great advantage over us girls who have to be very aware of our fats and calories!. Eat good fats like olive oil, natural peanut butter (Adam's), nuts (not loaded with sugar), eat plenty of protein like steak, chicken, eggs, fish and avoid processed meats like hot dogs!. Eat whole grains like brown rice and whole grain breads!. Eat plenty of fruits and veggies!. Eat 5-6 small meals each day!. Eat when hungry, sometimes you will eat more than others, listen to your body!.

As for exercise, hit the weights!. I am working with a personal trainer who had the same problem you have when she was in high school and found her love for weight lifting then and looks awesome now! She also recommends weight gainers in addition to lifting but that's entirely up to you!. You will not build bulk, because women do not build bulk unless they are on supplements that encourage bulk!. Exercise and eating well are very important whether you are thin, heavy or just right!. The rules never change!.!.!.best of luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eating is the first and most important factor that is needed for proper weight gain!. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn!. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down!. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat!. I suggest 6 meals!. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day!. The goal is to eat every 2!.5 to 3 hours!.
Focus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts!. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk!. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it!. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts!.
