Hey!

This is my first post so dont hate on me. Im 5 feet 5 inches and only weigh 91lbs. I need help to get to 112 lbs at least to be considered of having a healthy BMI. Anyways, I have tried eating junk food but it feels like empty calories. It feels that my weight has not increased or decreased for the past year. I need to know some foods that will have an impact on my weight. I also wanted to know what excersises I can do to gain weight will not stunning my growth. I also believe that I have a high metabolsim which doesn't help to gain weight. So can you guys please help me out cause i hate being skinny and want to live a healthy lifestyle. I also forgot to mention im 19 if that alters anything and I dont drink or use any illegal substances.Also im kinda addicted to Coca-Cola so ways to end that addiction would be great as well.

Thanks so much
 
BMI is really a useless number because it takes no account of your body composition, and any recommended BMI is only a rough guideline for the average individual and there are plenty of individuals that do not fit the norm but are perfectly healthy, or at least more healthy than many who fall in the ideal BMI range.

Your aim should be to gain lean body mass. To do so you must consume an excess of healthy calories and perform exercise that stimulates increase in lean body mass. Progressive resistance exercise (weightlifting) and some sort of exercise that taxes your oxygen intake, the most effective of which is running are the exercises that will be most effective at increasing lean body mass. The goal is to do just enough exercise to stimulate growth and no more, and then to rest and allow your body to repair itself and grow, while providing all the nutrition your body needs in sufficient quantities. Check out the stickies in the weightlifting and nutrition sections of this site and ask more specific questions or PM me if you have any.
 
Junk food increases your fat content and not as much weight. See if you can work some strength training (not always cadio) into an exercise routine; legs, back, and abs have the most mass in your body, triceps are the biggest muscles in your arms, so try bench pressing to work those and your chest at the same time. Hope this helps.
 
-Increase protein in-take
-Have snacks that contain more calories like milk shakes, dried fruits, yogurt, cheese sticks
-Have drinks that provides nutrients and calories such as milk, fruit juices
 
I think rather than gaining weight you should be trying to look at a more healthy lifestyle, your weight is relatively OK for you height, I would recommend that you look at the quality of food rather than the quantity, and the time of day that you eat.

Is it a problem that you want to gain muscle mass or just gain weight in general? Because if you wish to gain muscle mass then you need to increase your protein intake and take up resistance exercises.

If you wish to build muscle I have a few routines that may help.
