How do you gain 5 healthy pounds?
By gaining muscle mass! Try increasing the amount of protein that you intake per day. To find out how much protein that you are supposed to consume per day, multiply your current weight by 10, and that's how many grams of protein you should be consuming. Start lifting weights( a good way to start is by finding a weight to lift that you can comfortably lift for about 12 repititions, if you can easily do more than 12 reps, increase the amount of weight that you are lifting, this works for lifting in all muscle areas) It's best to consume protein after you workout, because it will help repair your muscle tissue and build it up, which will result in healthy weight gain because muscle weighs more than fat. Some good sources of protein are, fish(any kind of fish is good even canned tuna because it is generally low in calories and high in protein! I would suggest getting salmon if possible, if not, canned tuna in water is excellent), any kind of white meat, skim milk(milk is one of the best sources of protein out there, and has the same benefits as a protein shake!), and of course protein supplements.
