How can you gain weight when you are 5' 9 and weigh 107 pounds?

The difference between healthy weight and just fat is that healthy weight is mostly muscle. If you are underweight ,or just want to add a few pounds ,than you could eat whole grains, fruits, veggies, lots of protein, and exercise a lot. Weight training can help you add muscle to specific parts of your body if you think specific areas need a little more help than others. GAINING WEIGHT-it takes around 3000 calories ,just to gain a pound, so it seems difficult to most people.It is a matter of taking in more than you burn off, and eating good snacks between meals. Bread, rice, bagels, biscuits, corn bread are some of the dense calorific foods. Minestrone soup, chilli beans, beef barley (cream soups and chowders in moderation) are too. Adding mayonnaise and dressings, plus cheese or avocado to sandwiches gives it a calorie boost. Pecans, peanut butter, dried fruit, canned fruit in syrup, bananas, pears avocados are rich in nutrients and calories. Olive and canola oil are good and starchy foods like pasta and potatoes, squash, corn and beets. Taking one thing from each section will balance your calories, you can check further on the web as their are many sites (healthy foods to gain weight-search) A: In order to gain weight, you need to increase your calorie intake to over the subsistence level (where you neither gain nor lose weight). The subsistence level is hard to determine without a lot more information, in that it involves metabolic rate, amount of activity, your weight and fat percentage, and even the climate of the region you live in (workers in the Arctic often burn up to 5000 calories per day). As weight gain is a function of calorie loads, the following nutrients carry calories, in order from most to least: # Fats # Alcohol # Carbohydrates # Proteins As such, if you wish to gain weight, you need to stack up on higher calorie food while still maintaining a good nutritional balance which includes other foods that help you function well. And as my friend above notes, you'll need to increase exercise in order to not simply store the excess calories as fat. Foods high in fat are meats, especially red meat, and some dairy products (e.g. butter). Foods high in carbs include sugars and grains, including bread, pasta, pastries, rice, etc. Foods high in protein also include meat and dairy, as well as fish. Alcohol, while calorific, is not the best way to gain weight due to the dangerous side effects of chronic alcohol consumption. intelligently speaking, DON'T!

What is the best drink with a meal?

A lot of people including my own dad say, that drinking (anything!) during a meal is bad for you. These people are misinformed. The idea is to go with a healthy choice that counteracts the available nutrients on your plate: if your having loads of sugary meals, kill the juices when eating and go for something more plain and less sugar rich such as water or milk. Basically the rule of thumb is, >>what will make you digest better?<< is the solution to your problem. Beware of alcohol around meals, its not as beneficial as some people may think, so the science tells.. Cheers!

Who wrote the quote what goes up must come down?

maybe newton?

yes it was Isaac Newton... the law of gravity!


Only problem, of course, is that this is actually something that he conclusively disproved. If an object has a sufficiently high upward velocity, gravity, weakening evermore with increasing distance, will not be able to bring the object down. It will be in a 'hyperbolic' orbit.


In other words, it is popularly attributed to him, but it is unlikely that he said it.

Why do boxers jog early in morning?

Not all boxers do, but those that train early in the mornings do it for some of the following reasons:

  1. Getting up really early usually means you end up going to bed early later that night. This can be a great benefit in keeping you from the unhealthy distractions of the night such as going out drinking with friends. Most boxers cut out all drinking during pre fight training, which usually consists of 6 to 12 weeks of intense diet and exercise. Rising early helps discipline them in this regard.
  2. When you jog early in the morning there is less traffic and so it is safer if you live in a city than when there are lots of vehicles on the road.
  3. There is less pollution early on in the day.
  4. Getting up early to run sets your mind up for the whole day as it is the first thing you do and therefore a priority. Your actions frame your mindset and eventually create set thinking patterns.
  5. Some boxers feel early morning jogging gives them a psychological edge over their opponents. Mike Tyson said this is why he ran at 4am as he knew his opponents might not be doing so.
  6. Exercising first thing on an empty stomach can help with weight loss. Boxers who have to cut down their weight use this to shed pounds fast. Chris Eubanks, when asked in an interview what he had for breakfast replied, A glass of water and a 6 mile run!

Not by itself. Losing weight involves eating healthier (which usually means taking in fewer calories, as well as a healthier selection of foods) and exercising more.

Vitamins can help you stay healthy, but taking excess vitamins can lead to their own health issues (though water-soluble vitamins like those found in Super B Complex are less likely to remain in the body long enough to cause damage).
