Trying to gain weight

    I'm 6ft 1' and I only weight 10 stone. I've been lifting weights and doing stuff in school. I've been working out for the past two months and I'd say my body is pretty toned but the problem is I have nothing really to tone. I don't eat that much because I never feel very hungry. I want to gain about 2 stone in the next month. I'm not sure if thats possible but does anyone know of any good ways i could do it?

    EAT MORE FOOD-REALLY
    And 2 stone is too much unless you want to get fat.. aim for half to 1 stone!

    this post here is really informative with respect to gaining weight!

    As cowerp said 2 stone is alot to gain, you would IMHO be better of focusing on spending the next month getting your eating and training sorted out, rahter than trying to put on a huge amount of weight.

    Presumably you want to be bigger in terms of muscle mass not fat. Put the time and effort into figuring out what works for you and then look at setting some short-term and long term goals.

    2 stone does sound like a lot , it's been said that a stone over competition weight is all any bodybuilder needs to have to get good muscle gains and Id say that’s true for most people , don’t forget it’s not just about adding weight it’s about adding the right kind of weight (lean muscle) eat plenty of lean meat not just chicken lots of bb’s find they need plenty of red meat to add big amount’s of mass :D

    If you don't eat more you won't gain weight. It's really that simple.

    Eat calorie dense foods like nuts or nut butters and oils, eat lean protein at every meal, double up your portions and follow the general healthy eating guidelines, but eat more while you're doing it.
