    I want to gain about 2 stone in weight, what foods should I include in my diet to gain the extra calories in a healthy way?

    Also I should be asking, is there anything I can take to increase appetite too?

    lots of clean eating and plenty of it

    this covers it most (two videos )

    part 1 - http://youtu.be/Nqa30-mnhAc

    part 2 - http://youtu.be/gXqBiIVB1dU (im told from 5.20min onwards people find most helpful)

    Hope you are eating while reading this

    Oats and Milk.

    Putting on that kind of weight without adding body fat is incredibly incredibly tough.

    Can I ask your starting point and goal?

    Thanks I will check out those videos when I get home!

    I'm 5ft 5" and started at 7.5 stone. I have managed to get my weight up to just below 8 stone since I started drinking weight gain shakes but can't seem to get past that. I'm finding it tough to keep the weight on as well. I'm hoping to gain about another 2 stone. I think the biggest challenge is trying to get a bigger appetite. I've never ever had any sort of eating disorder, I just eat when I'm hungry and stop eating when I'm full ha but I guess I just don't feel hunger as much as other people do!

    just depends on how important having more muscle is to you. Eat big to get bigger its really that simple - might add that if you are not doing proper weight training then you need to get working on that asap
