There is no ideal weight for any person of any height. It's all up to what weight and shape you want to be or need to perform better in whatever sport or physical activity you take part in.

Make time, 15-20 minutes of weight training can affect a significant change. Try working out at home, doing the free bodyweight stuff that I mentioned in my prior post.

For those who haven't already read this http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/301136 read it.

You don't necessarily have to eat 5 meals a day, nor do you have to work as hard as people like darklight or pizzaboy do.

But because as you've said you can't gain weight no matter how much you eat, perhaps taking up bodybuilding would work for you. The thread I linked has alot of information on eating and working out. You could read through it and get an idea of what you can do to gain clean weight.

More meals.

3 + something light after workouts and thats about it. I don't bulk or bodybuild and I don't have a weight issue.

So let me get this right... You're posting in a weight GAIN thread and you're telling people to cut down on meat? That's great

This is why bmi is absolute crap. At 170cm 50kgs, if he has a low muscle mass, he could very well be a ball of fat.

Not really, some people can eat all the fatty foods they want and never put on any weight.

Hardly, if it were that easy to die, I'd have died by now.

Trust me, you won't die in 6 months eating fatty foods. If it really was that easy, people would be planning assassinations with fatty foods. Unless you're already in horrible shape, have a shitty heart and dying liver, eating bak kut teh everyday for 6 months won't kill you.

Too much of anything is harmful, moderation is key.

Again, as with all things, moderation is key.

Carbs are good
Proteins are good
Fat in general is bad.

Cake > Cookie > Pie
Coke > Pepsi
Gatorade > Powerade

What else should we list today?

Oh right, forgot about that one!

... That's why there's this thing known as... Eating clean.

I thought peanuts had no cholestrol? I know they're pretty loaded on monounsaturated fats but as far as I know they have no cholestrol.

... And what do you think you'll be putting on with weight gain products? Air weight?

Think about things logically before you post.

Those of you just joining in this thread asking how to gain weight... Did you not read through the thread to begin with? Cause the answer has been posted several times throughout the thread.

Eat right and workout, that's all there is to is. The right diet and right workout routine will get you to whatever your goal is, whether it be to lose or gain weight.

There's a diet and workout thread pinned at the top of the health forum for those interested, there are also diet recommendations posted in this thread along with workout information and there are workout/diet journals in the journals subforum(which is new) where you can find details on other's workouts and diets and their progress which may help you determine what sort of diet and workout routine you want or help you in designing your own routine.

Damn, everything makes sense now!

I should have known ejaculating 5lbs of semen would have an adverse effect on my muscle mass. I have seen the light! I could use more emotes but you get the point.

You have to work out in addition to protein supplements, your diet and workout routine are what's most important.
