Read above post again for answers, it may not sink in the first time.

Oh, and I want to emphasize the gym and weight training again.

Care to share your workout routine too?
With that and your diet, we'll have a more complete picture.

As long as you're putting in weight and resistance training, I won't worry about you putting on excess fat as weight instead of muscle. I was worried you might just had listed jogging as your workout.

Don't bother with weight gainer supplements. Really. If you wanted extra carbs you could just eat more. Don't buy into marketing. If you're thinking of taking it further, you could try out protein powders. Your protein intake could be improved as Asian diet is notoriously low in protein and higher in carbs. With protein, you're feeding your muscles and building a better physique as well as gaining weight, rather than just becoming fat.

ON Whey Protein is the common weapon of choice among the people I know. You might want to give it a go.

There's no such thing as genetics preventing you from gaining weight. Those who want to gain weight can always put in some effort to read this thread, it's almost 60 pages of info.

I doubt you can go zero carbs in Malaysia, but you can gain weight on a low carb diet.

Not really a fan of soya milk.
Full cream milk gets the job done for me.

You'll get used to it. Trust me, you will. I'm on my 14th set of eyes.

Everyone who skinny says they eat a lot. This is almost never true.

Not true.

Just eat more.

Like what you're eating now, double it. You're sure to gain some weight.

I suspect their version of a lot is some bread for breakfast, noodles for lunch and some rice and veg for dinner.

Weight gain invovles eating more too. The statement that supper stresses the system is false as your digestive system never sleeps. Old wives tale.

Chemicals which are good for us. If it is bad, post the facts and prove it.

Again, false statement.

I am using my common sense, as well as medical knowledge. Which is why I'm calling your statements false.
Disgestive system never sleeps - Medical textbooks or even your Biology books
Milk contains harmful chemicals - Prove this and you'll get on the cover of TIME magazine

In a debate, the onus is on you to prove your statements. I dismissed them as false based on the above reasons. I await your proof to support the statements, the medical world awaits you to rock their world.

The standard cookie-cutter advice to answer almost every problem on H&F. Well meaning, but ultimately not very useful.

Assuming you eat enough, yes.
But the vast majority, myself included, think we eat enough good food when we don't.

List down what you ate today or yesterday.

Upgrade your roti canai to roti relur or sardin. Keep up the same dishes and quantity you posted everyday and your weight should go up, unless you're already over 80kgs.

Join the gym. Weight training is your best bet to put on muscle.

Nope. Weight training at the gym is much more effective than swimming.

Nope. It doesn't.

Get a weight training program from the Bodybuilding section and stick to it while you gain weight.
That'll ensure you come out looking built rather than fat.


Assuming the total calories of what you eat 6 times per day is more than your usual 3, yes you will gain.
If your 6 small meals don't at all match the bigger 3 meals, then no.
