^pff, you are not severely underweight, me not an expert, but looks like just a matter of 4-5 kgs
best thing to do is visit a dietitian, who can recommend the correct way to do this

Not even that, 55 kg at 5.8 is pretty OK for a 17-year old. Better to stay slightly thin rather than getting fat at this age. ;) And hit the gym if you need some muscles.

You should be around 70 kg's.

body mass index=mass(in kg)/(height in meters)^2 should be between 18.5 to 25.
5.8=1.73m(approx) so BMI=55/(1.73*1.73)=18.4

you are on the thin side but otherwise no problem.for your height anything upto 70kg is ok.for wait gain eat dairy/meat products & exercise a bit or else all weight gain will be concentrated around waist. :)

I would not advcie going for any supplements like Endura Mass , since I have heard that they have certain side effects . Some say they affect productivity.

Well I am having similiar physique like you described but I am 19 and 5.9' Tall.

FOr improving body weight in a positive and healthy manner , going to GYM regularly will help. But make sure that you have lots of healthy calories.

TO gain mass , there is a simple rule : Eat more calories than you actually burn.

If you will go to GYM , you will workout a lot , this will lead to hunger. You will eat a lot more than usual.THis will eventually build muscles , if you take on a protein rich diet.
Protein is more better than FAT. So build muscle by working out and eating heathy.

I am also going to GYM from past several weeks. :)

Protein and calorie rich diet include : White part of boiled Eggs(best source of protein) , Banana-Milkshake , Soyabeans , Wheat , etc.
Avoid FAT rich food like the yolk of boiled egg , oils ,etc.

Well i have become kinda thin how to do i become a bit fat and look healthy?

start eating a sugar diet. the best way to gain mass is by eating nothing but pure sugar. (until you reach your desired weight) dont get addicted to the sugar.

i suggest :

a. chocolate bars - 2 x a day
b. ice-cream and chocolate sauce
c. banana

basically anything with sugar in it. This is if you want to gain weight.

1-2 weeks of this ridiculous diet and you will gain about 3-4 kgs in about 2 weeks, if you eat :

250g chocolate
150g banana
100g ice cream + 20g chocolate sauce

I would not advcie going for any supplements like Endura Mass , since I have heard that they have certain side effects . Some say they affect productivity.

That is not true, it also depends where your calories are coming from.

ex: sugar - pure carbohydrate
lean meats - carbs + protein
fruits - fructose + natural sugar.

with all three different diets, you will be surprised to know if say presently you eat 2000cals, now if you switch to pure sugar diet, you will start gaining weight if you switch to a fruit diet or a high protein / high fat diet of same numbers of cals you will lose weight.

protein rich diet is useless, unless you plan to workout.

proteins which are not used by the body are broken down further into sugar. and rule of thumb says a growing young adult needs about 0.75g protein/kg bodyweight. if you workout anything between 1-1.5g/kg is more than enough.

Supplements like mass gainers affect the body, specially the liver. So it is advisable to take maximum nutrition in your diet via natural food.

and muscles are a oxidated form of fat, so if you are fat and you workout a lot, the difference in the strength of the muscle fibers is a lot.

Ok :). I heard once u become 18, you become fat

as you start maturing your metabolic rate starts slowing down, if adults did the same amount of activity small children 2-4years old did they would be burning 2500 cals / day. there are many factors, when you are small 10-12 testosterone production in the body is low, 14-16 the facial hair and pubic hair is a affect of the elevated levels of testosterone. during 15-18 years most of the major bone development (exoskeleton) and muscular development takes place. it is not that people dont grow beyond this age, statistically speaking the levels of HGH drop in the body after 19 years and peak around 17 . so the basic point being that

a. higher the muscle mass = more energy burned during activity and post activity
b. higher the metabolic rate = more energy released while resting

as a result of which when you start maturing the metabolic rate decreases and because of the lack of physical activity you dont burn the same amount of energy and therefore you may get fat.

You have a decent weight for your height. You need not overeat. Just regular exercise (irrespective of you lose or gain weight) is fine. If you eat excess, the fat keeps on depositing inside the abdomen (not beneath the skin). And once you cross 30/35 age, it becomes the cause of Diabetes, Hypertension and many lifestyle related diseases.

Just eat healthy, exercise regularly and stop worrying about gaining weight. Weight will take care of itself.

By the way, you will gain weight once you get married. Your worry will be losing weight. So as of now, chill.

hmm depends on your somatotype again, that decides what kind of exercises you need to complement your diet with as well
some professionals use other systems, basically either get professional help or dont change anything
it's really a case to case basis, maybe supplements will work out for you and what you want

Not really, chicken and eggs contains enough cholesterol. Fishes are safe bet as far as protein goes.

Not really, chicken and eggs contains enough cholesterol. Fishes are safe bet as far as protein goes.

well technically speaking, chicken is a very good source of protein and so is fish. But because of the dirty water i dont think its very safe to eat fish. fish also poses problems for having lots of bones.

and cholestrol intake <300mg for a normal person so 150-200g of chicken is pretty good, egg on the other hand is bad.

again eating cholestrol is not wrong. because vitamin D is a cholestrol compund derivative and is produced from cholestrol in the body. So no cholestrol is not your enemy. excess of everything is

Can this be only because i eat only chicken :D(maybe 5-6 times a week)

if you eat grilled chicken then gaining weight will be difficult. Try eating fried for 1-2 weeks.

Lets talk numbers, because finally weight gain or loss all come down to the calories you consume and expend:

You're an ectomorph. First calculate your BMR:
Men's Equation = 66+(6.23 x weight (in lbs))+(12.7 x height (in inches))-(6.8 x age)

The number you get is the min. number of calories you need to have to sustain your body.
NEXT: Multiply the above number with one of the below factors depending on your activity:


1.2- Little to no exercise
1.375- Light exercise (1 to 3 days/week)
1.55- Moderate exercise (3 to 5 days/week)
1.7- Very Hard Exercise (6 to 7 days/week)
1.9- Hard daily exercise and/or physical job

The result you get is the number of calories you need to intake to maintain your weight @ your level of activity.

> Now add 500 calories or so to this number and you will start gaining weight (3500 calories = 1 pound)
> So if you theoretically eat 500 calories over your requirement for a week you should put on a pound of body weight.
> Weight gained = Either by muscle or fat. Gain that weight by building muscle not fat! I suggest you buy some whey and try bulking up.

Note: All foods have calories in them. Just because you can afford to eat extra calories, let those calories not come from junk food. Have lots of protein (chicken), fruits and veggies and slow digesting carbs.

To get fat is bad...but to gain weight and become healty you can eat following-
1. Buffalo milk one glass morning 1 evening
2. Eat banana at least 3 a day...if you dont want to eat normal banana make a banana milk shake and drink that
3. Get pure ghee from local shop and put it in daal, rice, roti.
4. eat mango in mango season...its a big weight gainer and not unhealthy.
5. join gym along with the above...tell trainer that you will not eat weight gaining products in the market which can have after effect...and ask him to suggest what to eat normally.

with all this you will easily gain lots of weight in 6 months and excersise will distribute it properly throughout the body :)

I'm vegetarian and i don't like killing animals just to gain some weight. :p
no mcdonald dominos or other fast food chains here where i live.
my lifestyle is very idle you know computer guy :p
once sticked to chair no chance getting up at least for 8 hours.
i have to do some time management for gym.
I'm already waking up at 5am for Meditation spend around 2 hours then go to work and i don't think so i would have time for gym but it's on my to do list to signup for gym since last 8 months lol.

another reason why i have been not able to signup is most of the people i have talk to said they provide supplements like endura mass and such powders thing. today i came to know that i can tell them that i dont want to take this powder i thought i can't say no to this thing cause it will be the main thing for me.

so i will try to get some time and go to gym.

I start work at 5am, come back home at 3:30pm
I make sure I workout and sleep at least 5hours.
I'm also 5'10 and my weight is perfect 75Kg, has been for the past 1 year now.
I am on a chair more than 8 hours a day and those hours I am infront of a computer screen.

don't be shy, thin guys are always shy. I was too. now thin guys look at me and get shy :D cause I'm beefier than most normal guys
I'd say 90% of the guys I see everyday have arms thinner than me. those who can compare are bodybuilders and Xtra fat guys and yea girls too lol

You don't need to eat meat to get fat. You can have milk and butter in the morning
have lots bananas along with at leat two glasses of juice everyday.
Oh most importantly, start overeating. you should feel like puking in the end of your meal.
Getting fat for a thin guy is as difficult as getting slim for a chocolate loving fat girl. You need a lot of will power to get fat.
leave meditation, get proper sleep, stop planning start doing things that need to be done.

I think genes has a lot of role to play.I eat so much (half a dozen banana and 1/2 ltr. milk daily in morning.) but still can't absord the fat/protein. (Stuck at 56Kg for a heigh of 5.10" @20yr).
However , when I did workouts for a month and half , I gained considerable mass.

I think in order to gain mass , you need to workout and eat as well. Just eating is a waste.

No!!! , I mean you don't need lots of fat , what you need is lots of muscle protein .
Fat is not healthy , but proteins are.

If you do not workout and just keep on eating , you will only get fat/obese.
If you will workout , your protein will break and if you will eat healthy protein rich diet at same time , you will gain considerable mass built from proteins and not fat.


That's what my instructor told me.Seems logical to me.

Damn dude, putting on weight is easy, unless you are an ectomorph!!

On a serious note, try the BODY BEAST program if you want to bulk the healthy way, eat HEALTHILY above your calorie requirements, and you will put on muscle, else you too will be struggling to lose those extra kilos of fat.
