I’m extremely skinny!! And Im wondering what is the best thing to take to gain weight because surprisingly I eat a lot of food but don’t gain any weight?
I was looking on the maximuscle website. Is protein or amino acids any good? HELP!! Also would I need to work out taking supplements?
Just to say I’m not that skinny I just over exaggerated a little!! let’s just say I’m below average in the weight department

go to your doctor!
According to my experience milk, honey and banana help u gain weight, carbohydrates like potatoes also help to put on weight. Work out regime that burns excess calorie than u intake may cause weight loss. A balanced work out or simple exercise like walking or running or simply taking the stairs might simply work wit some added calories to your diet. Try not to option for artificial supplements because they might produce side effects or only be temporary.
Try nutritional supplements definatly, along with consumeing more dense foods!
- Ensure Plus/ Boost Plus are great nutritional weight- gain supplements and are healthy with the benefit of probiotics/ omega 3′s/ 8+ essential nutrients/ a source of calcium and protein!
Consume either Ensure Plus, or Boost Plus twice per day, ontop of dailey regimes/ eatting- do not decrease.
(Chocolate flavours taste best heated in a mug in the microwave- tastes like hot chocolate, other flavours taste best chilled. )
Ensure/ Boost also come in formats of: Regular for maitence, Protein, Calcium and Fiber. But for weight-gain “Plus” is reccomended.
