You can definitely get that big, even bigger in time. I know of guys that have weighed about 100-120, and now weigh in the 250-lb range!

To answer your question, you're really going to have to eat well, and to get about 1 gram of protein per lb of weight. For you, that'd be about 100 grams. That, and you should do compound exercises. And sleep enough-about 8 hours, or more, if you can.

One thing you neglected to mention was your age. This may play a big part in it. My brother was 5'9" and weighed 120 at 17 years old. He went through a growth spurt and at 22 was 6'3" and weighed over 200. Before anything else you may want to look into your problem with eating. Is it a lack of available things you enjoy eating or a more deep seeded problem? Many of the things I eat day in and day out I don't necessarily enjoy, and I do get asked why I eat them if I don't like them. My answer to this is always, it's not about what you enjoy eating but more about whether what you eat benifits you physically or not. An example of this would be carrots. I personally don't like carrots at all but I eat them every day anyway.

I'm sorry if I beat around the bush with the answer to your question but I would address your lack of interest in eating first. It's absolutely essential to your growth and may in fact be why you're having a problem putting on weight in the first place.

Thank you Ice
You have pointed out some real,solid issues.I tend to eat less what I dont feel like to eat.My age is 35.I don't feel like to eat what is good for putting on like Butter,bread.I mostly take shakes like banana or mango shakes.I've tested nutritional powder shakes for few days but it did'nt help me to put on..this is really amazing...why ppl don't put on even with regular food quantity.My doctor has givin me a clearance,I've not been to any nutritionist..let me know if their is anything else you would like to know.Perhaps my Doc.is missing something on the medical side.

Thanx John for the help!
Eating a lot of protien is injurious to the kidneys and then liver.
BUT if people like me have really benefitted from it,i'll definetely take the risk.Is anyone as skinny as me around in the forum? kindly let me know so that i try to communicate with him.
any thing else besides PROTIEN? should it be a famous whey protein?
