What's the best way to gain fat?

[DanielBishop]

This may seem out of place here, but my wife thinks she's too skinny and wants to be chubbier.

I've told her to eat more, and eat lots of donuts but she just can't eat that much. She doesn't have much of an appetite, and obviously has a super-charged metabolism because most of what she eats is pretty bad.

So is there a good way to gain fat?? Preferably without compromising health....

.... she doesn't wanna be obese, just chubbier. I thought it would be easy, but it's proving to be quite difficult.

Thanks.

Is it just me or is it stupid in here? Who in their right mind wants to gain fat?

Tell her try eating 15 cals per pound a day, 1 gram of protein per pound and to lift very heavy weights. She'll gain muscle and curves and look and feel better.

Please tell me this was a joke post.

A naturally skinny person will never be fat, just as an endomorph will never become an ectomorph. SHe will gain fat, and lose it right off. SHe has to gain muscle, that she can keep, and it looks much better than bones. Fat is a temp solution, but with her metabolism dont count on having it there for too long.

yeah hes right....... skinny people will hardly ever be able to keep it on, just like fat people cant keep it off.......... heres my recomendation:

eat a large bowl of ice cream and large glass of milk immediatly before betime.........

guaranteed to do the trick

No, it's not a joke. She wants to gain fat.... not muscle. She doesn't have any interest in training either, and she probably won't do it no matter what I say.

Clearly she's an ectomorph.... she's always been like that and she hates being skinny. She just wants to be curvier and chubbier, but she doesn't want to become bulky with muscle, or have to work out for it. She just wants to be fatter.

Should she eat more or less frequently? I kinda assumed the opposite of dieting principles would apply.... so maybe eating bigger meals, less frequently will slow the metabolism? And obviously we'd want these meals to be high in carbohydrates and fat, yeah?

Only problem is she just doesn't have a big appetite. She can't eat much, and if she pushes herself, she gets nauseous. So, I'm not sure what to do.

But thanks for the reponse.

Ice cream with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and nuts on top...every night before bed. She'll be a porker in no time.

I often wonder if the type of food kind of effect how one stores fat.

I.g. Eating alot of calories in general has a more even fat distribution on the body where as eating sugar tends to give the skinny arms pot belly kind of effect.

I mean I know its genetics but I wonder if that by what means the fat is gained can assure that it is distributed more evenly at least influence it a bit.

in which case Eat your peanut butter many many cals very very fast SOOOOoooooooooo GOoooooooood in Icecream. when I indulge I like a nice 50/50 split of peanut butter to icecream ration on revery spoon full you end up eating a fuckload of it. But the 5Ib tubs I can kill one in around 5 days when I bulk (I'm which ever is the skinny one. I don't put the fat on easily but I can manage to w/ my mass peanutbutter consumtion) Too bad that means I need to cut later and be strict oh well doesn't take to long to cut. Enjoy eating.

Lots of french cruellers, glazed buttermilk donuts, Ben & Jerry's, egg foo yong, pork fried rice, Monte Cristos, Fried cheescake, fried mushrooms w/ranch or blue chz, granola w/ heavy cream, Beer as beverage.....ecto, endo, whatever.....noone can eat a steady diet of this shit without gaining fat.

Watch out for those pesky heartattacks.

So that's it?

No magical, easy, fast way to gain fat? I thought it would be easier than this.... I personally have no problem gaining fat. In fact, it's a little TOO easy for me. But this is my wife we're talking about, not me.

The thing is, she's been eating donuts and icecream and McDonalds and pizza, usually before bed, for a while now.... and she's not gained any weight at all.

There must be SOMETHING we can do.

I would trade metabolisms with her in about .002 seconds. I can gain fat from eating tuna all day!
