Hey, I'm 5'8" 148 pounds and wondering what the HEALTHIEST way to gain weight is. I'm only 19 so i burn off all the junk food (pizza, mcdonalds) pretty fast. Also, do you guys think being skinny helps in jiu jitsu?

Eat 6 meals a day with one portion of protein and two portions of carbohydrates at each sitting. A portion is the equivalent of the size of your closed fist or palm of your hand, not including the fingers. Make sure to eat good foods like chicken breast, turkey, lean meat, fish, etc., as your protein sources. Eat complex carbohydrates such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. You can make 4 of the six meals whole meals and the other 2 meals be shakes. My advise would be to go to www.eas.com. You will find a lot of good information. It has worked for me when I've wanted to gain weight as well as when I have wanted to get lean. Hope this helps!!!

Throw in a good leg workout with the good diet and that should help. Being skinny in jiu jitsu is not a bad thing, good technique easily, easily, disables much larger and stronger opponents. The problem is when your opponents have good technique plus are bigger and stronger. Alot of it may depend on your wrestling style.

The underlying formula for gaining weight whether it be fat or muscle is consuming more calories than you expend. How much of it is gained as fat or muscle is dependent upon what is consumed, how it is distributed, and specific individual factors (genetics, current condition, extra curricular lifestyle and its impact on your physical condition, training protocols).

It's that simple. If you actually counted your calories, and monitored your eating habits in a log book, I'm sure you'd find it to be pretty inconsistent.

I've made amazing gains with malt liquor and donuts.
