Gaining Weight?

[Seafood]

I'm underweight for my height, and am very skinny. I would like to gain more weight so I am more healthy, you know? I'm like, 60kg and 6' 1" BTW.

well being under weight doesn't mean your not healthy. but if you want to gain more weight you can always eat more calories. people gain weight when they eat/consumer more then they burn off. if you want to put on more muscle, you can start working out and eating more protein/drink more protein shakes.

it really just depends what you are looking for. do keep in mind though if you are going to work out, you are obviously going to be burning even more calories.

This is correct, being underweight doesn't necessarily mean you aren't healthy. But if you are worried because of this, you can gain weight by diet or you can also earn weight by exercising in which case you'll earn weight by raw muscle mass instead of soft tissue weight.

By diet, you can opt to eat more carbohydrates so the calorie intake surpasses the calorie depletion, in simpler words you're loading in more energy than your body can burn and so, this extra energy is stored for later use as fat, providing you with more weight. If you choose this way, eat more stuff like bread, pasta, potatoes and whole grain cereals. It is also unhealthy choosing this way and only eating sweets and junk food, and also doing it without exercising, you still would have to exercise but not too heavily.

By muscle mass, you should eat as has been said above more protein than you already eat, drink protein shakes and start a training program for exercising different muscular groups from your body.

Now, if you want to gain more weight, you probably don't want to be gaining more fats and stuffs, because you know, that will be bad. Even though you're underweight, it does not make you unhealthy, like everyone else said (I mean, according to BMI, many athletes are 'overweight' because they have a ton of muscle)

So to gain weight, you probably want to exercise, but do more muscle kinda stuff. If you go online, you can easy find some exercises for whatever resources you have and your skill level, etc. Eat a ton of carbs like Pastas, Rice, Cereals, etc and if you continue to do that, you'll be there in no time. c:
