Recommended Answer:
To gain weight you need to combine protein foods with starchy carbohydrates as indicated below. Good weight gaining combinations are bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes or sweet potatoes combined with meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, nuts or sea food. Peanut butter sandwiches and cheese sandwiches are good weight gaining combinations. The protein in the above combinations will help to gain extra muscles.Other Answers:

- Every living thing has a metabolism. To put it simply, it is the process by which food is turned into energy. The faster this is done, the faster calories are burned. This means that someone with a fast metabolism can eat plenty of food and still lose weight with minimal to no exercise. This can cause a person with a fast metabolism to naturally lose weight and have trouble gaining it. A fast metabolism is more common amongst younger people. Generally speaking, the younger you are, the faster your metabolism works.
