Im a 18 year old guy, and im skinny as
hell. People always tell me they cant
believe how much I eat , and never gain
any weight. I heard this is because of
high metabolism and everything. The
problem is I just want to grow some muscle
(or fat, anything.) now you might say
exercise treeguy, but I do: I play (pretty
intensive) tennis like 2 times a week and
bicycle about 30 kms a day (too school and
back) I have nearly no muscle tone. A
strange thing is how I am pretty strong.
Like when im wrestling/fighting for fun
with one of my friends, who is pretty
muscular (wrestling in a none gay way) we
are equal, its not like he can fold me up
or anything. Any help is welcome.

i think there was a similar topic about
this. You might try to start
incorporating more protein into your diet.
Protein eventually builds muscle. Try
things like protein shakes, and just
generally eating more white meat,
including fish.
You might think about starting to lift
weights some, too.

Lots of protein, and possibly try getting
into a muscle bulking program.

Can you tell me which food or ingredients
have high proteins?

meat. I eat meat at every meal. I eat
turkey sausage for breakfast, I have ham
or turkey for lunch, and I have a fish or
chicken, normally, for dinner.
Nuts are also high in protein. Milk is
another. Eggs. Cheese.
These are all good sources of protein.

I already eat bread with cheese and drink
milk at breakfast.
In weekends when I have more time I also
eat eggs for breakfast.
Throughout the day I eat a lot more bread
with cheese.
At dinner I always eat at least two big
pieces of meat. (in addition to
vegetables and other stuff)
so this seems like i'm already eating a
lot of protein rich stuff already?

hmmm....Yeah, it does seem like you are
getting your protein. You must have a
super high metabolism! That is good,
actually.
I really don't know what else to tell you.
I would try the whey protein shakes.
Mix the whey powder with milk and frozen
fruit, like blueberries and banannas.
