Weight gain

[mike1987]

I'm 21 yrs old man. My problem is my height is 163cm and weight is 53 kgs. Everyone saying that i'm underweight for my age. Any tips to gain weight without eating junk stuffs.

At 21 do i have any chance to gain few inches in height.

Okay - I'm not good at converting cm to inches or kg to pounds, but let me give it a try: I make 163 cm to be approx. 5'4" and 53 kg to be about 116 pounds - yep, I wish I had your problem.........lol

Seriously, Lucey12 said it all about the eating.... eat more calories, but don't go for junk food, like candy, chips, sodas, etc as that will be mostly fat.  I agree with the working out, too.  

I have to say, though, that I wouldn't hold out much hope for getting a lot taller.  You are pretty much full grown (height wise).  My suggestion?  Stand tall and carry yourself with pride, respect and self confidence and most people won't notice that you aren't as tall as they are........

Good luck and do come back to let us know how you are doing....

Oh and the height thing, I think you might grow a bit more. I stopped growing at 12...I'm 5'2''. lol

I wish I had your problem! In all seriousness, Dont eat junk, you will only gain fat. Work out, eat more calories (from healthy foods)
