Would protein supplements.. even breakfast drinks like ensure help gain weight? Especially when not able to eat full meals (and also when able to). Trying to find additional ways to put on weight but I'm not a heavy into exercise just underweight right now.

Yes - breakfast "meal replacements" will help you put on weight. So will peanut butter, butter, oil, coconut oil, greek yogurt or any other high calorie food. If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.

Calculate your TDEE and then start counting calories using an app like myfitnesspal, if you want to take this seriously.

calories is what puts on weight, so ensure is fine. But protein is the only thing that puts on muscle. Healthy fats help to ensure proper testosterone production. this includes fat from eggs and fatty meats like beef and salmon

If you take too much protein and aren't working out a lot would it just turn into wasteful fat? So I should concentrate on calories and protein of course. Need to get a pool so I can start exercising. I need low impact exercise because my back is fucked

You will have a hard time gaining with swimming as your only exercise. Swimming burns alot calories. Although it does strengthen muscle and is a hell of a work out, you certainly won't be able to gain any appreciable muscle mass unless you went really far with it.

This^ what part of your back is 'fucked'? If it's a spinal injury then maybe you can still do pull-ups and push-ups? Maybe some pistol squats? Swimming won't gain you any significant muscle mass.

I'm not looking for mass per say. I want to gain weight as I said I'm under my normal weight and then TONE it. I don't want it to turn into lumps of fat. My swimming wouldn't be excessive and likely just enough to burn a bit of extra calories. As for other gains with mass and muscle, I want to look towards that once my body is a bit more sustainable. I've been moving around and doing a lot of heavy work so my body is acclimating after physical therapy last year for sure. But yeah, tone over any appreciable muscle gain. Just want to gain 15lbs or so at least.

Nearly my entire spine has DDD I have 3 schnorl nodes along the upper to mid portion of my spine which are like herniated discs kind of and then grade 1 degenerative lithesis in my lower back that makes bending sometimes extremely awkward and cumbersome. So sit ups, push ups are pretty much out of the picture and are likely why its partially fucked up haha. But lifting weights isn't out of the picture nor is using machines for my legs/arms and my core. I had to do a lot of that in PT anyways just with highly controlled movements. Also small weights would be a cake.

1. Tone is a visible property, which is achieved through a) increased muscle mass and b) decreased body-fat percentage.

2. 15lbs is an appreciable muscle gain, and will take a fair bit of hard work to achieve.


Paying attention to your protein intake, for your purposes, isn't of much importance. Just be more active and do whatever resistance exercises that don't further aggravate your back whenever possible.

Yeah, I'm going to keep track of calorie/protein count just as a means to understanding my diet and keeping track. But mainly just need to put in the food/protein to get the weight. I'll make sure I do enough exercise to work this out. 15lbs shouldnt be hard for me to gain when I'm actually eating consistently. I havent been this light in a very long time. I just havent been eating properly at all
