Tips to gain weight/appetite?

Hey guys, i know this might sound a bit odd but i have always had trouble to gain weight mainly because i have a very poor appetite. I can go without eating for a whole day. At the moment i'm taking centrum advanced and this seems to help with my appetite (currently i eat 3 meals a day) but i haven't seen any improvement in my weight. So i was wondering if any of you has any tips for weight/appetite gain? Thanks :smile:

Weight gain? Eat more.

Lean muscle gain? Eat a bit more, sufficient protein and be patient.

protein shakes/bars? Speak to your doctor first though :smile:

Try and eat about 500 calories more a day to put on about a pound a week

Tip - drink all your liquids AFTER you've eaten your meals. Otherwise it takes up valuable space on your stomach. Same goes with vegetables - if possible, eat them after everything else.

Try and drink some calories - make your own weight gainer for example. I've done this and it's extremely easy to get the calories.

Of course, vigorous training such as sprints or high intensity 'cardio' will also increase ur appetite.. you'll be begging for a burger afterwards
