Well  OP is apparently looking for healthy weight gain, not just any weight. Otherwise the correct advice would just be "Find the most calorie dense food available, eat as much of it as you can contain as often as you can, and don't move otherwise."

Get your self some of the food that give doctors heart attack just thinking about it, a Pizza Crunch (a pizza battered and deep fried)  with chips, throw in so broccoli for health (but fry it a well.)  or have a fried mars bar.
Some nice malty beer to wash it down with and you'll well on your way to 4000 calories before lunch, but i'd save your biggest meal till just before you go to bed.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

That sounds just horrible; at least from my point of view. ^^ Deep fried pizza? Deep fried chocolate? Beer? See weenogs post above ;)

You say you can't even lift.  I say bullcrap.

That was a joke, sorry :) I more was mostly just joking that I wouldn't particularly care about the cloud-look xD

So the basic summary is "actually do something about muscles, and then eat more meat than just dicing chicken or bacon with a bowel of rice and noodles" xD I do own some weighted arm-bands and leg-bands, but any exercise with them was still always cardio in the end. Never really made a difference.

I probably should acquire some heavier weights, hand-dumbbells of the like :P
That dude is on anabolic steroids. Blech.

Anyway, you want low repition, high resistance workouts. So, if you're lifting weights, you want to find a weight which you can barely lift after, say, the tenth rep. That'll be a good weight for you, and it will increase as you go. Do maybe three or four sets of that and you're good. If you're lifting enough weight, you'll feel weak afterwords. Then rest a couple days (rotate your muscles, say for example work your arms one day, the next day do squats, then take a day off) and of course eat lots of protein. Eggs are good, so is fish and red meat. This will help you gain muscle mass. Carbohydrates and, well, fat, will also help you gain fat, which you want a little of. As it stands, if you do a workout targeted for muscle mass, you'll end up very lean which is probably ideal.

Oh, and as you're gaining muscles, don't forget to stretch every day. Otherwise you'll get stiff, as well as being at risk of cramps and more serious injuries like torn muscles.

I wouldn't take the criticism of someone who jumped into the thread just to be a jerk too seriously.

Me mate gained 15 kilo once he moved in with his girlfriend.
Supported by unerring logic, I advise you to move in with his girlfriend. If untested hypotheses are your cup of tea, though, you could try moving in with some other lady.
