A member asked:

I'm 18 years old guy, i'm really skinny as compared to all my friends of my age, i want to buff up a bit in grow bit fatty, please help...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skinny guy: Eat a healthy diet and exercise. Working out doing weights and aerobics (cardio) will bulk up your muscles and you'll eventually get buffed. There's no need for protein drinks. Just eat eggs, chicken, fish, beans, vegetables and fruits and drink fat-free milk.
