start lifting weights. Go heavy and don't do that many sets. it worked for me.
Now I have to do the opposite to keep the weight in check :)
i am vegetarian though
Eat often. It's easier to eat more that way. Make sure you get a good balanced diet, this is harder if you are vegetarian. I take it you don't eat eggs. You could include lots of milk products if you eat those. Pulses such as lentils combine well with grains like rice.
Eat often
If you eat too much you won't be able to stop and you'll have an even bigger problem to cope with. I don't what it contains but drink coke instead of water and snack once daily by eating crisps if you don't like chocolate. Most have the Suitable for vegetarians mark on the back.
Self-control is the key - put on weight but not too much and do it over a long space of time.

There are two things you will need to do to bulk up. First, look at what you are eating. Cut down on sugar. You shouldn't have more sugar than a can of soda and a bowl of ice cream a day. Replace those calories with protien (for building muscle) and starch (for energy). When I was in shape I was eating oatmeal for breakfast, pasta (Bolognese sauce) for lunch and I was eating two chicken breasts a night with rice or potatoes on a regular basis. Since you are vegitarian you will need to find something like tofu to substitue for the chicken. The trouble is you will have to eat a lot of it. Protien shakes are a good addition too. Oh yeah, you have to cut out alcohol and junk food.
Now that you body has the bulding blocks for muscle, you need to build it. As meantioned previously low reps and heavy weight is good for bulking up. Work out in the morning for 45 minutes, and do some cardio in the afternoon, stairmaster, jog, bike, get your heart rate elevated for ten-twenty minutes. The key is being discliplined. You will be bigger in no time.
What type of planners do you have?
Do you used to have hefty schedules...when you were at college level...what should i do..?
may be this overload is preventing my growth....but i cant really remove any of the activity....from my days schedule...
its getting hard with each days passing by
My wife is a Lacto-Vegitarian, and I assure you there are plenty of healthy diets out there. She has studied martial arts since she was 14 and is VERY strong, and extremely healthy. I don't worry about breaking her when the play gets a little rough, that's for sure. As-far-as gaining weight? You will be able to do this with training AND diet. One without the other... And you will not succeed.

...i am vegetarian though...
You mean, you eat POOR, DEFENSELESS, PLANTS?!
:o
I'm a carnivore (on Atkins right now, to LOSE weight).
At least animals have teeth and claws and can defend themselves. Plants just sit there defenselessly and wait for us predator humans to pick off their offspring (fruits and vegetables), or their leaves and roots.
How do I stay trim and lose weight :)
Print 5 copies of your post and put them with important but seldom accessed documents. That way you will keep encountering them now and again in life, which should be good for a laugh if nothing else.
I had the same problem, stick-skinny most of my life.
Get successful, eat better, hire employees to do your hard work, turn 38, and go look in the banking papers again for your post at age 21. (WebmasterWorld doesn't have a laughing emoticon, do they?)
