You are a 12-year old. At that age you have lots of energy and high metabolism……so you need all kinds of food; meats and eggs, veggies and fruits, sweets and milk products, to really give your growing body all the energy, proteins, carbs, fats, minerals, and vitamins.

And you’re skinny! It’s easier for a skinny person to gain muscle and weight, than it is for an obese person to lose their fat.

So enjoy yourself while you still can….eat normally and play sports. Don’t worry about muscles, proteins and fats. All that should be left for the day you turn 30!

I’ve used to find out what I should be eating.

But I would say mostly high protein meats, like chicken, fish and even occasionally red meat. Good luck!

Wow, Cody.. way to read her question… advertise much?

*shakes head*

Anything with lots of protein is good.. meats and peanut butter and things like that. They make protein shakes too but blegh…

Be sure you work out too. That protein will go to waste unless you work on those muscles. Muscles weigh more than fat too, so you’ll actually be better off with muscle weight rather than fat weight.

Plenty of protein via lean meats. And don’t forget the dairy. Very important for females of all ages.

same situation when i was that age just eat right and exercise muscle weighs more then fat so don’t just eat but also exercise look good and still b healthy

muscle weight is gained by building muscle, not eating. you will need to make an exercise plan. lots of sit ups, push ups, and lunges. also, eating doesn’t make you gain weight, eating unhealthy foods makes you gain weight. if you’re worried about getting fat, just eat more healthy foods and cut down of junk foods and desserts.

lots of protein as long as you work out.
lean meats, chicken, turkey, salmon

wholegrain pastas

anything with a lot of protien and not many carbs

Protein and exercise.

Muscle juice and steroids.
