without working out doesnt make you fatter. You just pee it out. Is this true? If so, would it be a good idea to drink a home made protein shake(I have a website that tells me recipes for home made ones) every two days, even if I don't work out, just to gain some fat? I'm really skinny and I want to get fatter. Once i'm fatter I'll probably start working out. Hi.

You want to workout for hypertrophy and you need the protein to build the muscle after that. So yes you need to lift weight if you want to build muscle. You just don't ''pee it out'', and you shouldn't want to get fat.. and drinking protein isn't the best idea for fat gain.. just eat a lot of carbs with a 50/30/20 (carbs, protein, fats) eat more calories than what you need a day and workout and you'll see results, you'll gain both muscle and fat.

I need fat. I'm extremely skinny. Seriously. I'm not even sure why I'm so skinny. I eat more than my classmates, and I'm still skinnier. My doctors have taken lots of blood, and still they found nothing. My conclusion is that I have a high metabolism. =/

If you're trying to get fat then focus on a diet of red meat, pasta and other carbs, eggs, soups, and have snacks in between meals. Don't go out and eat fast food and junk food.

I don't see why you can't just work out? Search for a gym near your house that you could go to daily, or sign up for a PE class at school. Homemade protein shakes are no different than counter stock ones.

yeah it seems more efficent to work out when you have more weight on your body because you have more tissues to rip

Protein shakes don't really make you fatter. The are designed to help in the use of forming new muscle which comes from working out. If you just drink protein shakes and don't work out, I really can't see any benefits. There are some downsides though. The unused protein in your body could reveal itself in the form of acne or nasty farts. Also if you are replacing your usual carb intake with these shakes, it will drain you of energy and make you tired a lot. Basically, the shakes won't do anything good for you. Eat more carbs and starches if you want to gain weight with minimal exercise. Breads, potatoes, eggs, and stuff like that.
