I don't have or know a better word to say this but if I start eating a lot of healthy food with lots of protein would I gain some meat everywhere like in my arms, legs, hands, etc. or would I also have to workout to gain some meat/muscle?

Assuming you have a high metabolism, you'll stay skinny but eventually grow a gut with continuous sedentary lifestyle, also known as the infamous "skinny fat". You have to lift weights to create muscle tears and increase protein intake.

The bigger you are, the higher your metabolism is.
But anyways, you've got to stress your muscles to give them a reason to grow.
you will be skinny and fat. skinny around the arms and fat around the stomach. you cant build muscle unless you work out
If you want to build muscle you have to workout and/or exercise. Your body doesn't just say to itself, "Hey, I have alot of protein but I dont know what to do with it, lets just build muscle for no reason." You will either use up the protein as energy, or your body will store it or any left over for later as adipose tissue (Body fat)GTA_dude
Exactly, I miss the days when I could rock anything I wanted because I knew I had track/soccer practice to burn it all offYou will gain body fat whether you like it or not by the time you reach your 30s so enjoy the skinniness while it lasts.
If you want more muscle bulk, then I do suggest lifting weights.

Back when I was younger, I was a bean pole of a kid. I often ate 3 plates of food and I never put weight on. How do you explain that if not for a very high metabolism?[QUOTE="RearNakedChoke"][QUOTE="lonewolf604"]

You're not gonna add muscle without working out, simple as that. If you eat and notice you're getting bigger, it's not lean muscle you're adding, you're just eating more calories than you're burning off and your body is storing it as fat to (hopefully) later be converted to muscular energy during extended exercise. Additionally. it's a fallacy to believe loads of protein = instant mass. Protein's main function is to assist in post-exercise recovery.I don't have or know a better word to say this but if I start eating a lot of healthy food with lots of protein would I gain some meat everywhere like in my arms, legs, hands, etc. or would I also have to workout to gain some meat/muscle?

You are not going to just gain muscle mass by having a high protein diet.
You will probably turn skinny-fat.
Forgot to add I don't want to look all ripped and have muscles like a athlete. Just want some meat added on to make me look not skinny. So that's still not possible without working out?SolidSnake2011-You will get fatter if you eat more calories than you can burn off, sure. You'd be far better served adding lean muscle, though.
