My boyfriend can eat anything and is soo skiny. Some people have faster metabolisms and it is difficult to gain weight. My suggestion is to SLOWLY start adding more calories. The reason you need to do it slowly is because if gain too much to fast you might end up way bigger than you want to be. Change your diet gradually until you find something that works

Then after you have reached the desired weight stick to that specific amount of calories to maintain your weight but not gain more. This sounds weird but if you drink a weight loss shake along with your meals it will add extra calories. It's like eating two meals at once. Eat more carbs too. Bread, pasta, potatos. Those are foods that make you gain weight.

If you're eating right and getting the proper amount of calories(for your age its around 2500-3000 daily) you should be ok. Some people just metabolizes food faster than others. I know quite a few people this way and theres nothing wrong with that. Definitely dont overeat or eat alot of fatty or sugary food since that will lead to problems. If youre really concerned ask to talk to a doctor

in case you wan't to income weight, and build muscle. you do no longer wan't to easily over consume with junk meals. this might truthfully makeyou fatter, and undesirable. yet once you wan't to income muscle you will would desire to drink some extreme protein drink's, shakes, meals. Peanut Butter & Jelly i think of could be a superb initiate. The Peanut Butter will supply you Protein, on an identical time as the Jelly has lot's of extreme Fructose, and Sugars, to help positioned of the load. you may wan't to learn out some much less high priced CVS Pharmacy over the counter varieties of organic herb pills to help help the muscle tissues. i won't have the capacity to think of of any names of those varieties, yet i understand they exist, i've got heard of human beings taking them, and had good effects while taken many times.

Hah! It's the same thing for me. I'm 17 and still 105lbs. I tried gaining more calories than losing them. However, I gave up because you and I probably have fast metabolisms. Try gaining more muscle; muscle is denser and heavier than fat, so if you were to lose the fat and replace it with fat, you should get a bit heavier and healthier.

easy with those eating habits, it can turn in to a diet/binge/diet/binge thing and you will find it extremely difficult to get out of it. Whatever you decide to do, please be careful
