Skinny guy how do I get bigger?
So im a 17 year old guy, im 6'2 145 lbs. Im just naturally very skinny, i eat a lot but im still skinny. My metabolism is just really high i guess. Im not really interested in lifting or getting really huge muscles. I just want to get a little bigger so im not so freaking skinny, my arms are like pencils. My mom says i will fill out naturally, but it hasnt happened yet. Theres a chance i could though because my cousin was the same way, and he filled out however im not sure if he lifted or not. Anyway, do you think i will just naturally fill out my frame if i keep eating good, or will i need to start lifting weights? Will my metabolism eventually slow down and ill get bigger then, if so, when will that probably happen? Remember, im not really interested in getting huge muscles, i just want to fill out so im not so freaking skinny.

Hi!
You're still young and you're only 17, I think you will fill out as you grow older but what would help is to also eat things very high in protein. Fish, eggs, red meats etc and also protein shakes help too. You can also do light excersises that would help build muscle and stamina, not saying to start body building, but physical activity, does help in making you appear bigger BUT in a healthy way, especially because you are a male and your body is obviously different to a girl, and we usually appear smaller and more petite from being fit. Hope i've helped.
