Eat lots of red meat, and do strength excercise.\n\nBut, so you know, it's a lot worse to be on the other end of the scale, my friend. Don't work too hard on losing your shape.

If you have a really accurate scale, you will find your body weight can fluctuate daily by said few pounds. And you can't control where you put the weight on just by eating. Sugar and carbs build fat fastest, or you can simply make sure you drink plenty of fluids, most people tend to be dehydrated a little, especially if they are caffeine fiends. But muscle weighs more by volume, so I suggest if you want to increase weight, build muscle.

I have the same problem...I am almost the same height and weight as you. Just eat healthy and try to have a snack whenever you think of it...something with protein is good. Nuts are good to snack on. Or, apples with peanut butter. I like to buy yogurt drinks since they're good for when you're on the run. But, it's very tough to gain weight if you have a fast metabolism....try not to worry that much about it. You are how you are. Being healthy is the most important thing.

I used to be very thin.  I got no girls and the guys all thought I was weak even though I was actually pretty healthy and strong. \n\nAnyway, I stopped smoking cigarettes, and I started going to the gym.  I went kind of crazy but I recommend you go pretty heavy but slow and reasonable.  \n\nGet yourself a basic book on bodybuilding.  Basic!  \n\nDon't worry about supplements but here is the secret which made me gain 5o pounds in 5 months.  Eat like you are crazy.  \n\nI don't mean big amounts at one time but if you consume 800 quality calories every hour(set an alarm).\n\nI ate normal foods.  But absolutley not chocolate or candy.  This stuff will burn off too quickly.\n\nI ate alot of chicken sandwiches with cheese and monster cheese burgers. Fried chicken, potato salad.  Vegetables are important but eat those last after you ate some heavy stuff.  \n\nAnd finally, don't go overboard.  Thin people look really cool in their clothes.  And later in life you will be happy to be thin and probably increase you life span by staying thin.  \n\nBut, right now you want chics and that is understandable.  Put on about 15 kilos and be done with it.  You won't lose it again after you gain it.\n\nI am glad I put on wieght, but right now I have a nice middle sized body and I am not sef conscious at all.  \n\nAlso, get somoe cool clothes.  You don't have to spend a lot of money but try to fashion it up a bit.  \n\nAnd also, getting girls is a numbers game.  You said you don't "attract" the girls.  How do you know?  Anyway, it doesn't normally work like that.  You have to be proactive and learn that if you get rejected, that is just one more rejection closer to the one(or two) that are going to say OK.\n\nAlso, you are pretty young.  Girls your age are somtimes pretty shallow.  They care about cars, money, popularity, etc.  The wonderful thing about those kind is that they are very easy to manipulate once you finally turn the tables. \n\nAnd you won't feel guilty about manipulating them.  They are bitches right?\n\nBut don't treat the nice ones bad.  Treat them nice and appreciate them.  But, always kind of keep in mind that you could get burned by a chic that you really like.  If you are prepared for it and realize that there is always another one then this won't hurt you.\n\nWomen sometimes call us pigs but sometimes they create the loathsome woman-haters by showing themselves to be unworthy of a man's sincerety.  It works the other way too.\n\nGirls your age would prefer to get the shalloe glory from telling their friends who they rejected, than to just actually have a boyfriend and be getting shagged.  \n\nBut later, after about age 25, if you haven't already turned the tables then the table will turn automatically.\n\nThey will be getting fat and old and leeching for a man to marry.  While a man usually just gets more distinguished looking with age.  And you, you will be your tall svelt self, and buddy, you will be dangerous.

The healthier you get the more efficient your body will be. I suggest that the ten pounds you're hoping to gain is muscle not fat. But still eat regularly not too much sugar in your meal not too less. Exercise a lot. Every morning do stretches, sit-ups, push-ups. And when you get stronger do more everyday. Do that and you will be healthier. Your self-esteem might be better if you do this too. Your lungs probably will be stronger so you can hold your breath longer. A healthy body, a great mind, a great soul.

I think this is an issue that people don't respect, because so many people focus on trying to lose weight, they can't understand why people can't gain weight.\n\nPossible options:\n\nLift weights, wait till you're older and your metabolism slows down.  \n\nI went to a doctor once for something similiar and didn't get much respect for it.  His suggestions were to eat hamburgers and milkshakes.  I would avoid much dramatic changes in your eating habits, like people who want to lose weight start adjusting slowly how much you eat, and lifting weights will help even if it increases your metabolism because once you build muscles you're less likely to lose them than you would fat if you're metabolism is higher as you suggest.  Good luck, just make sure you don't overdue the weight gain to fast so you're organs can adjust as well as when you are older and your metabolism slows you haven't swung yourself into being overweight.

If you are fit and fine then why to add weight.You should be proud of your body.\nAny way if you are bent upon to gain some weight then try to do some exercises with weight on regular basis.And add banana ,grams and proteins and milk to your daily diet,with the passage of time you will gain what you want.

Ok, the following will assist in weight gain, you need to have 6 meals a day and increase fruit intake & dairy. I don't know what foods you like or can eat but modify, you'll get the idea. Make sure all dairy is full fat not skim. \n\nBreakfast 8am - 2 pieces soy & linseed toast w butter & peanut butter & 1 tub of yoghurt w 5 walnuts & glass of orange juice\nSnack 10.30am - banana smoothie w honey\nLunch 1pm - soy & linseed sandwhich w 2 eggs/50g meat & salad & swiss cheese\nSnack 3.30pm - nut type bar w seaseme seeds, honey & nuts\nDinner 6pm - 1 cup pasta/rice/potatoes side with 200g meat\nSnack 8pm - 2 scoops of ice cream \n\nGood luck!

Increasing starchy, sugary, and greasy foods is not a good idea. These are bad for your body. Even if you want to gain weight, your calories should come from foods that are good for you. Healthy fats include omega 3 oils like fish oils, flax, and nuts. Good sources of protein include organic meats, fish, and organic poultry. Increase the number of meals per day to 5 or 6 small balanced meals. Protein powders and shakes can be added as meals. Some are flavored and only need added water and some others can blended with water or your choice of juices to improve the taste. It would be a plus to add a small amount of flax seed oil and some psillium powder to add some healthy fiber. \n\nSupplements\nA good quality multivitamin and mineral supplement is a good idea. Some people find that their muscle mass improves with extra amino acid formulas. Some people who are very ill may need liquid nutritional preparations that are available through their doctors. \nExercise\nExercise is also important. Resistance training like lifting weights will tend to increase muscle mass more so than aerobic training which is better suited to losing fat. Resistance training can be done at a health club or with the proper equipment at home. \n\nIf you need to gain weight, it is possible to do so in a healthy manner with the right foods and exercise. Eating junk foods, sugary or greasy foods is not healthy. Neither are taking steroids or questionable supplements. Be sure that anything you take into your body is healthy.

It is a fact that most of your body structure is based from your Genes. I'm 36 and have a hard time managing my weight. But this should not keep you from trying. Try changing your exercise program by doing different exercises or stepping up past your current level. Working more muscles burns more fat. I get good results from doing this and it really helps me. Don't confuse your weight gain with building muscle. It adds weight too. Try doing body measurements with a measuring tape or calipers available at most sporting good stores. This will help you see your results and track your true progression. And if this helps I do recall China saying in her book how she was overweight when she was younger, now look at her. Been in Playboy, TV etc. etc. But the one thing she didn't do was give up.

Even when you want to gain weight, your calories should come from foods that are good for you.\n\n- Cut out empty calorie foods such as sugary snacks and white flour foods. Breads, pastas and cereals should come from whole grains.\n- Good sources of protein include organic meats, fish, and organic poultry.\n- Drink protein-rich beverages (e.g. milk-based fruit shakes).\n- Have fruit juices between meals.\n- Munch on nuts and seeds, which are high in calories and many other nutrients.\n- Increase the number of meals per day to 5 or 6 small balanced meals.\n\nProtein powders and shakes can be added as meals. Some are flavored and only need added water and some others can blended with water or your choice of juices to improve the taste. It would be a plus to add a small amount of flax seed oil and some psillium powder to add some healthy fiber. \n\nYou may find these sites helpful:\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/pdfs/gaining_weight.pdf\nhttp://www.suplimednutrients.com/articles/healthy-weight-gain.php\n\nGood luck...

I had the same problem when I was younger. I couldn't gain weight no matter what I did. If you doctor is telling you that you are under weight and it is for your health, check and see if they can make you an appointment with a nutritionist, someone that can put a diet plan together for you. The down side to being able to eat whatever you want and not gain weight is that you develop bad eating habits. I'm 30 now and still the right size for my height, age, but now I worry about cholesterol, etc. If you can't get to a nutritionist, try a diet with high protien, meats, fish, chicken, etc. Then make sure to add at least one vegetable at every meal. Stay away from high fat foods thinking they will put on weight faster. Also, try to keep dairy in your diet if you can.\nGood luck.

I'm very much like you - not able to gain much weight, etc. What I have done (I'm 19), is swim (whole-body work-out), and play tennis (really builds your arms), and I run once a day (except on weekends - so that your muscles have a relaxation period where they are able to repair, and build themselves stronger) - the running builds your whole body (especially your legs). Your waist is fine, if you build up the rest of your body. My waist is very small as well. As for dieting, I've been eating eggs, toast, and stuff like sausage, and bacon for breakfast (only eat this kind of stuff if you are planning to work out, because it has a lot of protein in it, which will contribute to your muscle and weight gain only if used through working out), and eat things like a lot of meat, carbohydrates, like pasta is excellent as long as you use it to your advantage, and work out, so that it goes to your muscles, lots of fruits, and vegetables, energy bars with a lot of protein, but low counts of sugar, and milk (for your bones), and lots and lots of water. Make your workout routine different, and exciting (try biking, hiking, mountain climbing, etc.), and just strive your best to eat healthier than you have ever eaten, and you should definitely notice a difference in about 3-4 weeks. Also, if you feel more comfortable, you can join a gym, and work with a personal trainer a couple of times, and they will be able to give you a personalized routine, and diet based on your weight, and muscle mass, etc.\n\nHope this helps, and good luck! :)

Wish I had your metabolism LOL.  I just look at food and gain weight.  Ok well best suggestion is to go to a health food store and talk to someone there they should be able to recommend something or like a vitamin health store is what I meant to say.
