Increase protein intake and start a sensible weight lifting program.  You want to put on muscle, not fat, or you will end up being flabby later in life.  Always see a doctor before starting a new diet, and if you are over 40, see a doctor before starting an exercise program.

Just leave yourself the way you are.  You are just a bit skinny and that is sexy.  You will naturally gain weight as you get older, trust me.

Don't pay too much attention to the advice the previous posters gave you--they're suggesting ways of gaining weight that way is incredibly unhealthy. Sure, fast food and ice cream will make you fatter, but eating those kinds of foods is detrimental to your overall well-being. If you want to gain weight AND stay healthy while doing it, eat bigger portions of calorie-rich and nutritional meals. Exercise less, but don't cut it out of your routine completely. If you snack throughout the day, that's actually causing your metabolism to work more than it would if you ate three separate meals.

Protein and carbohydrates! Vegetables! Eat three good meals a day, and two to three healthy snacks. Don't skip. And exercise. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you can get on a good regimen of lifting light weights, you can put on muscle and gain the weight. (Even if you just get 2 lb. dumbbells and work out your arms, you'll see a difference in a couple of weeks.)

The worse thing you can do is NOT EAT. When we don't eat or we aren't getting enough calories, you will not lose weight our bodies have a way of defending themselves. Whenever it feels like it is being starved it will start storing fat. \n\nThe best thing you can do is to eat your meals three times a day, don't eat a lot . Don't eat too little either. \nDrink plenty of water. get plenty of excercise. \n\nAvoid the fad diets and the diet pills. Often times they do not work and they sometimes even do more harm to our bodies than good. Avoid excessive intake of caffeine and sodium. Those are number one enemies to our bodies, they cause our body to absorb and retain water which can be a big contributor to our weight gain. \n\n\nYou will lose an average of 2 pounds a week, that is healthy for us, losing more than that can be hard on your heart. \n\nThe best thing you can do is to be patient and it takes will power. \n\nThe best snacks if you need one is peanut butter crackers. If you bring snacks to work with you don't bring a whole pack, put some in a baggy\n\nDon't buy things that are fatty because you know you are going to eat it, You are not doing yourself a favor. \n\nGood luck to you.

Try drinking Ensure.  A lot of times it's sold next to the pharmacy.  Ask the pharmacist how much to drink to gain healthy weight.  Also, I have a friend who's naturally very thin.  When she loses a few pounds, she eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a snack between meals to gain the weight back.  I don't really know why this works for her, but it does.  It's worth a try.

I would give you advice on this but as a child I was also skinny.  There are healthy shakes that you can drink or what not but I basically let my body do what it was going to do and now I am average.  If your metabolism is just to high then you really aren't going to be able to do too much.  \n\nBe careful about overeating.  There are a lot of serious implications to it.  I do know where you are coming from and why you are trying to gain though.  Its as much a stigma as it is if you are overweight.  I was known as skin-and-bones-jones.

No your not, don't take that stuff... is it worth screwing yourself over in the long run... just gain weight the old fashion way... eat eat eat and when you cant eat any more, EAT... eat every chance you can like eight meals a day... they don't even have to be big... and then if you really wanna gain weight you will because you will stick with it!!

The only way to increase your weight is to eat more calories than you burn. For someone who finds it hard to put on weight my advice is to snack constantly. Make sure you don't go for more than 2-3 hours without eating. Eat protein rich, conveinient snacks like nuts etc. Eat loads of meat and loads of carbs, never miss breakfast. Eat a big snack before bed and you will be putting on weight in no time. \n\nTo make the weight you put on muscle, weight train. Doesn't have to be anything special: Squats, bench press, chin ups, shoulder press, and some arm curls, leg curls etc will use lots of big muscles and train them to get bigger and stronger.

Try eating stuff with fiber, like brown bread and rice, they make you feel full and are not that fattening. Drink lots of water and carry healthy snacks with you (fruit, avoid bananas thoug and low fat cheese).

Well, I have a bit of the same problem. Like you, I've been lean my whole life. If you feel you are underweight, try going to see a doctor who can check out your thyroid. You may have what I have, hyperthyroid. So we burn off energy faster than the normal person which is why we stay lean. However, to gain weight consists of certain factors. For one, people will tell you to try eating more. Instead, write down what you eat for about a week and then compare it to the food pyramid. Based on what you eat, it will tell you what food to eat more of to gain weight. For me, I realized I needed to eat more carbohydrates. Be careful if people tell you to eat a lot of protein. Everything must be done in moderation. Too much protein can have an effect on female hormonic changes as well as other things not so good. Also, start weight lifting. This will increase muscle as well as weight (What's called BMI; you can look it up online). I hope I've been of some help.
