You definately want to up your caloric intake, which it seems you are doing. Make sure you are eating more lean protein and vegetables. Keep bread and other carbs to a minumum, but you *do* need to eat them. To bulk up quick, you can try lifting heavier weighs for fewer repetitions. This doesn't burn off the fat over the muscle though. You could end up with big old muscles with a layer of fat over them. To avoid this, lifting a lighter weight (say 5 or so pounds) for MORE repetitions makes long, lean muscles. I'd also suggest an exercise ball. You can do so much with just your body, two 5 pound weights, and an exercise ball. You can try adding one of those powders from GNC. Sometimes they taste nasty so only get a little container at first to see if you like it instead of buying a huge one and possibly wasting your money because you don't use it.

try eating less and lots of push-ups. this will eventually turn them into muscle.

Eat more protein and excersise,yes you heard me right...excersise. your body still needs to be healthy and you need to gain in a healthy way.

That is true Muscle weighs more than fat so if you up your protein intake (chicken, turkey are good sources) and do a little exercise you should start to put on weight.\nDont worry you dont have to be any kind of body builder or anything like that! Just a few days a week of some exercise you can enjoy.

build more muscle and eat many small meals a day instead of just a few bigger meals.

You should have a medical check up.  hyperthyroidism, diabetes, viruses, malabsorption syndromes, other stuff can cause inability to gain weight with effort.

i used to have your problem. 2 years ago i was extreemely underweight but i have since gained 40lbs (mostly muscle since my body fat percentage has remained the same). There is no such thing as being unable to gain weight. You just simply arent eating enough. if you are the same as me, then you would need to be eating 5-6 high protein full meals a day accomipanied by 3x a week weight lifting. click on my name and look at my replies in other threads if you want to know more.

I was always underweight when I was younger as well. When I was in my early twenties my metabolism completely changed and I automatically morphed into a normal weight. The best advice I can give you as far as gaining weight is to ask your doctor. Your doctor can give you advice as to how to gain weight in a way that wont cause any health problems.

Just eat a little more of what you are eating. Like one more slice of bread, one more egg, a little bit more meat, extra scoop of ice cream, etc\n\nTake it slowly. In addition, do a little bit more exercise like weight training to stimulate growth.

Maybe it's inborn that you're skinny. You could try eating lots. And don't do any exercise.

Eat, eat, and eat. You just dont grow in the gym dude...You gotta eat to grow. Also, get enough sleep. Take multi vitamins. And of course, lift hard!

ok...\n1.. training when u young and your body still growing you will f up your body and stunt your growth...\n2. the only way to increase muscle mass is to eat protein... beans, fish, tofu etc etc...\n3 after training make sure u get some zinc in to repair the nerve endings\n4 get a proper training schedule to maximise your time in the gym\n5 eat 5 times a day to keep your matabolism up and going\n\nthat all i could think off!\n\nhave fun!

find a good protein drink and work out with weights to gain muscle mass. muscle is heavier than fat.

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.

What body supplement?  It does sound like you are UNDERWEIGHT.  Or at least almost perfect.  IF YOU ARE MALE (I didn't check) then you are a quite a bit underweight which means either you are eating like CRAP or you have a HIGH metabolism.  Perhaps you have HYPERthyroidism where your thyroid is OVERACTIVE and you cannot gain weight.  Eat Lots of different foods.  Do not eat TOO much fat.  Try ENSURE with extra protein.  Ensure is a supplement that doctors prescribe for people who cannot eat solids so it is a very good supplement.  Or get a WHEY PROTEIN POWDER AND EGG WHITES.  THESE are the BEST proteins.  Together they give you ALL the amino acids you need for your body.  Exercise appropriately.
