i'm a 17 year old girl (i'm white), i'm 5'1 & weigh 92 lbs & am a 32A. my BMI is 17.2 (the lowest # that is still "safe" for my age), and my body fat percent is 16.4% (checked this online, don't know if it's correct)
i've been skinny all my life, i'm just made tiny. i'm also pretty active, i've been a dancer since i was 7 and i'm a black belt in TaeKwonDo. so i'm pretty fit. but i hate that i have virtually NO fat on my body at all :(
many many times i've tried to bulk up & gain weight. i've tried eating double what i usually do & drinking protein shakes & eat power bars. i always end up giving up because i never see results, even after months, and i get tired of eating so much.
is it possible that later in life (like early 20s or something) my metabolism might change to allow me to gain weight easier? it seems like it's impossible for me to gain any weight right now, will this change later on? or will i always be so freaking little? lol
serious & helpful answers only please
