Answer 1

Okay I have your problem, and here is some serious answers that I have researched/been told. First of all, still eat healthy, dont stuff yourself silly, and do excercise.

Eat higher calorie fruits and veggies (bananas, carrots, apples basically any fruit and veggie that is not watery.

protein! Eat lean meat, eat peanutbutter, ask your doctor about taking some protein powder, my doc prescribed me some to take, and it actually doesn't taste to bad.

Eat healthy high calorie foods like nuts, legumes, wheat crackers.

Never be plain. Top your toast with maregines made with healthy fats, peanut butter, jelly. add cheese to your scrambled eggs. This will add calories without filling you up. Cook with healthy olive oil and sprinkle it on your saled, add eggs, crackers and other filling stuff to your salads. fill omelets with cheese and veggies. Order creamy soups.

Swich to whole grains, there healthier and more calorie dense. Eat complex carbohydrates, not loads of sugar.

Eat 3 meals and at least 3 snacks.

here are some healthy high calorie snack ideas.

1. plain full fat yogurt and frozen berries blended together and some peanuts mixed, makes a great dip.

2. Cheesy garlic bread made with whole wheat bread.

3.peanut butter on toast with bananas washed down with full fat milk.

4.whole wheat blueberry muffins, or pancakes

5. Pasta!

6. homemade pizza.


Now, If you wanna gain weight but still be healthy do weight training and resistance excercises. Do crunches, and buy hand and ankle weights, and use them. And jump rope too, or swim.remember muscle ways more than fat!

This is just how your metabolism works. You already eats a lot so what more can you do? Just because you are skinny doesn't mean that if you eat things that aren't good for you in order to gain weight that they can't make you ill. I am willing to be that as you get older your metabolism will change and you'll be able to gain weight and then you may regret getting into the habit of eating a lot and things that are not so good for you.

My suggestion is to continue eating healthy foods and living a healthy lifestyle and if you feel you need to, ask your parents to contact a nutritionist. ( I know, we crazy Americans can find someone to counsel us on anything !! lol )

Good luck.

Have a general check up of your health and make sure that you are not suffering from any disease which is the cause of your
not gaining any weight. If your parents, siblings are thin too, it means it is heriditory characteristic. If you are hale and healthy
and active without being tired, it is sufficient.
People try hard to shed weight, so it is a virtue to be lean.
Enjoy all kinds of food and be happy
