Funny, alot of us have the opposite problem.
"1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. Don't change anything, just eat like you normally would and count how many calories you consumed. This is an extremely important step, so try to be as exact as possible. Also, weigh yourself.
2) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories MORE then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would now eat 2500 calories a day. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5-6 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. To get big, you have to eat big! Remember that.
3) Weightlifting! Get in the gym and lift! This is another important step to how to gain weight, so make sure you are doing it correctly. For more information on weightlifting workout routines and splits, read the workout routines and splits section.
4) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice you're gaining just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 10lb increase. Gaining anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthy and means you're putting on way to much fat. So look for 1 or 2 pound gains at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can be gaining 5-8 pounds a month!
5) Heres an important one. At some point, you will stop seeing weight gain. At this point, you will have to eat even more. So, when you stop gaining for at least 2 weeks, it means it is time to start eating an extra 250 calories a day. Every time you see you haven't gained weight for at least 2 weeks, add an extra 250 calories."

Enjoy it while you can! Don't stress about what you're eating, just be sure to get plenty of exercise that will build muscle and strengthen your bones, like weight resistance exercises. Concentrate on nutritious foods that are relatively high calorie, like beans, nuts, peanut butter and the occasional ice cream for a treat. As long as you're healthy and have enough energy, don't worry about your weight. Most women would give their right arm to have your dilemma! Good luck, and God bless.

If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. Let me tell you a story. Everyone kept telling my grandmother she is too skinny, so what did she do, she started eating more and more and more. So she gained weight, when she was done with gaining weight, she couldn't stop eating her high fat, protein diet.. And she never lost it. So I mean, you are 16 and still growing, eat enought to fit your needs, but don't worry about it.

If you eat healthy foods and get regular exercise...don't stress about it! Naturally, your metabolism will slow down and you will wish you didn't gain weight.
I was 100 lbs at 5'6'' when I was 17. I started gaining in college with beer and junk and now I wish I had been smarter all along.
Moderation is the key to EVERYTHING.
