i'm a 20 yr old guy student nurse havng a weight of only 120 lbs. and the bad thing is my weight isn't even appropriate for my height which is 5'9. i tried going to gym and having weight gaining programs but since school started i stopped because every hr of the day is spent in class i mean having a lecture schedule of 8:00 am until 12:00 pm then a break of 1 hr which is lunch then back to lecture at 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm then quizes will be added for tommorow which i would have to study to get good grades. eventhough i really wanted to go to gym after being dismissed i just can't, cause aside from the fact that my body 's so stressed from the lecture it would take me 2 hours to finish gym then by that time it would be 7:00 pm. right after that i would really have to take dinner which will take me up to 8:30 in the evening. And after that i would have to study which will only last up to 10:00 pm cause by that time i'm already so sleepy and i could not even finish reading the pages.

Gym shouldn't take you 2 hours - you can get a good workout in 45 minutes. Use free weights, stay off the machines. Also I'd suggest using a weight gainer powder for a couple of months to get yourself over 140 at least.

try to study while you work out. you can read and ride the stationary bike or something. I agree your workout doesn't have to take 2 hours. make sure you're eating all the right nutrients. if your body is thinner, accept that maybe you're supposed to be thin.

Check what you are eating. Eat what has a good amount of protein. I'd recommend talking to your doctor since you are underweight and this is a tricky issue.
