Feel ya dude. I am skinny myself, and I am always told to eat more as well.
But to be honest, there is nothing wrong with being skinny. There are girls out there who like skinny guys, and guys out there who prefer skinny girls.
It's ok. Just chillax and let your body do it's thing.
It's about my own personal goals too
To become muscular, huh... kk.
I hope you reach your goal. 😊🙋
That is a nice dream but he is not aware of how difficult it is to gain weight yet. He will probably gain 90 percent of his weight as FAT, NOT MUSCLE.
I mean gaining muscle. It is the easiest thing to gain weight but muscle. I meant muscle above.
@Vivaldi
Don't crush his dreams. ಠ_ಠ
Dream crusher. (ง'̀-'́) ง
Of course he is aware of that. Who said he can't try... ಠ_ಠ
Lots of people prefer a lean looking guy rather than the big bulky one.
I think if you just completely accept your body type and are okay with it, then it'll be much easier to progress.
You'll be happy with what you got and progress will be seen as a bonus.
Rather than not being happy and stressing yourself out over it.
You look good bro. Just focus on health.
I think you're hot. Nothing wrong with skinny people.
And just how you mentioned that guys like girls with big boobs, as a skinny girl myself, it's really hard to pack on that extra fat to fill out the invisible curves. My friend even suggested that I stuff tissues in my bra. I was like, "Girl, I'm 17, not some hopeless twelvie."
We're in the same boat my friend.
Instead of boobs, I have a light 6 pack.
Thanks for the compliment. Only some guys only like girls with big boobs, it shouldn't be a problem.
You're an adult... "broke" and your parents don't care about your fitness health so you are pissed you don't have a better gym to go to?
LOL This made my morning!
And bitching and nagging like this turns more girls off then anything else dude (tip for ya)
Woah woah. I'm 17, not an adult yet, I'm broke and my parents can't keep buying me food, I'm not pissed that I don't have a better gym to go to, I'm just saying that my gym is shitty, but I can work with it
He’s 17 you absolute imbecile. He’s not an adult.
Dude, when I was 17 I was 5'8" and weighed about 118 lbs. Eleven years later I'm 5'9" and weigh 155 lbs. You're not destined to be skinny forever. Your metabolism will slow down and all that food you eat will start sticking to you. Best to make sure it sticks as muscle instead of fat. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll slowly get there. The people you idolize would be fat with a gut if they stopped working out. Different bodies give different results.
How do you know? Some people's metabolism doesn't slow down and they stay skinny forever. How do you know that won't happen to me?
You look good man. Just keep lifting. By the time your 27 you'll be jacked. You're not likely you have a dope job and your own house at 17, and you're not going to have a body of a grown man when you're still a juvenile. Keep working hard. Buy a house, become a house. #LiveItLoveIt
Thanks for the advice
You're lacking protein intake. Start eating a hell of a lot more than you think you need to eat. 3k calories is not enough to gain. I was putting away close to 10k when I was bulking. I'd hesitate eating less than 4k now that I'm cutting.

There's no such thing as a hard gainer, just poor nutrition or inefficient workout.
10k will leave my hospitalized
10k? That’s absolutely insane. I’d have to be on drugs to eat that much.
Man i'm not saying this to boost your self esteem or whatever but I would literally choose a slender body over that hormone filled monster. It's just not attractive, it's artificial and grotesque. I love skinny guys, you are actually in a very nice shape. Don't let that kinda thing get to you.
It isn't artificial if you worked at it and did it all natural. I hate being skinny, it's more than the attractive piece of it, it's for my own personal goals too.
You are just complaining about not getting something because you refuse to get it.
This is as moronic as an obese person claiming they can't lose weight because having to eat less and work out is a "shitty advice" that they don't have the stomach to follow.
Eating more and moving less is the correct advice, it is not our problem you are unable to follow it.
Either follow it, or accept being skinny forever, you can't magically have it both ways.
This.
Moving less is not the correct answer though. You don’t need to be a lazy fucking couch potato to gain weight. You can also gain weight by lifting heavy in the gym. So stop acting all arrogant and uppity. And he says he can’t eat more because his appetite doesn’t allow for it and he throws up when he TRIES. How about offering useful advice instead of being a dick?
You are a loser if you think this. My best friend is skinny and short like 5'5 and is a leader among men, the super alfa on earth. It has to do with attitude not whether you are skinny or muscular. And about this point "What are you going to do about it?" hahahahha you think muscles give you respect and people will fear you if you have muscles hahahha. If you lived where I lived muscles meant nothing ;) a bullet in your head and bye to the muscles and to all your supplements.
Muscles do get people to respect you. It's like art. People look at a masterpiece you've made and people respect it if they believe it's amazing. Same way with muscles.
Youbare under 18 too young to understand about what. people respect. If you want to get respected only for having muscles and not a brain I feel sorry for you. You should get respected only for your personality
“You are a loser if you think this” You are a loser for bullying someone who didn’t even do anything to you
Lmao these ectomorphs (skinny) 😂 Yeah thats hard for you to gain weight you must get high calories every day to be bulky.
Ya know my body type is Meshomorphic which means I am naturally muscular hah!.. 😎 So I don't have problems but you can be better with great nutrition&workout routine.
Congrats. Want a cookie? It's easier said than done. You're not an ectomorph so you wouldn't know what stuff skinny guys need to eat and what workouts skinny guys need to do.
Why so mad bruv? Lmao, yeah I am not an ectomorph but it doesn't mean I don't know shit about what ectos need to eat. I am doing this shit since I was a kid I wrote many programs to my ecto friends. Some people are lucky and some aren't, you need good dicipline to achieve your goal and know about what to do, you can even be a gaint in few months.. 😎
Yeah well I don't have the money to be buying all this food everyday.
No matter just go to gym and eat as u can. I was broke as f*ck before and still I don't have much money to spend on protein shakes but I didn't give up on what I am doing.
Well you free because you're a mesomorph. So it's easier for you to grow. Ectomorphs can't just eat whatever
Did you just come here to boost your own self-esteem here? Lol get a life bud.
@AskNaz Ya I came here to rise up my ego chu have problem? 😎
great question fam, im hella skinny too whch sucks, i only eat 1-2 times... I don't know why dont get hungry... even if i ate 5-6 times a day i won't get any weight.. i have this umm what is called oh yh high metabliom... which sucks! believe me I LOOK LIKE A SKELTON
I feel you
When your young you will definitely get more girls if your healthy and in shape but as you age it will change to more of a personality thing. Just make sure you approach the girls you like and keep the conversation interesting in addition learn to make her laugh. This will get you far. Pay attention to what she says and react and be a gentleman until you feel an animal instinct to react. This is important to not hesitate on.
I think you look fine and have should have no problem getting girls because many, including myself, dig skinny guys.
Now try being a chubby chick. That's much harder in my opinion.
Also, you mind if I write my own version of this? About being a "fat" girl all my life? I may just do it anyway.
Go ahead. Have fun with it.
Send me the link when you're done I wanna read it.
I would, but you're anon. Send me a follow request and I'll invite you.
Dude, you are ahead of like 90% of guys out there. Even if you aren't bulked up and cut with low body fat, you're still defined and toned.
That still doesn't meet my personal goals.
This was me for most of my life. I was always called "bones" by friends and family. This started to change when I joined the football team junior yr in HS and worked out everyday harder than I ever have. I was paired up with one of the quarter backs who had been working out for years and I had to keep up. Now that i'm older, my metabolism has slowed down and i'm pretty normal and have to workout and somewhat watch what I eat or it starts to show.
Nice work, but some people gain weight later in life and some don't.
The advice I can give since I'm a junior in highschool also is to lift as heavy as possible. The only way to really get stronger is to lift weights that you can only hit about 5 reps with. Do 5 sets of 5 reps twice a week for each muscle group and you'll start gaining much faster!
If you can't gain right now, then focus on other more objective goal such as massive strength gains (which can be achieved through weight work and eegads, even body weight when more advanced variations and a focus on time under tension and intentity techniques/modifiers are added to the mix.)
FOLLOW THESE STEPS AND YOU CAN GET ALL THE GURLS LIKE ME.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf4rk8Lz5xYDude, I teach sophomores and juniors in high school and they always come back like 2 years after graduation with a weight increase. You'll be fine. Your weight is only temporary.
For some, yes. But not for all.
Lol, then be pessimistic about it and don't do anything about it.
