Brother you can't change it. It's just how YOUR body works , it's how my body works. Much like you I at one time would eat everything in sight trying to put on some pounds and all it ever did for me was run up the grocery bill. Its our motabolizm and this just doesn't change because we want to tack on pounds. You can however change what society sees. At about 20 I started messing around with weights. At first I really wasn't too serious about it , just some curls and bench pressing. After a few weeks of toying with them my girlfriend asked if I had added a few pounds and I said not that I'm aware of why. She said your shirt is tighter fitting that before !! I knew the scales don't lie and concluded it had to be the joke of a work out I had been doing. So I decided to really give this an honest try. Within a month and a half of serious effort dude I change the whole perception of how I looked in other people's eyes. My weight fluxed a fraction from day to day but over all body wise it all but doubled in polroportion to the old me.

If you're not gaining weight, you aren't consuming enough calories, period.

When you complain you're gaining fat not muscle, then we can talk about nutrient partitioning and insulin sensitivity and timing and so on (as well as training).

But if you're not gaining weight, eat 500 more calories a day then you do now, if not 1000. Every day.

You should eat more, eat the right foods, train hard, believe you can do it and most of all be consistent.

To gain weight, you have to be consistent. Eat 5000kcal every single day and never skip workouts. Persist until you’ve achieved your goal weight. If you’re really active, doing a very physical job or commuting to work with your bike each day for 20miles, then 5000kcal per day might not be enough for you to gain weight. Solution: eat more.

Keep tracking calories and weigh yourself every 2 weeks. If you don’t gain weight with 5000kcal/day, eat 6000kcal/day. Still not gaining weight, 7000kcal/day. Still not? 8000kcal/day.

Wishing you the best of luck.

Some people have a really high metabolism and struggle to put on weight. You need to eat energy dense foods (i. e. those which have lots of calories per gram, so a smaller quantity has more calories... For example, 100g of lettuce only has like 10 calories, whereas 100g of cheddar cheese has about 400).

You can gain weight eating healthy foods, such as oily fish, nuts, lean meat, full fat dairy, and obviously you still need vegetables/fruit and healthy carbs (like brown rice etc).

The best thing to do is to see a doctor, be weighed, and have a meal plan tailored to you. Your doctor can also check for any thyroid problems and deficiencies. Good luck!

Protein. What I did to gain some weight was drink pediasure once or twice a day (it's basically a meal in a bottle) but I'd talk to a doctor before doing that, I did that after losing 10lbs in a week because of medical problems.

Built muscle to gain weight and eat a lot of protein.

Keep a food journal, most likely you aren't eating as much as you think you are. In it write down your meals and the macro nutrients in them.

You may think you're eating a lot but if you actually want to gain weight you need to count calories. Only then you will see how hard it is to eat that much

You need to eat healthy foods not just junk! Also, lift some weights you'll gain muscle mass...
