Why can't I gain weight?

[Anonymous]

I'm 17 years old and I CAN'T GAIN ANY WEIGHT. I weigh 118 pounds and I'm 5'7 and I've been working out a lot. I'm toned but I'm not ripped because I can't gain weight. I've tried everything. Eating more meals, increasing my calorie intake to about 4500 calories a day, eating a LOT of chicken, and getting the about 120 grams of protein a day and I can't gain weight and I need to gain weight in order to increase the size of my muscles.

I mean I'm tonned, but I'm NOWHERE NEAR RIPPED. My metabolism is WAY TOO DAMN HIGH and I can't gain weight. Why am I not gaining weight?

Are you running a lot? I've struggled with gaining weight my whole life. I started eating more which helped and lifting weights. I've gained about 30 pounds, but I noticed I was struggling to gain more weight at one point. I go to the gym three times a week and would run for 45 min. once a week. Once I cut the running day out I noticed it was easier to gain weight.

Nope. I've played Pokemon go and walked a lot but I don't do it everyday

Hm, not sure, maybe see a nutritionist. I feel you though, I was always underweight as a teenager, we have high metabolisms, not sure when they'll slow down. How much carbohydrates are you intaking?

You and I should switch metabolisms. I know a mad scientist who might be up to the task. To the Tinkerer!

You have a high metabolism still, your young, I didn't start till I was in my late 20s
