Is it normal that I have a weight cap and can not be NOT underweight?

[Anonymous]

I have tried eating a lot and have times where i overeat consistently. I cannot go past that highest weight which is still underweight according to BMI. and as soon as i stop eating or lessen my eating a lot or dont eat for a day or so... I literally start feeling the bones in my hands more and i start losing weight very easily. I know some people are thinking Give me that problem lol but i seriously haven't heard of this before... Losing weight so easily yet not being able to gain weight, the way i have it.

This could just be your metabolism, and could be completely normal but it’s maybe worth speaking to a doctor about it? Some things can cause weight loss like overactive thyroid, crohn’s, etc. so maybe just for peace of mind if you’re worried you could book an appointment?

Like the other person said it’s possibly hyperthyroidism. How I used to eat to gain weight was eat 6-8 small meals a day that way you never get full. So say six 500 calorie meals instead of one 2000 calorie meal because you’ll feel too full to eat anything after that.

I usually eat all day long. Hungry belly.

Can you have that disease since you were young tho? there's nohing wrong with being naturally thin. I love it. Its the fact i lose weight so easily is funny cause i can't gain past a certain weight no matter what. Its just funny.
