i have a fast metabolism so it's hard for me to gain weight even if i pig out and shiz and nothing ever really works and i guess i'm just doing something wrong..

so how do you gain weight?

p.s- okay yeah, i don't really look soo skinny in the pictures, but whatever. i still want to gain weight.

holy cow ur skinny. no offense or anything... how much do u weigh and how old are u and how tall r u? bc u might actually be healthy but otherwise just try to eat a little more servings of healthy food.

yeah :/, i'm 14, 5'2" and weigh 92lbs. thanks for the advice.

honetly, ur not that skinny. and wtf? what does a picture of ur eyes have nething 2 do with this? *attention whore*

omg, like really!?

I think that's really hot, but I have a thing for skinny chicks, seriously, I don't know why.

You wouldn't happen to be "emo"? Stay skinny, it looks good on you.

Eat fewer snacks and eat bigger meals.

why do you want to gain weight?

you just look regular kinda slim to me...? you arnt too skinny, you should be happy you dont have to worry about dieting etc and enjoy it while you can :)

good luck

Xx

hey, I just wanted you to know i hear you on this. I am a naturally thin person, (5'5 98-100 lbs) but i used to be even skinnier (5'5 91 lbs) and it used to bother me so much because people would automatically assume i had an eating disorder, although I definitely do not. Anyway, I realized I am what I am, for better or for worse, and to be honest there are many problems that are A LOT worse. Most people would love to be able to eat whatever they want and not put on any weight... and most likely your metabolism won't last forever, so make the most of it while you can. That's just how i look at it.

you look very healthy to me. you don't need to gain any weight.your just a lil' bit skinnier than i am. but if your going to gain, remember to do it the healthy way-eat lots of fish and potatoes, dont try to gain weight by pigging out on junkie foods.

Don't try to gain weight. Those pictures don't show a whole lot, but from what I saw, you look fine. Embrace your slim body now, because as you age, you WILL gain weight. Just enjoy how you are now.

hah, thanks and um no, i'm not "emo", but some people tend to call me "emo girl" jokingly. idk.. -_-

You look pretty healthy.

More like pretty and healthy.

Chances are, you'll gain some weight all throughout your teen years, so you have nothing to be concerned about.

I don't see the problem. You look normal and fine to me.

u look normal 2 me but if u really wanna gain weight u should try eat'n lots of fried food

thanks.

yeah im a guy so its not a good comparison but i have the same thing i am 5'4" and 105 lbs and cant gain wieght for shit

im in wrestling so i guess its an advantage but im strong for my size so its no compatition

but yeah your fine no weight should be added there. my ex gf had the same body style as you

Nope your not that skinny.

hey babe, dont gain any weight you look great, besides skinny girls are freakin hot. My coisons the same way, hes only 5'10 and is only like 130lbs.

You have a nice body :goodjob:

hey i fell you but dont gainweight you will gain as you get older and look back and wish you were skinny agian

doesnt it depend on how fast or how slow u eat your food? I am not exactly sure, but i hear that if u eat ur food really fast it digests quickly causing you t not gian the weight. But dont try pigging out on junk foods and such, and try eating healthy food and try slowing down the speed of which you eat your food, in that case you might digest slower and gain the weight u need

i have a fast metabolism so it's hard for me to gain weight even if i pig out

If you want to know your true metabolic rate,

Go to a lab and have a specialist put equipment with an oxygen sniffer on your mouth to measure oxygen output for several minutes or so. This will tell you your actual state of metabolism.

MedGem does something like this too.

and shiz and nothing ever really works and i guess i'm just doing something wrong..

Read paragraphs below.

so how do you gain weight?

p.s- okay yeah, i don't really look soo skinny in the pictures, but whatever. i still want to gain weight.

How? Simple.

Eat more Calories than you burn.
Find your maintenance Calorie level, log Calorie intake, and make sure intake level is consistently above maintenance level.

At only 5'2", and a light 92 lbs, you shouldn't require that many Calories to maintain your weight because you have very little body mass to haul around and very little calorie-consuming muscle mass. Also, you're a female, and females expend less energy than males do.

Instead of going to the lab as mentioned of above, a simpler way to calculate metabolism rate is with a formulata (harris benedict one is best).

So, resting metabolism for you is 1,300 Calories for 5'2", 92 lbs, Female. This is based on Harris benedict metabolic rate formula.
So, with normal activity, you shouldn't require more than 2,000 Calories a day to maintain your weight UNLESS you're pretty active.

So, to start gaining weight, try targeting 2,700 Calories a day with some emphasis on protein.

Im 5'0 and 91lbs and I get picked on about my weight and I also try to eat like a pig but eventally your weight will catch up with you in your late teens

dUDe im 15 and im skinnier than u, u dnt realy need 2 put on weight, but if u want to then just increase ur meal portions slightly. But dnt pig out!

doesnt it depend on how fast or how slow u eat your food? I am not exactly sure, but i hear that if u eat ur food really fast it digests quickly causing you t not gian the weight. But dont try pigging out on junk foods and such, and try eating healthy food and try slowing down the speed of which you eat your food, in that case you might digest slower and gain the weight u need
actually it's quite the opposite. this is because 1)when you eat really fast,your body isn't able to absorb all of the nutrients properly-thus, it is stored as fat. 2) when you eat slowly, you allow your stomach to fill up, but if you eat fast, your putting it all in your stomach at once, so that your stomach still feels empty 'cause it hasn't had time to take in the food-thus, you still feel hungry, and you eat more.
Also when you eat fast, you don't tend to stop and ask yourself if your still hungry-you just keep eating whether you need to or not.

Just eat healthy. Don't worry about your weight. I'm tiny. 5'0 and 115pounds and there is bulklier girls than me and weigh less or about the same. Unless of course they are lying.

im super skinny too people always tease and say i hav an eatin disorder i dont
i just hav fast metabolism i thought i was alone its glad to kno som1 out feels like u lik u kno u aint alone in da world

why is this so difficult... eat as many cookies, brownies, fried chicken, candy bars, pasta, french fries, soda- - and you will defnitly gain weight... but i would recomend that once you get to where you want to be-- STOP beacuse when yoy get older or go to college, you are going to want to be skinny winny again !! hope it helps

1.) Your profile says you're eighteen.
2.) It's not your metabolism's fault. I'm hypoglycemic and I'm 121 lbs and I'm 5'5".

thanks for all the commentsssss.
