Eat more.

It's incredibly doubtful your metabolism is so substantially high that it precludes you from gaining weight. You're just not eating enough.

I'm trying to eat a lot more but when I do put weight on it burns off so fast..

The trick is, you have to keep eating more. As soon as you go back to your old habits, you go back to your old weight. It works whether you are trying to gain or lose.

Have to agree. Especially if you are bulking. By adding muscle mass, your bmr will likely increase which makes it necessary to continue eating more than before the bulk in order to maintain.
Always recalculate your calories every 5lbs you gain.

You don't "try" to eat more. You're either doing it or your not. Guaranteed if you're not gaining weight, it's because you're not eating enough to support it.
I used to get guys in their teens and 20's telling me all the time "I eat alot" and when I actually sit down with them and get an HONEST daily intake, it's 2000 or less. Try eating 4000 calories in a day, everyday.

Personally, when I used to track my eating a few years ago (110LBS was my max weight) I was eating around 3,000-4,000 calories a day. All I did was eat non-stop for 2 years (ish) and my exercise didn't come close to burning much.

I've gone to the doctors many times and I've been told that what I'm doing should work, and that because it's not I should be taking a bunch of vitamins and nutritional shakes.

So going out on a limb here, but if I base that you're say 5'6 in height and weighed 110lbs max and are 19, your BMR would be 1460. Even if you did little exercise and daily work (which you didn't mention) and I spot you 1000 calories for it, that would be 2460 calories. And you stated you ate 3,000-4,000 calories a day and didn't gain?
Sorry, but based on math.........................I'm not buying it. I've had this same conversation with others your age and they didn't come close to even 2,000 calories many times.

then you are not in a constant caloric surplus.

fast metabolisms are a myth.
