Hey Pals! 
All through primary and high school i have always been a skinnny kid and often asked if im "anorexic" or "why are you so thin", i would often laugh it off but inside it was killing me. I did not like the way i looked when i dressed up especially in formal shirts and had to wear like a inside shirt to add some chest size and also wore jackets as i felt naked without one on.
my weight at 17 was (44 Kgs ) , i said to myself that i need to make a change so i did exactly that, i armed myself with alot of research , found out my body type and created a meal plan and workout plan. I then went up to (50 Kgs ). Sadly exams was approaching and i couldnt cope to eat alot and train, it was getting hectic so then i gave it a break.
I then when back on trying to gain weight and muscle this year in this month and now is (55kgs), by 6 months i should see some decent gains.
Now if anyone has the same problem in gaining weight, here are my tips as i know it will truly help you! , you're not alone (male or female )
by the way im a guy.
TIPS TO GAIN :
* Always have motivation and dedication to reach your dream body - YES ITS A LOT OF HARD WORK
* Eat above calorie surplus ( use a calorie calculator) - TRY FOR 6 MEALS A DAY [ Breakfast- snack- Lunch- snack- Supper-snack]
* Try to eat lean foods but you can have your cheat meals here and there - WE BURN FAT/CALORIES FAST EITHER WAY
* Spend at least 30-45 minutes max in the gym - GET IN & GET OUT ASAP
* Do compound movements - IT HELPS WITH MASS AND STRENGTH ( Bench press-Squats-Deadlifts)
When you feel like giving up, remember why you started !
Take care! and feel free to message me with any questions or post here
