    Considering crossfit can burn a lot of calories, you likely aren't eating enough. Calculate your maintenance calories and eat about 500 calories above that. Keep in mind it's an estimate, so you may need to add more if you still aren't gaining at that intake.

    do you know how much you actually eat each day, do you track your calories? gaining weight is simple, eat in a calorific surplus consistently , e.g. if you need to eat 2500 to maintain your weight then eat 2700-3000 calories every day

    Consider eating about a hour or less before bed and load up on carbs. Try eating bigger meals while eating less often to reduce your metabolism and try to limit most water intake to only during meals. Hope I could help

    No.

    OP: Drop the crossfit. Just go lift. You'll burn less calories and make greater lean mass gains.
