While most would love my problem of not being able to gain weight It has become an issue with me, I cant gain weight no matter what I eat or try and I am told that I am too skinny even though my doctor says that I am at a good weight for my height.

    How much are you eating?

    Do you think you're too thin? Who is telling you that you are?

    Gaining weight is only achieved by eating consistently in a calorific excess. how much are you eating? do you weigh your food.

    there is a simple way to gain weight, measure/weigh everything you eat and record it on MFP. set your self a calorie goal it doesn't really matter what that is to start, for ease say 2500 calories and eat this much every day for 4 weeks. weigh yourself regular. if you're not gaining weight add an extra 200 calories and repeat. keep this cycle up until you start gaining weight.

    add in weight training so that the extra weight is added as muscle rather then fat.
