I hope this is a question to gain a couple pounds to be able to squeeze into a certain weight class or to meet a limit. There's weight gain powders/drinks at certain stores if you need extreme results but I would just say to increase the portions of your meals until you've reached the weight that you wish to be at.

Dear Fatty and Skinny,\n\nLet's start with metabolic rate. A person's basal metabolism represents the minimum energy expended to keep a resting, awake, body alive. The energy used in basal metabolism depends primarily on lean body mass. Other factors that influence your basal metabolism include: the amount of body surface (the greater the area, the greater the heat loss); gender (males average higher energy rates because of greater lean body mass); body temperature; thyroid hormone levels (higher levels increase metabolic rate); aspects of nervous system activity; age (metabolic rate falls as we age); nutritional state (eating less slows metabolic rate); pregnancy (metabolic rate increases); caffeine and tobacco use (metabolic rate increases).\n\nAbout being underweight, sometimes being too thin requires medical intervention. A physician can rule out hormonal imbalances, depression, and other hidden diseases such as anorexia or bulimia. Risks associated with being too skinny include complications in surgery and slow recovery after illnesses.\n\nYou seem to be on the right track in terms of what you can do yourself to gain weight. The reason people suggest weight lifting is because it has a tendency to add muscle mass--pure weight, more so than other sports activities, which add some muscle at the same time as one is also burning off many calories. As far as food choices, try gradually increasing your consumption of energy-dense foods, especially those higher in vegetable fats. Italian cheeses, nuts, and granola are good kcalorie sources with low saturated fat content (read the label to make sure the product is high in mostly unsaturated fat). Dried fruit and bananas provide other high kcalorie fruit choices. If eaten at the end of a meal, they don't cause early satiety. Try replacing foods such as diet sodas with good energy sources, such as fruit juice.

You might want to try a more balanced diet.  If you do a lot of cardio, you might want to switch to weights and go on weight gainer.  It sounds like you might have a fast metabolism and it can be hard to gain weight.

First of all, having an extremely overactive metabolism is a double-edged sword. If you are trying to put on solid muscle and gain weight it can be extremely frustrating. This was also my problem for years until I began training correctly and eating correctly in conjunction with each other. I went on to win 3 state championships in weight lifting, win 5 bodybuilding titles, and became a trainer. The natural tendency when trying to put on weight, size and muscle is to train harder and more often like a madman. In actuality, you may need to train hard, but less. Keep your core muscle groups or strength exercises( bench, military press, squats, leg press, curls) to heavy weight but low reps. On each I would say no more than 1 med. warm up to 10, then 4 sets of 5 reps. The more reps you do the more aerobic it becomes, so don't over train! Secondly, don't try to overeat your way to weight gain. It is going to take you about 2000 EXTRA calories for 1 lb. of weight gain. If you are eating only 3 meals a day and trying to gorge yourself you will most likely be too full , miserable, and your body won't absorb most of it. You will be better served by eating 6 smaller meals about every 3 to 4 hours. You may want to suppliment your calories with a protein/weightgain shake product. The biggest key to gaining quality weight is your training and diet. Your local gym should be able to set you up with a quality CERTIFIED personal trainer. You would benefit tremendously in even one or two sessions. Everybody is different and it takes some figuring out, so don't be ambarrassed to ask for professional help. Once you do start putting on weight and making good gains, you'll be thankful for your fast metabolism, good luck, hope it helped, and keep asking questions.

Presumably you don't want to be fat, but bigger.  So I recommend lifting as heavy weights as you can, do the protien thing, and build up your muscle.  Now also keep in mind that this takes a long time.... so I guess if you want to gain wait quick...\n\nDrink Starbuck\neat McDonalds\nwatch too much tv

Have a slim fast shake WITH your meals\n\nThere are also weight gain products that you can get from stores like GNC that work well.  Each shake has about 1000-2000 calories

Please don't worry about your weight so much.  You're still growing, and a crash diet could ruin your metabolism.  Just try to drink 8 glasses of water a day, never skip a healthy breakfast, and cut back to one or no pops a day.  Try to go for a walk with family after dinner!

Increase metabolism by eating several smaller meals per day.  The idea is to never let yourself get hungry.  One way to accomplish this would be to eat three healthy nutritious meals and eat healthy nutritious snacks in between those meals keeping yourself satisfied throughout the day. \n\nIt will be very important that the snacks are healthy, and that the meal sizes are reduced to compensate for the additional calories the snacks provide to prevent weight gain.\nTry this link for more info:

Wish I had your metabolism LOL.  I just look at food and gain weight.  Ok well best suggestion is to go to a health food store and talk to someone there they should be able to recommend something or like a vitamin health store is what I meant to say.

I was always underweight when I was younger as well. When I was in my early twenties my metabolism completely changed and I automatically morphed into a normal weight. The best advice I can give you as far as gaining weight is to ask your doctor. Your doctor can give you advice as to how to gain weight in a way that wont cause any health problems.

Discipline.  I weighed 160 after my 2nd daughter and now I'm 110.  I got on  the treadmill everyday.  No food after 7pm.  Dont starve yourself, it will slow your metabolism.

Dont TRY to get in 30 min a day, DO get in 30 min a day.  No matter what you do for a living/daily, you ALWAYS have 30 min somewhere in your day.  Even if it means getting up 30 min early in the morning.  \n\nTo increase your metabolism, first make sure it's working all the time.  Have 8 full oz of water first thing when you wake up.  That will make you hungry, so make sure you have good protein in your breakfast (I have eggs, you can also do nuts).  Make sure you eat every 2-4 hours and make sure it's something small.  An apple, banana, yogurt, etc.  Stick with fresh fruits and veggies for your snacks if you can.  Make certain youre drinking 64 oz of water per day because you feel hungry less often and cut calories easily that way.  I fill two 32 oz water bottles at the beginning of the day to make sure I drink it all.  It's easy to lose track of a glass here and there.  \n\nGood luck!

a slow metabolism doesnt help you gain muscle faster...it just makes you burn fat slower.

Milk, fresh cow milk is the best. Try 2 glass of them everyday. Don't just eat a lot, especially those hi calorie junk food, they are dangerous. Eat healthy, just add few more, high protein ones, meat, eggs. And exercise, hard, those extra pounds need to go to the right, toned parts. For fast gain, you can try those mass-gain supplements, but I don't recommend that. And btw, being 5'3" and 40kg IS NOT TO SKINNY, I think it's cute and sexy. May I get some pics :p
