Errr eating lots of little meals is actually a method that people use to LOSE weight, it doesn't work but yeah it's definitely not a weight gain plan. The only reason it would work is because it's easier to eat more that way, but he's already said he eats lots so it's not like he's thin as a result of starving.

That said, as far as I recall you're like 8 feet tall or something so all that RDA nonsense needs to be upped a bit anyway just to attribute for that - eating the same amount as is recommended for someone of my size isn't gonna do the trick for you

Haven't really read the replies. But Jake I'm like you with the metabollism rate. I'm 16 and weight under 7 stone so my BMI is classed as underweight. I eat like a pig, if I could I would at like 10 packets of crisps a day, I would each chips and eggs every second.

Anyway, agreeing with jen, my sister started putting on weight when she exercised, but is now balancing out.

Also, what i dounf jake, eating junk food and then just being on a pc/laptop/mac doesn't do anything, it made me put on 1 pound if that, maybe if you don't expect weight to come on then it may?

Also, you may start gaining it when you are older.

i second the 5-6 meals that he ^ said. little but often.

Wouldn't that be just the muscle making you way more?

Still need to be careful what you eat when you have high metabolism because once you lose it (if you lose it) then you're gonna blow up like a wild snorlax in seconds

Wild Snorlax doesn't blow up that's Electrode noob

So many skinny people say "I eat loads but I never put on any weight" but in actual fact you just think you are eating loads but aren't. Try spending a day eating as you normally would but count the calories of everything you eat, you might be shocked (well at least I was).
