Yeah I have the same problem :P I need to gain the pounds fast! In saying that,however, I don't want to go out and buy these "bulk on" products....unless some one with knowledge in this field recommends it.

Eat more...? Mass gainers are just whey with sugar
-

Hey guys,
So i'm about 6 ft. and weigh ~55kg which is pretty small. Now I eat quite a bit and exercise moderately, and yet I remain underweight.
Any suggestions? :D
Try to eat over maintenance. You definately need to bump your calorie surplus between 500-700, lets say if your basal metabolic rate is 3300 for someone being that tall and thin. You may be needing to eat between 3800-4000 calories to gain weight.
Some others might say 250 calories to a 500 bump up.
Fat gains, water gains, and glycogen gains will occur. I assume your priority is to build muscle mass, correct? that will come after it, but please be sure to implement a strength or an resistance program to build muscles mass. Sitting on your ass all day eating over your basal metabolic rate and not doing strength training (free weights) will only give you fat gains, and will not give you muscle gains.

But I don't trust you :P Tell us what you eat in a typical day.

I'm kinda in a similar situation here. It doesn't matter if I eat the house out of food for a month, or hardly have anything, I don't put on any weight either (or lose it). It's dam annoying. I'm around the same weight but a little bit shorter than the OP. Haven't found a solution for it yet either.

KFC IS HEALTHY FOR YOU. I NEVER GAIN WEIGHT.

I was like you and I also 'thought' I ate a lot. But I didn't. I could eat way more. At first it's a struggle, but then when you start eating more you get used to it and then eventually you find that you're always hungry if you don't eat your new, increased amount. I used to be 60kg, 1.78 but gained 10kg within about 2 months.

You probably have a fast metabolism, like myself.
You should probably invest in some protein supplements.
Although, I'm not as light as you, I still would say that eating a hell of a lot of "unhealthy" food (McDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jack etc.) on a regular basis won't help, I've tried...
-
yeah, maybe i'll eat more than I already do. And get a protein supplement. I do weight training every now and then, but I guess it would be better if i did it consistently.
-
eat right before you go to bed, im sure you'll put on a few pounds :)

Actually spend a week counting your calories eaten and burnt. See how much weight you gain/lose. If you stay steady, eat 500 calories more each day, primarily from protein whilst doing weights exercises. Running won't help you gain weight at all.
Most people that say they can't gain weight don't count their calories, so their results tend to make a lot more sense when they count.
Your base metabolic rate defs wont be 3300, that's what someone that is extremely physically active or extremely heavy (or a combination) would burn.
Foods for high protein include fatty fish, chicken (keep the fat), and caloric dense foods (pasta, pizza, breads, rice, potatoes, fruit juices).
Just make sure you exceed your calorie output everyday and you'll gain weight generally.
Having a fast metabolism is very annoying if you want to get big/gain weight, but it can definitely be done. A lot of people think they eat a lot because they pig out on Pizza on the weekend or something like that, but in reality they simply don't eat enough.
KFC would be fine if it wasn't so high in saturated fats. Enwiabe managed to lose weight whilst eating it multiple times a week (ketogenic diet, KFC is very low carb). Their grilled chicken options are by far one of the best meals on the fast food market for people who hit the gym.

Once your older your metabolism will slow down ;)

That's good to know ;D

Please be careful with your bulk, a few guys might underestimate their caloric expenditure, and some might go over board to dirty bulking.
This will make them prone to gaining more fat. Yeah, Kenoy is right about once you get older your metabolism will
significantly slow down when most guys are around 21 or more.
Lean dry muscle mass can be putted between 5kg-8kg in a year, depending on your genetics. Its best to go on a clean/slow bulk (like i am now),
fat, glycogen, and water gains will occur very minimal through that phase. I got a mate that plays footy he putted on 3kg of pure muscle mass in 7 months
and his bodyfat percentage has shrunk by two percent (from 14% to 12%), a few people might be lucky enough to run away from fat gains. Guys, that are
around our age can lean out from their clean bulking phase, so theirs something great to look on to do a 'clean bulk' as oppose to doing a 'dirty bulk':).

Eat more oats

Eat plenty or carbs.

Man, I'm having the same problem as you except that I'm way shorter then you.. this year I'm just gonna eat healthy food (fruits, vegetables, chicken, steak, tuna, salmon.etc) like an animal and then gonna start to bulking up and gaining muscle straight after Year 12 finishes.. chicken and tuna ftw brah! Good luck.

You could always go and live with my Nonna for a few weeks...
Actually no, one christmas lunch will do the trick
I think it was 5 courses, each the size of a whole meal...
I'm still full..
