Why don't I gain weight?

Question

I'm 19 and weigh 110 pounds. All I've eaten is takeaways these last 2 months and a half and I haven't gained ANY weight? Pizza fries chicken kebab everything. I never eat healthy and I'm always hungry. What's going on?

Answer

Be happy. Some people would kill to have that kind of metabolism lol.

Answer

Some people just have a really high metabolism, which makes gaining fat hard. But if you get into weightlifting you can always put on muscle, which is honestly healthier than just trying to increase your numbers via fat. And if you're able to consume a lot like you are, you'll probably have an easier time gaining weight via muscle, since you are easily able to feed your body the calories it needs for that type of gain.

Dang, now I want fries🙁

Answer

Even though I am almost 24, I am still under 120 lbs at 5'6".
I weighed a little less than you at your age. As weird at it sounds, eating healthy and working out helped me put on more weight. I am still slim but not supper skinny/anorexic looking anymore. I don't do much cardio, just body weight exercises and lift weights.

And ignore the people that tell you to "go eat a hamburger".

Answer

When I was 19 I was 115 lbs. I am now 150 lbs and that's with some muscles and fat. Eventually when you get older you're going to want that body back and you'll have to work for it.

Answer

I was 275 at the start of my pregnancy and in the last 10 weeks I've lost about 15 pounds. Each person is different. My older sister lost 30 pounds with her first pregnancy with twins and my twin sister gained 40 with her son.

Answer

That's great news, if you have had health issues cleared, eg thyroid problem. If I were you, I'd talk about it with my GP and then be the happiest person on earth lol

Answer

Even if you aren't gaining weight try healthier proteins and full balanced meals. My bf works out a lot & was trying to gain weight and build muscle so he ate a ton of protein.

Answer

Don't worry as long as the doctors are okay with you. I didn't gain any weight until my 5th month than between month 6-7 I put on 12 pounds. The baby doesn't start gaining fat until month 6. My cousin has three kids and with each one only gained 10 total for each child.
