I Do Eat Quite A Lot But Somehow I Never Gain Any Weight
Hello, I am a 15 year old female and i only weigh 6 stone. I do eat quite a lot but somehow i never gain any weight. I try to eat healthily but i do still eat quite a lot of high calorie foods and snack a lot. My school prom is coming up soon and i dont want to look really skinny i would like to gain weight for it. Is there any way i can gain weight quickly and easily? Please help!

Hi,
Each individual is different, and has different genetic make-up. Hence, it depends on your genetic make-up, if your parents are skinny, then you you would also be skinny. Get yourself thoroughly evaluated by a physician to rule out any worm infestation/ thyroid problems. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and maintain good dietary habits.
