Not Just eating alot; or just everything fatty,which would add on not just pounds but more health issuses. First off you should check with your GP or FD,about this matter who may suggest or recommend a dietician, so you can add on healthy weight. Over eating can lead to many unhealthy conditions.
Your BMI plays a major factor . Anything over 25 total bmi is considerd obese. besides.. you can tone, and add more muscle mass. Thats why its best too consult your GP or FD.

To make sure you are gaining weight healthily, check with a nutritionist. I am underweight as well, due to several thyroid and blood conditions, with a BMI of approx. 17. I used to be around 16.5, but raised it by increasing my daily caloric intake. 3500 kcal=1 lb. So, perhaps eat 3500 more kcal per week/2 weeks?

I'm only 11 on the BMI scale. All my friends say I' skiny but I'm not. Or at least I don't feel skiny.

First I think you should have a physical, to find out if your weight problem is due to a clinical condition, or if it's your due to you genes, your natural constitution. Eating a lot is not always a good idea, eating healthy food on the other hand is, and eating as much as your body needs, stuffing yourself won't do you any good.

I have a BMI of 15.8, am 19 years old and have not gained or lost more than 1 or 2 kilograms for 5 years but I feel hungry every 2-3h. My weight is currently 42kgs could this because of a genetic abnormality which results in a fast metabolism?
