A member asked:

I am 16 years old boy my height is 6 feet and weight is 55 kgs i want to gain weight?

Do not worry: If you are otherwise healthy, being tall and skinny is good. In a few years you will gain weight and then you will look back, fondly, at these years, when you could eat what you wanted and not gain weight.
