Hi, i am 21 years old and i am trying to gain some weight for the past few years but it's not increasing! please suggest something!

Nutrition : The simple rule is to increase the amount of calories you are consuming. You did not mention what is your height and weight and what is your goal. I would recommend to start exercise program and do some weight training while paying attention to diet . Eat frequently and a balanced diet. Studies suggest that weight training increase growth hormone testosterone to help you gain weight and muscle.
