That is lean: However, does your doctor believe you are underweight due to medical issues or is that JUST THE WAY YOU ARE? Are your parents tall and lean as well? The only healthy way I would advise you to gain weight is by starting an exercise regimen or program of calisthenics and then, moving into weight training...but nothing crazy...you'll start filling out. Foodwise...gotta eat HEALTHY..not volumninously
