A member asked:

How can i gain weight ? i am 23 years old male weight :52kg height:165cm no underlying medical problem.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need to gain: Weight. You have a normal weight for your height and purposely gaining weight will only harm your health. In a few years you will gain weight and look back fondly at this time when you could eat freely without gaining weight.
