pembisco: As a medical student, let try and help in a way i can, thers a test called BMI (Body Mass Index) this will determine weda u need to add weight or not
BMI= weight(kg) divide by square root of your height (m) and from your data,
weight=55kg
height= 5.6m.....square root of 5.6 =2.4 appxm
BMI = 55 divide by 2.4 = 22.9
Note. Normal of BMI is between the range of 19-24
25-29 is over-weight
30 and above is considered as obesity
so my broda..your weight is proportional to your heigh and you dont need to add more weight. its normal, forget abt those calling you names

This is pure thrash! U r a disgrace to Medical School. That's essentially if u r one. It's better to keep quiet than open ur mouth to display how f00lish u are.
BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kg by the square of your height in m.
Not square root as indicated.
And if u wanna use a height, u have to use realistic ones. It's not possible for anyone to b 5.6m tall. Thats like 560cm. What planet are u from?
From my calculation of d op's BMI, it's 55/(1.7*1.7) = 19.03

@op, go siddon. U r definitely within a healthy weight range. Anybody that advises you to gain weight must b your enemy.

claremont: Your current Body Mass Index (BMI), calculated using the data you provided, is 19.6. The WHO guidelines for a healthy BMI range for a man of your age is 17-22, which means that you are at the healthy weight range for your age and sex. Relax!

Could u pls tell us how u arrived at ur value mr genius?
Moreover, healthy BMI range is within the range18.5 - 24.9

there is nothing any one can do for you. You are just 18. you need not worry about this. just eat when you feel like it and by the time you get to 27 or 30, you will be pleading to be skinny again.

But do not eat too much because if you do, you will be gaining weight in your mid area or stomach instead achieving what you want. believe me no one will recognize you in your late twenties. just be patient. you will get what you want as the year progresses.

Just talking out of experience. Good luck

It takes good food and nice gym to gain weight. Avoid sleeping late or keeping wake too long. It is health wise to sleep at least 7hrs daily. Another thing to watch is intake of rash & spirit like substances like gin, rum, coffee, kin ka na ( hot drinks), cigarettes. These substances aid in burning fats and also make one look older. I suggest you drink more whole milk at least 170grms daily(1 tin), drink alot of water and eat fruits. Vegetables will be of immense aid aswell. I also know a brainwave device that can aid in building your body and make you look younger, but for violation rules cant post it here. If you will need it, kindly contact me :itstorekeeper@gmail.com. Thank you.

Food is not the solution jare, just try doing at least 100 push ups every day and you will see the difference in two weeks.

Like my sis would say, "if food dey always make person fat, I for don dey guiness book of record tete"

Am believing you a guy so just do push ups or weight lifting, it's as simple as that, make sure to have lots of rest too, you would thank me later when seeing the result.

this broda needs a help from fellow nl. if u are lighter in weight and don't see it as a problem, good for you. @op, first question, is ur father or any relative bigger than you at this age? secondly have u bn to d hospital to check urself? worms can b funny, eating up all d energy you might have taken in, leaving notin for u. so ensure u are healthy before you think of adding weight.

Your metabolism is very high and hence inhibiting ithe food you ingest from making you to add weight. I am in your shoes but I have discovered the secret. When I was your age I even weighed lesser. People made mockery of me. Here's what to do;
1. EAT, EAT, EAT- since you have a high metabolism, don't eat less food. If you take 3 squeal meals a day, increase it to 5 and also eat in between like snacks. This works perfectly, you will store a lot of calories.
2 EXercise- make sure you exercise to build your muscles and also to keep fit.
3. SLEEP and REST- Do not worry and think too much and above all you must relax.
4. Check your current weight and apply from tip 1 to 3, then check your weight again after 2 weeks, there must be an increase in weight. Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Moreover, healthy BMI range is within the range18.5 - 24.9

Height... 5' 6'' = 168cm (NOT 170cm)

Weight... 55kg (squared)

Input these figures into this BMI calculator ... http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/av.htm

The OP's BMI is 19.6 kg/m(squared)

The most current guidelines from experts suggest that an optimal BMI range is between 17 and 22.
