r/Underweight

Can't gain weight no matter how many times I eat but when I drink Guinness around one or two Cans a week, I usually gained around two KG within two weeks. I stop drinking Guinness 5 years ago because of kidney stone. I had it removed. I lost all the weight I gain from Guinness. I was 74 kg and when I stopped drinking Guinness, I went down to 68kg, I am 6 feet tall and never gain any weight since 5 years. Does anyone know what it means, why can I gain weight from normal food? I looked too skinny and when wearing T-shirts, you can see my collar bones. Me and my wife eat almost the same food, she gained weight but I can't. The only thing we eat different is coke. She drinks too much coke and I barely drink coke .

I constantly feel tired n even black out when I suddenly get up from sofa/bed. It's been since 2 years. Am I even normal!?! (Eating a lot hasn't really worked for me.)

Hey everyone so I am 13M, 5,8 and weigh 112.8 lbs I have recently started to track my calories everyday and I eat about 3000 my tracker says I'm in about a 500 to 700 surplus. But ever since I started tracking it seems like I have started eating more food but also getting more hungry. I woke up today and I was starving feeling like I could faint. After I eat a meal I still feel hungry somehow. Like I'm full and hungry at the same time. I am not that active at least this week, but I plan on taking my running and calisthenics seriously soon. I'm just trying to figure out what is wrong. Please help.

Hi, I’m a 5’4 female and I weigh 121lbs. I get maybe 5000 steps a day? idk. I eat 800-900 cals a day, I feel physically sick if I eat more than that.

Any guesses why?

I also don’t really understand this, but I’ll eat like 700 calories and then gain weight. How is this even possible? Do I have the metabolism of a fucking alligator?

Posting this bc i kept seeing the app come up and couldnt find any real reviews. Ive used it for like 4 months now and im down 14lbs which i still kinda dont believe bc i havent been working out, just walking, 8k steps ish most days. Thats it.

The reason i signed up was meal fatigue. I was eating the same 5 things on rotation and getting bitter every time i opened the fridge. Didnt want a strict diet, didnt want to count anything, just wanted someone to tell me what to eat. Which is basically what it does.

U answer some setup qs, allergies, dislikes, cook time, etc, and it builds a week of meals around that. If u open it and the salmon thing looks gross, u swap it for smth from the alternatives list and the shopping list updates. Simple.

Food is normal. Oats, soups, stir fries, sandwiches. Portions actually fill me up which was my main worry going in. Most recipes are 30 min or less which is great bc cooking isnt my fav thing.

Biggest gripe, sometimes the spice list feels ambitious, otherwise legit

So I'm 15, and are underweight. Im about 95 lbs and 5 foot 6. Every year, my BMI gets a bit higher, eg, when I was 4 foot 9 in 6th grade, i weighed about 70 lbs, then in 7th grade, i was around 5'2 feet, and was about 76 lbs, in 8th grade i was like 84 lbs and i was around 5'4 and now, im 95 lbs and 5 foot 6 as mentioned. regardless, I've been gaining more pounds per inch, like i grew around 3 inches 1 year and gained 6 lbs in weight. i grew 2 inches another year, and gained 8 pounds. this year, i gained a little less than 2 inches in height and gained 10 lbs. I excersize maybe 2-3x a week, but aren' very athletic, eg jogging 3 miles at a 4 mph pace is tiring, but I can walk like 8 miles without feeling very tired. My bmi is around 15.3, I believe, is this too bad?

I’m 22 4”8 and only about 80lbs. And can’t seem to gain weight. Any advice would greatly be appreciated

I don’t have a goal weight just wanna be healthy

I’ve tried eating before bed

Protein shakes

Ensure

Eating more

Nothing seems to work

Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed so where did the food go ? Given you didn't poop in between the weight measurement.

Hi, I have an issue with my life right now. I'm 19 years old, 5'3 and 95 pounds. I really want to gain weight but for some reason I just never eat. I'm never really hungry and I regularly eat one meal a day. Eating to me feels like a waste of time, I just don't see the point in making myself a meal if I'm not hungry and I'm just going to have to clean it up. I've never had an ed, and I've always had a smaller body type. But I don't like looking like a child at my age... I bought cliff bars since its easy to have something that you can eat any time but each one is only 260 calories and I'm not about to eat 8 per day. If anyone has had a similar experience or knows some type of food thats easy to eat and helps gain weight or a trick or something Idk. Maybe this isn't meant for the advice sub reddit so I'm sorry if I'm breaking a rule or something.

I was told by a dietician that I’m around 60 pounds underweight. I know I need to gain some weight back but I’m scared to get “fat” again. I was 210 pounds before I started dieting and exercising. I’m a 5’6” male that’s almost 40. My question is, how do I start to not care if I get fat again? I’m miserable as hell but my brain won’t allow me to just enjoy life and food. I feel like if I keep this up, I’ll die from malnutrition or something else before I ever die of being somewhat overweight. Thanks for the advice.
