Any of you guys have tips on gaining weight? I'm not looking for advice such as eat more. I already eat a lot just to maintain my current weight. I've always been underweight, but never this much. I lost 13lbs when I had mono, so I'm nearing 20lbs under my goal weight. I'm frustrated because it seems like a losing battle. I'm drinking Pediasure and Ensure Complete along with protein when I can stomach the taste. I also eat right before bed per my doctor. Instead of eating three big meals, I eat 5-6 small ones throughout the day.
 
Perhaps try eating more carbs?

I've started putting on a lot of weight and all I do is eat constantly xD

Probably not eating as much as you think. Weigh everything out and give that a go for a week! Why do you want to put on weight anyway? Just curious

OP: Do you exercise or over-exercise regularly? That's one thing that could be effecting it.
Also, by eating 5-6 small meals you are eating healthier than the 3 large meals. Eating small portions more often will effect your metabolism speed. Maybe try upping the portions for a while, just to put a bit of weight on. I wouldn't suggest taking the junk food route; although it may aid in weight gain, it'll have negative effects on your skin and health.

I'm the exact opposite for some reason I can eat loads and never put on any weight? I do lift 20kg-25kgs boxes at work now though so I guess I can burn some of it off however that's the only excercise I ever do.
 
I don't promote vegetarianism regularly but it is great for weight loss/ staying at a healthy weight. At least it was for me, I lost quite a few pounds and I believe you lose a lot more if you're quite bigger. This isn't because the diet is unhealthy either, it's because you're eating less fat in general and vegetarians generally eat healthier.
 
The best thing I've ever done is eat vegetarian food, but with meat.
 
I couldn't do vegetarian at all. My body craves meat too much. I wouldn't be able to give up steak or pork roast. LOL.

I don't exercise at home at all because I get a good amount of exercise at work. I work on the sales floor at Target so I'm always moving/lifting and I'm on my feet all day.

Doctor suspects something may be up with my thyroid, but I haven't been back to get blood work yet.
