Ok well im 14 and weigh 105 pounds. Everyone says I need to eat more but I eat soo much..and I really do.. What can I so to gain weight and actually get it to show

If your not gaining weight then your not supposed to, your metabolism is obviously fast and there's not much you can do about it as long as your healthy and not wasting away don't worry about it.

yaa I figuered that..thx

it depends on your height. you should weight 100lbs for every 5 ft and 5lbs for every inch after that (ex: if you are 5'5" you should weight 125lbs)

eat less for a couple of days and your metabolism will channndge then eat whatever you want like peanut butter

Don't worry so much about gaining weight as gaining muscle mass. If you start a good exercise program and gain muscle, you will be gaining weight.

How to GAIN weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

BMI Classification

18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity

Check out your BMI at the bmi calculator site below to see where you stand.

"How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?"

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

"What should a minimum calorie intake be?"

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.
