I am a 16 year old male and I cant gain any weight or muscle.
I have a naturally small build, but no matter how much I eat and work out I can't gain any muscle.
I currently weigh 55 kilograms and am about 5 "8, I eat roughly 3000 calories a day. Alot of my friends are bigger then I am and they tell me I need to gain fat before I can gain muscle, is this true?
Suggestions for a cheap workouts / supplements / diet, or anything that might work please?

Why would you want to gain fat?Originally Posted by EnnDubb
If you're not gaining on 3k kcal, move less, or eat more.
Sleep at least 8h, take a multi, and lift heavy.

If you want to get big, and quick you need to eat like a champ... 3000 calories is only maintenance and another 1000 calories per day if you want to gain 5 lbs/ month. I am not much into ripping therefore i started out a program 3 months ago, I started drinking 1.5L of buffalo milk a day and have gained 7 kgs ( 15 lbs ).I took no other supplements/ protein shakes. Now i am around 160. Yeah I did gain some fat but don't freak out if your waist grows by 1/2 an inch if you manage to gain 1 inch on the chest and shoulders.Now i am looking forward to being 190 lbs by 9 months and then i'll start ripping.
Good luck.

Hey I would recommend starting strength or Strong-lifts...
My starting weight was 56kg (at 5'6.5) and now I'm 63-64kg. I can deadlift a lot more now that I did Stronglifts. Squats are also great bro
