Very skinny, looking for tips on weight gain.

Hi! First time posting/making and account here, but I am almost 17, 120 lbs, and 6 feet 4 inches tall. I've been trying to eat a lot and I think my stomach is starting to get bigger because I am eating a little more than usual, but I still sometimes find it hard to eat a lot. Anyways, anyone have tips for the best way to gain weight? I am kinda lost about what to do besides eating. Also, would it be possible for me to gain at least 20 lbs by the end of the year? Thanks in advance.

Drink your calories.

Find a high protein weight gainer powder you like and mix it with half & half. You can easily drink 2,000 calories a day.

It takes some time to learn how to eat enough to fill out your frame. I managed to gain over 60 pounds from 17 to 21. Going from 180 to 240.

Jesus that is a bmi of 14.6 and at that height you will look slimmer than slenderman. I suggest you go to a doctor...

Glad you brought that up. I recall asking my doctor about how I could gain weight about a year ago. I was 6’2 120lbs and he told me that I didn’t really need to worry about gaining weight and it would catch up with me eventually.

More carbs and protein don't eat on time have a extra meals gaining weight should be easy than losing for most people hope this works on you too. Lessen your activity for about 3 hrs daily would be good.

Similar boat.
I was 120lbs at 5'11 when I was 17.
Embarrassed myself when I tried a sample of a marine corps training. And decided to skyrocket from 120 to 180 in a single year.
I wouldn't advice such a radical weight gain, but gaining 20 lbs is definitely possible for you.
Eat calorie dense foods or even calorie dense shakes.
And workout!

I have family from Ukraine, it's poor and everyone is skinny over there. What works for those people to be able to gain weight is slamming jasmine rice. It's very cheap... I would force feed 300 grams of carbs a day using only jasmine rice. There is no sugar in jasmine rice.

What helped me bulk up (Over break when I had the time) is having 3 meals of 1/2 cup of Oatmeal and 4 egg whites and 3 meals of whatever usually chicken, fish or steak with rice and vegetables. IDK if this is smart but this worked pretty good for me.
