But they will basically just say "Eat more, and you will put on weight".

actually... the last time I talked to my doctor (would have been a few years ago now) she said that won't help, my metabolism is too high.

How old are you? I teetered between average & underweight in my teenage years and growing up I was never big in the upper body area. Suddenly I hit 20, and I woke up 15 pounds heavier, and most of it was on my shoulders & chest. I didn't change my eating habits or work out any more than I had perviously, I guess my metabolism must have changed.
If you are young, you may be in store for the same thing. Beware though, I hit 25 & started developing a beer belly (ironic how the beer belly covers the 'six pack'). Now, I have to do sit ups to keep my belly in check. (not to mention less beer and no more eating after 8 or 9 pm unless its veggies or fruit)
So keep that in mind, skinny guys don't always stay so skinny. [/b][/quote]
sit-ups don't kill the beer belly, you need aerobic exercise I hear. I've had this baby fat in my stomach since I was 12 and I've never been able to get rid of it.
It's frustrating because I too, like Maritime Q-Scout, feel like girls would rather go out with Jabba the Hutt than me (well, actually happened once) because I'm relatively thin and my shoulder's aren't broad per se but that's a bone structure problem I think.
I've been trying to gain weight as well but this whole time I'm afraid of adding to this fat in my stomach and not accomplishing anything really. I also have a super-fast metabolism and very small stomach capacity.
I wish I could say I was still in my teenage years but I'm 22.
