It's unhealthy to eat everything you see just because you want to gain weight. A person can be skinny and have high cholesterol.
The healthier way to gain weight is to exercise (mainly lifting weights) and eat properly (specially complex carbon hydrates). By exercising you will feel hungrier (you will eat more) and your muscles will grow. Muscles weights more than fat, so you will gain weight without damaging your health or having problems like cellulite. Also don't gain a serious amount of weight in a small period of time, that can cause stretch marks.

How to gain weight with a high metabolism
-
This isn't just a case of eating lots of chocolate - there are healthy ways to gain weight and unhealthy ways. You should go see your doctor, he will be able to refer you to a nutritionist. Or maybe your local gym hasa qualified nutritionist you can talk to? Although lots of people may say they are jealous of you as they have trouble loosig weight, I know it can be as tough to feel like you're too skinny. Please take this seriously and do it the healthy way - after all, you want to look better, not worse!

Don't! As long as you eat well then you'll be the weight you're supposed to be. You're only thirteen - chances are in five years time you'll be a completely different body shape so don't make life hard for yourself by worrying about it. Enjoy being you. Judge yourself by what kind of person you are, not by what you look like.

I was very skinny growing up, too, so I know it's difficult. But many members of my family were thin in their teens, too, so I knew it was normal for me. Eat as much wholesome food as feels right while you explore your mental, emotional and spiritual growth. Keep reminding yourself that one day you'll be through this phase and on to the next. And believe me, it's better than having the opposite problem.

Go and speak to your doctor about finding a professional nutritionist. You need someone to help guide you so that you can gain the correct weight through certain foods otherwise you could seriously damage your body!

I know exactly how you feel, I was very skinny at 13. Make sure you eat healthy. I found that as soon as I took up ballet by body got stronger and even though I was thin I looked and felt better. My appetite encreased because of the exercise but I only ate healthy snacks like yogurt and fruit. Talk to your doctor to make sure that you are not allergic to any of your favorite foods, anemic or unable to absorb vitamins properly.

Just like there's no such thing as spot-reducing, there's no such thing as spot-gaining. Best way to change the shape of your legs is to do some weight training with them to add muscle. Bigger muscles in your legs will make them more shapely.
-
Try running to build up leg muscles. Runners World and Real Buzz websites have schedules for building up to 5 km, starting with walk/run and building up to running for about half an hour.

Simply scoffing burgers and chips won't help and you can gain weight healthily.You still need to eat a balanced diet containing the following: carbohydrates (bread, pasta, potatoes), protein (meat and fish), fruit and vegetables, dairy. Increasing your milk intake is a good way of getting a gulp full of calories but also good nutrients as well. The amount you will need to eat will depend on your size and how much weight you need to gain. As with losing weight, you need to take it slowly and steadily gaining a few pounds a week. Try eating small amounts regularly and increase your portion-size. Remember to keep up your exercise but the simple rule is that you need to consume more calories than you burn off.

See your doctor. Why do you need to gain weight? Is it due to illness or something more complicated such as anorexia? I was ordered to gain weight by my doctor a few years ago. I was seriously underweight for my BMI and looked terrible. I was going through a very stressful time in my life and, thanks to that, I lost my appetite. He instructed me to drink Guiness to build up my iron levels which helps the body gain weight. I also ate three meals a day, not necessarily large meals, just those packed with good fats while being healthy at the same time. Fish is a good option, as well as avocados. You may also need a boost, and sometimes the packet shakes can help gain weight, see what your pharmacy has to offer.
-
To put on weight eat more food than you usually do. Eat healthy don't stuff your belly with junk food.
-
I completely understand, I hate people calling me skinny or size 0, in my opinion its as bad as calling someone fat. Its worth going to the doctors to get a blood test to see if you have an overactive thyroid which basically means you burn off food to quickly. Also look up about the GI diet.
