Answers:
Ok, the following will assist in weight gain, you need to have 6 meals a day and increase fruit intake & dairy. I don't know what foods you like or can eat but modify, you'll get the idea. Make sure all dairy is full fat not skim.
Breakfast 8am - 2 pieces soy & linseed toast w butter & peanut butter & 1 tub of yoghurt w 5 walnuts & glass of orange juice
Snack 10.30am - banana smoothie w honey
Lunch 1pm - soy & linseed sandwhich w 2 eggs/50g meat & salad & swiss cheese
Snack 3.30pm - nut type bar w seaseme seeds, honey & nuts
Dinner 6pm - 1 cup pasta/rice/potatoes side with 200g meat
Snack 8pm - 2 scoops of ice cream
Good luck!

Eat some meat, have a chocolate shake once in a while
Some people are just naturally skinny, but if you really want to gain weight & you're not hungry most of the time, drink soda instead of water, & don't excersize as much, it might sound unhealthy but that's a way to gain weight, also Jamba Juice, or frappaccinos are just as fattening as a whole meal, so if you get thirsty there's a choice!
pizza, chips, soda, candy, donuts STOP EXCERCISING!just for a little while.
Are you a boy or girl? for a girl i think the weight is low but okay, for a guy try Pizza, burgers, soda, junk food ya know
Don't worry. I am 5'4" and 14 years old. I only weigh 97 lbs. If you want more meat on you, eat more meat. Talk to your doctor if you want advice specific to you.
eat a little more
Dont worry, as long as your stomach is ok with you, dont upset it by eating more than you can handle. I am 5'9 and 110 lbs. and I am not a bit concerned.
"I want to play hockey, like I did in middle school, but now that I'm in high school, the other guys have bulked up and I haven't. What can I do?"
"All of my friends have broad shoulders and look like they lift weights. No matter what I do, I just look scrawny. What can I do?"
"It's not like I want to gain a lot of weight, but I'd like to look like I have some curves, like the girls I see on TV. What can I do?"
A lot of teens think that they're too skinny, and wonder if they should do something about it. But before you start any kind of plan to gain weight, there's an important question to answer: Why?
Why Do People Want to Gain Weight?
Before you do anything to try to gain weight, it's a good idea to look at your reasons for wanting to do so. Some of the reasons people give for wanting to gain weight are:
I'm worried that there's something wrong with me. If you want to gain weight because you think you have a medical problem, talk to your doctor. Although certain health conditions can cause a person to be underweight, most of them have symptoms other than skinniness, like stomach pain or diarrhea. So it's likely that if some kind of medical problem is making you skinny, you probably wouldn't feel well.
I'm worried because all of my friends have filled out and I haven't. Many guys and girls are really skinny until they start to go through puberty. The changes that come with puberty include weight gain, and, in guys, broader shoulders and increased muscle mass.
Because everyone is on a different schedule, some of your friends may have started to fill out when they were as young as 8 (if they are girls) or 10 (if they are boys). But for some normal kids, puberty may not start until 12 for girls or 14 for guys. And even if you start puberty then, it may take 3 or 4 years for you to fully develop and gain all of the weight and muscle mass you will have as an adult.
Some people experience what's called delayed puberty. This usually can be explained simply as being a "late bloomer" (you may find that some relatives of yours developed late, too). Most teens who experience delayed puberty don't need to do anything; they'll eventually develop normally - and that includes gaining weight and muscle. If you are concerned about delayed puberty, though, talk to your doctor.
Our genes play an important role in determining our body type. Adult bodies come in all different shapes and sizes, and some people stay lean their entire lives, no matter what they do.
I've always wanted to play a certain sport - now I don't know if I can. Lots of people come to love a sport in grade school or middle school - and then find themselves on the bench when their teammates develop faster. If you've always envisioned yourself playing football, it can be tough when your body doesn't seem to want to measure up. You may need to wait until your body goes through puberty before you can play football on the varsity squad.
Another option to consider is switching your ambitions to another sport. If it seems that your body type is long and lean and you were the fastest defensive player on your middle school football team, maybe track and field is for you. Many adults find that the sports they love the most are those that fit their body types the best.
I just hate the way I look! Developing can be tough enough without the pressure to be perfect. Your body changes (or doesn't change), your friends' bodies change (or don't), and you all spend a lot of time noticing. It's easy to judge both yourself and others based on appearances. It can feel like life is some kind of beauty contest.
Your body is your own, and as frustrating as it may seem to begin with, there are certain things you can't speed up or change. But there is one thing you can do to help: Work to keep your body healthy so that you can grow and develop properly. Self-esteem can play a part here, too. People who learn to love their bodies and accept them for what they are carry themselves well and project a type of self-confidence that helps them look attractive.
If you're having trouble with your body image, talk about how you feel with someone you like and trust who's been through it - a parent, doctor, counselor, coach, or teacher.
It's the Growth, Not the Gain
No matter what your reason is for wanting to gain weight, here's a simple fact: The majority of teens have no reason - medical or otherwise - to try to gain weight. An effort like this will at best simply not work and at worst increase your body fat, putting you at risk for health problems.
So focus on growing strong, not gaining weight. Keeping your body healthy and fit so that it grows well is an important part of your job as a teen. Here are some things you can do to help this happen:
Make nutrition your mission. Your friends who want to slim down are eating more salads and fruit. Here's a surprise: So should you. You can do more for your body by eating a variety of healthier foods instead of trying to pack on body fat by forcing yourself to eat a lot of unhealthy high-fat, high-sugar foods. Chances are, high-fat foods won't help you gain weight anyway. Eating a variety of healthy foods, making time for regular meals and snacks, and eating only until you are full will give your body its best chance to stay healthy as it gets the fuel and nutrients it needs.
Good nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. Here are some simple tips:
Eat lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
Eat breakfast every day.
Eat regular snacks.
Eat a variety of foods. That can sometimes include less nutritious ones, like chips and soda. But try to limit them so you don't crowd out healthier food and drinks.
Eating well at this point in your life is important for lots of reasons. It's a key part of normal growth and development. It's also good to learn good habits now - they'll become second nature, which will help you stay healthy and fit without even thinking about it.
Keep on moving. Another way to keep your body healthy is to incorporate regular exercise. This can simply be a matter of walking to school, playing Frisbee with your friends, or helping out with some household chores. Or you might choose to work out at a gym or with a sports team. A good rule of thumb for exercise amounts during the teen years: Try to get 30 to 60 minutes of activity every day (like walking to school or around the mall) and get more vigorous activity (like playing soccer or skating) for at 20 minutes or more at least three times a week.
Strength training, when done safely, is a healthy way to exercise, but it won't necessarily bulk you up. Guys especially get more muscular during puberty, but puberty is no guarantee that you'll turn into a cover model for Muscle & Fitness in a couple of years - some people just don't have the kind of body type for this to happen.
If you've hit puberty, the right amount of weight training will help your muscles become stronger and have more endurance. And, once a person's reached puberty, proper weight training can help him or her bulk up a bit, if that's the goal. Be sure to work with a certified trainer, who can show you how to do it without injuring yourself. It can be easy to overdo strength training, especially during the teenage years when there's more risk of injuring bones that haven't finished growing yet.
Get the skinny on supplements. Thinking about drinking something from a can or taking a pill to turn you buff overnight? Guess again. Supplements or pills that make promises like this are at best a waste of money and at worst potentially harmful to your health.
The best way to get the fuel you need to build muscle is by eating well. Before you take any kind of supplement at all - even if it's just a vitamin pill - you should talk to your doctor.
Sleep your way to stunning. Sleep is an important component of normal growth and development. If you get enough, you'll have the energy to fuel your growth. Your body is at work while it sleeps - oxygen moves to the brain, growth hormones are released, and your bones keep on developing, even while you're resting.
Focus on feeling good. It can help to know that your body is likely to change in the months and years ahead. Few of us look at 25 like we did at 15. But, it's also important to realize that feeling good about yourself can make you more attractive to others, too.
Peoples Choice Ideal Weight: 138 lbs. This shows the average weight that other people of your Age, Height, Weight and Gender would describe as their ideal weight.
However, since you are 17 by medical standards you are still a child. Which means that Medical evidence suggests that all body weights within this range -121 lbs-are reasonably equally healthy (for people of your height). Outside this range, health risks may occur.

Your current Body Mass Index is 18.4 kg/m2
Eat more protein after each resistance training session and before you go to bed at night. You should have one gram of protein per each pound of lean muscle each day. Weight goes on a lot quicker with when you add muscle but your metalbolism will increase so add calories too!
if yur a girl.. thats a great weight!! if yur a guy heres some tips
most guys dont "fill out" till they're about 20-22 my bro was 6'0 and like 140 he looked anorexic.. but now he looks great.. it may just take time
WEIGHT lifting.
add protein to your diet 1gm protein for every pound of body weight is the usual ratio. dont use more youll just get constipated ha ha..
If you are NOT hungry a lot just drink the pritein smoothies. my fave:
1 Scoop Vanilla 'Whey Gourmet"
2 c 1% milk
1/2 banana
handfull berries
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
its very healthy and LOADED with nutrients!
do NOT follow that guys inst of drinking pop and exercising less. you will just rott your insides and gain fat and not muscle.. then you'll be the tall fat kid and not the nice ripped kid he he
go to a gym and talk to a personal trainer get him/her to set you up with a program.. there is no age limit or when you are allowed to start pounding weights (little hurcules for example)
stay strong! you may just have to "grow into yourself"
Better check with a Dr on how to safely gain weight. You don't want to get into bad eating habits.
Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
You will eventually fill out weight wise.
Notice older guys. They were once skinny.
Eat healthy, protien, vegtables, fruit and dairy.
Cut out the sugar and artifical colors
You can also lift weights to build muscle and bulk. You will need extra protien for this.

its an ideal weight for ur age. Have a lot of milk n soyabine. If u r non - veg, go for chicken. Don't forget to do regular exercises n jogging. Its a must.
get married, your zest for life will be over and you will put on weight rather quickly. you will have to work to keep it off. first comes the belly, then your face will puff out , then pretty soon , you will look like every other middle aged guy, if you have a face that has any definition, say bye to that. it will become round and look like a basketball. your cheeks will droop and when you get older, and your appetite slows down, you will lose all that fat on your face and you will have defined folds of skin all over your face. (that's if you don't die of a heart attack first.) so with all this in mind, don't get in too big a hurry to put on weight, the longer you can keep it off, the healthier you will be in the long run. I was skinny as hell at your age, but I still managed to find a wife , have kids, and all the booshyt that goes with it, so don't worry so much about how you look, there is someone out there with a bigger complex than yours that will be glad to have you. and no I'm not skinny any more, not fat either, going hungry now is good practice for you for later in life.
