skinny body type male - #28746

Vikram

I am really confused about my health lately. I'm a skinny body type male, and honestly, I've always been naturally slim. People often comment on how I could eat anything and not gain weight, but now I'm starting to wonder if this skinny body type male thing is actually a problem? Like, I’m 6 foot and weigh around 145 pounds, but I feel like I'm always hungry and just can't seem to pack on some muscle or even extra weight. I tried lifting weights and eating more protein but my body just doesn’t seem to respond! I had some blood tests done and everything came back normal, which is good I guess but why is it that other guys can bulk up and I can't? There's this pressure to be more muscular, especially in my friend group and online, and it feels like I'm just stuck in this skinny body type male image I don't want. Is there any secret to how a skinny body type male can actually gain weight healthily and build muscle? Maybe it's about my metabolism or maybe there's something I should be eating? Someone told me I might need to see a nutritionist — what do you all think?
