Is it normal that i can't gain weight

People always say I'm so lucky to be skinny but it's really annoying me. I'm male 5'9 18 120 pounds. I have been eating a lot to try to gain weight. I literally eat 5000 calories everyday and can't gain a pound. How do I gain weight?

    You should gain muscle weight, not fat weight! Start lifting weights and eat organic meat (not fast food!). I know that can get expensive, but organic hamburger isn't too expensive. and eat a good variety of different colored vegetables and fruits. Avoid wheat, corn/GMOs. You'll be smokin hot in less than a month if you do these things. I was, and I'm 38

    Yeah like what everybody else is saying, talk to a doctor.

    Also I heard that if you eat bananas they are a good healthy weight gain food. I guess because of the carbs in them.

    Do you have any conditions? That or you have a good metabolism. First, I think you should go to a doctor to rule out any possible conditions. Once that is over with go to a dietician to figure out a good eating plan.

    I wish I had your problems. Trade? (Nah, I'm just kidding, I'm not that fat.) But yeah, maybe it's a health problem, you should consult your doctor about this.

    Do you suffer from any symptoms of diabetes? Or you could have a great metabolism.
