Metabolism is a large factor in this. It seems to me you naturally burn off everything before you can use it to gain fat or work it into muscle. Feel lucky.
Me too.
My weight and size never changes, regardless how much I eat and/or exercise.
As everybody has said, different people have different metabolic rates. Height and general body shape is also a factor.
As long as you're eating healthily and consuming enough calories to sustain your energy levels throughout the day, you shouldn't worry too much.
Just don't get lost in harsh wilderness amongst people with low metabolisms and plenty of fat / muscle, because you'll probably be the first to starve, and therefore the first guy rolled up in an improvised leaf tortilla and munched down by the rest of them :P
You're not really trying. People put a lot of thought and effort into muscle building and mass. It doesn't just happen. Especially not for ectomorphs.
push-ups every couple of days isn't going to help you build very much muscle... just sayin'
Wow, you sound like me. I'm 26. I'm Asian. I'm skinny. I tried to gain weight by eating a lot. It didn't work.
You probably have a extremely fast metabolism. What kinds of foods do you eat? My father was like that. He could eat until his pants nearly exploded and yet, he was always skinny. My metabolism is also fast. I'm a vegetarian and I drink a lot of caffeine and its very hard for me to gain weight.
