Exactly, and I’m borderline overweight (right at the top end of normal BMI).
Or something people say something like “screw you and your genetics,” when I genuinely weigh myself periodically and make adjustments in diet and exercise as needed to stay in the normal range.
Well there definitely is a level of skinniness that is unhealthy. Just like it can be hard for some to lose weight it can be hard for others to gain it.
I’ve been struggling with this lately. I lose weight really easy but it’s difficult to gain it back. I lost a bunch after surgery a few months ago putting me at the edge of underweight. Now I can’t seem to get back to a healthy weight
I had a similar, less severe problem when I started cycling to work (10 miles each way). I was losing weight, and I was getting borderline underweight.
My problem is that if I’m working on something, I’ll just not eat, and that’s really bad if I’m burning an extra 1-2k calories (and I’d end up really low on energy on the ride home). So I scheduled regular snacks, many of them with higher carbohydrate levels than I would normally eat (yogurt + granola, crackers + cheese, etc), and I would keep high protein snacks at my desk (nuts and whatnot). I would make sure to hit my targets for protein and fat, and then go ham with tasty snacks.
When I reached my target weight, I dropped the snacks.
If that doesn’t help, then I recommend what my friend w/ thyroid issues did: drink nutrition shakes (basically adult “formula”). He had a limited appetite, so he would have to get as many calories in as possible when he was hungry, and calorie/nutrient-dense shakes worked because he would just not finish larger meals.
You’ll never be the “lost a lot of weight”-guy, without being fat first. Think about it.

Nobody get credited for staying lean all their life. Quite the opposite. I’ve heard all my youth about how I’m so skinny and should eat more.

Just put more cheese or chocolate on everything you eat.
Works for me.
So…
