here's the deal.
right now, i'm 18 years old, 6ft tall, & 135-138lbs.
about two years ago, i was 5ft8, with normal sized arms & legs &
whatnot. during the summer two years ago, i grew four inches in just
two months; a veritable growth spurt, you might say. this growth spurt
was understandably accompanied by horrendous back pain, due to the
stretching of my torso etc as i was "lengthening". now, i find that my
arms, upper body, and legs are entirely too thin, as you will see ..

NO, I AM NOT ANOREXIC. that question is all too familiar.
i'm am relatively strong, & am able to lift rather heavy weights, however my
frame does not show this in any way. i also have a very fast metabolism,
meaning i have not a millimeter of fat on me. i know that muscle weighs more
than fat, & i know that i won't be developing any fat until my mid-twenties
at the earliest. i joined a gym some time ago & went regularly, seeing no
changes in my build, but i did get stronger. i was able to lift significantly
more everytime i visited the gym.

two weeks ago, i left home for college, so now i live alone. i eat unheard
of amounts of food (though i always have). my daily diet is as follows:
breakfast: 4-egg omlette with cheese and sausage. cereal and tea aswell.
lunch: fried noodles with about half a pound of fried beef and half a pound
of fried chicken breast.
dinner: half a pound of steak (again), boiled potatoes, peas, carrots,
& a large salad.

i am currently on crutches because of a broken foot, so joining the gym
here is not yet an option, not for another ten weeks or so. i think i'm doing
something wrong in the weight-gaining game. i desperately want to reach
at least 150lbs as soon as possible. i can't stand being abnormally underweight.
any tips or information as to how i can succeed at this mission of mine
are greatly, greatly appreciated. if you read this far, i'd like to thank
you for that as well.

please help!
