I’ve had the same problem. Try getting I think about 1/2 your body weight in grams of protein. So if you were 200 lbs. get 100 grams of protein. Also, eat 6 meals a day instead of 3.

This probably isn’t what you want to hear, but I think it just has a lot to do with genetics and the body maturation process. I was always skinny, even though I was an athlete and worked out a fair amount. I didn’t get decent pecs or shoulders and not a lot of upper body strength. Then in college, I had a pretty big growth spurt. And all of a sudden I saw real results when I worked out. The good news is, all those guys that can get big when they’re younger have weight problems when they get older. So, fear not. You’ll have a much better body than all those guys later in life. It’s like the fact that most female models were unattractively super skinny when they were younger. Then when they get older, they fill out and have beautiful bodies while all the voluptuous girls in high school get fat. So, I’m sure you can gain some weight and muscle mass by heavy workouts and high caloric intake, but Dude, it just might be your metabolism right now and the fact that your body is going to develop later than some of the guys your age. I couldn’t be a linebacker in high school. Just how it was. Now I’m an adult, and I’m lucky to be able to stay thin when other guys struggle. I’ll bet you’ll be the same. Good luck

Buy some Whey, use it after every single workout you do, no matter what it consists of. Eat more. Exercise more. Eat carbs BEFORE you exercise during the day, and stick to high protein and low fat/carb but light dinners (grilled chicken + salad). Eat more fiber. Chew your food. Eat Potatoes/pasta/rice. Weight train in 4 sets of 7 reps.DO NOT weight train more than 3 days in a week. Eat more. Don’t go looking for a program, if you’re looking to "make muscle building easier" in general. Its mostly about how you weight train and what you eat, rather than what your weight training is.

It’s easier to gain muscle by having more protein. If you eat a lot of meat and you work out, you will show results as compared to a vegeterian that works out. He may be skinnier (in some cases).
