Body weight

Dear sir,
I am 22 years old male and my Height is 5feet 6 inch where my weight is 49kg,which is under weight in body mass index.So my question is how can increase my body weight?

eat!!!!
no, really try to eat healthy foods of course, but maybe you need to upper your portions.
Eat more carbs, like pasta, bread, rice potatoes.

i'm not encouraging junk food, because it might increase your weight faster but it is not healthy...

I had a co-worker who was something like 225lbs and 6 foot.  All he ate was health food but yet his BMI was very low, or was it high(?).  My BMI was very good and only went bad after my heart attack. Either way, BMI is nothing but a number to make you "feel good" or bad about your size and has nothing to do with health.

You should focus on building muscle by eating more lean protein.  That will help all the way around.

I would try eating more carbs and protein. Don't eat unhealthy fattening foods just to jump up to the next weight level, as that will only hurt you in the long run. Though as long as you are eating healthily, eating enough food (not starving yourself/getting enough nutrients) and exercising, I wouldn't worry too much about the BMI calculations. There are some flaws with that system, so just try to stay healthy.
