Your friend dosen't really need to gain weight, she's pretty healthy at that weight. But if she REALLY wants to, just make sure she knows to eat at all meals and let her body do the work. She dosen't need to worry, cause sh'es not TOO skinny, and if people are saying things about her being too skinny, tell them she most likely has a quick metabolism (your body digests food more quickly, and more easily).

Actually, that's not underweight at all. I'm 5"2 and I weigh 86 pounds, and I'm considered quite healthy. Your friend does not need to gain weight at all. Even if she tried, she wouldn't be able to. If what you're saying is true and she really does eat a lot, then she simply has a very fast metabolism, and she probably will grow out of it. She might not; but there are always exceptions, and you can't base life on exceptions.
If her metabolism is becoming a serious problem and she becomes severely underweight, then there are special pills she can take to slow down her metabolism. But she should not do that unless the doctor says so.

actually shs not too skinny for her weight and hieght. its pretty normal. you can go here and fill out her weight and height and seee if she is perfect or so on. for here to be a healthy weight at her height she should weigh from 90-95 pounds. i hope i helped. Just tell her to eat alot of carbs and calories and not excersize. believe me she will see a change.

I personally don't think she's underweight. When I was 4'10 I weighed 86 pounds (I'm a female and I was 12 at the time).
However, if she needs to gain weight, she should eat plenty of WHOLE carbs such as in breads, noodles, fruits as opposed to cookies, chips, other junk foods.
Hope this helps

My guess is that your friend won't gain a lot of weight by eating - some people are just like that. Working out and gaining muscle will help her to gain weight, and, muscle weighs more than fat.
Before she dives into serious working out though, checking with her doctor or a nutritionist wouldn't hurt at all. They can help her devise a plan that combines working out to build muscle with eating foods that will sustain her though her workout and help to develope the muscles.
Good luck to her!

Your friend should see a doctor or nutritionist. A professional would be able to set up a diet for her that would help her gain weight in a healthy way. Eating more foods that are high in fat is not only unhealthy, but probably won't work in helping her gain weight.
