Hey, guys. I'm about 168-170cm and 50kg. I think I've been so for the past 4-5 years. I won't say I'm a big eater, but I think eat pretty frequently (though I'm one of those "ectomorphs" who doesn't have an appetite most of the time) but I'm still finding it hard to gain weight.

Only recently did I decide to do something about it, eating 4-5 meals a day, watching the nutritions, taking weight gain supplements and I'm not sure whether it's water weight but according to the scale, I've gained 1.5-2kgs in a week.

I eat 2 hardboiled eggs for breakfast along with a serving of cereal, I usually take two drumsticks and two egg whites with rice for lunch, I usually have another meal before dinner (something like cereal, nuts, seeds, corn- whatever high calorie and protein food I can find, anyway), have a moderate dinner much like my lunch, probably something from McD's for supper and I drink 2 self-blended milshakes a day (blended with protein powder, banana, milk, ice cream and soy protein). I also drink almost a litre of milk a day and more or less the same for water.

Also, I'm a naturally athletic person... I play futsal 2-3 times a week, though I haven't really begun on the weightlifting yet. Oh, and also... I smoke one pack a day, drink every weekend and i'm abit of an insomniac. But basically, the reason I haven't really started lifting weights is because of my skinny and slightly bony frame.

My question here is... is it a good idea to begin weightlifting when you're still all skin and bones? Or is it better to gain mass first?

Am I eating right? I know ectomorphs have high meta, so should I raise my calorie intake even higher?

Any input from you guys would be appreciated, thanks.
