I'm 170cm, 55kg and I just started working out at the gym about 3 weeks ago and I see some progress. I'm happy with it but I'm not too happy with my weight. Here are my problems why it's hard for me to gain weight:
1) High metabolism - Even if I eat a lot of food, I only gain few grams in weight for few hours and then it drops back(wtf)
2) Working - Don't have time to eat(Only lunch and dinner)
So I'm seeking an advice from you guys of what should I do to gain some weight and muscles. Should I buy supplements like mass or whey?
If important, here's my workout routine - chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders, jogging on treadmill for 2km in 15~ minutes
1. Completely normal when you gain weight on scale if you put 100g meat + 100g rice + 250ml water into your stomach or you're just holding it with plastic bag, then you pee/poop/sweat, you will lose the weight you seen on scale
2. Don't have time to eat then means working to you has higher priority than eating, fix that, eat the damn food.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/371250If you have trouble performing free weight compound exercise such as bench press, start with empty bar or lighter bar, dumbell, or start with machine so you know what is chest muscle and how to use them and eventually you still want to do the compound given your body is healthy/no injuries/no physiological issue
Lastly, be consistent, and have enough sleep. Don't underestimate consistency and power of sleep
