Unhealthy weight
I wonder what I could do to gain weight. I'm a 15 years old girl who's underweight. I eat normally and I do eat junk food and lots of sugars, I dont skip any meals, I love food but I have zero fat on my body. I'm very bony, I've even been asked by teachers if I was annorexic. Could there be something wrong about my system or my alimentation that would cause my body to burn all fat and sugars? I've read it could be an allergy to gluten. Is that true? What foods and brands can i eat to get healthy

Hello,
Firstly don't worry so much.
There could be many many reasons for not gaining weight like it may be hereditary, you may not be eating the right sort of food that you require. It could also be due to some underlying medical issue. You should visit a qualified nutritionist/dietitian to get yourself analysed and also understand what you need to do accordingly.
Till then eat fresh and healthy. Reduce the junks and unecesary sugars.Excercise
Warm regards,
Nutritionist Aditi Prabhu
