Metabolism plays a role. I have a stoner buddy that eats 4500 calories per day and is rail thin. He's something like 105 pounds. He tries gaining weight and can't.
Hint, he doesn't eat 4500 calories per day, he eats 1 meal probably resulting in 500 calories at most.
Metabolism will only take you so far, in the end it's calories in calories out, you may luck out and have a high metabolism but it's the same rule, just more leeway.

I'll get his diet info. His trainer has him on several meals and shakes.
If he truly can't gain weight, do the GOMAD diet (gallon of whole milk a day)
I'll let him know. It's pathetic seeing him like that. He got tested and it has something to do with his digestive tract.
