Well, I'm a student in high school and I'm very skinny. I've been eating a lot more but I'm not really gaining a lot of weight. Why is that?
This is how much I usually eat in a day
Breakfast :toast and milk or a bowl of cereal
Snack : Granola bar and juice box
Lunch : Juice box and 1 bread sandwich
Between lunch and dinner : Sandwich with some kind of meat (2 breads) and a drink.
Dinner : a little more than what I eat between lunch and dinner.
Any tips?

OK, 3 things:
- firstly that's not a lot of food, especially the most critical meal of the day, breakfast
slobs (sh*t loads of bread and starch - bet you didn't know where that came from? - ok, it probably didn't), aka: middle aged older guys, busy with business and no exercise, put on weight because they eat in the lunch and evening, as a social event, instead of breakfast, when they're in a hurry, and tend to eat way too much because they have stopped growing, and running a slower metabolism
If you want to know what a lot of food is, go check out some stories, biographies, autobiographies of what young guys who go into the marines or special forces eat. We're talking plate loads of food, three, four, five times a day, because they've put their bodies onto emergency grow.
You're not even close: that's more like a slimmers or weight watchers diet.
- second, as a student at high school, you're like the marine, just now quite so demanding - you're still in your body's natural high / growth metabolism state. As you reach 25, 30, it will all slow down and then you'll be posting on diet and weight loss, perhaps not:
- third, you're already essentially 'complete' and for 20 years, basically, you, your mom, your school have told nature to get on with building you based on the resources available - I had two friends at school, skinny as you could imagine, bright as hell, but skinny: when we went to their home, I found out why: where I was used to steak, ham sandwiches, cake, fruit, coke (lot's of cola), our lunch with them was one slice of ham, I mean, like a deli-slice (I'm uk, so I'm translating slightly) of ham, not even a sandwich filling, and a couple of boiled potatoes, marble sized.
They'd put all their money into ensuring the kids got the best private education they could, and couldn't spare the extra money to feed them like a couple of strapping (big) young guys. Nature said, I'll do what I can, but you're not giving me much to work with.
Go try and re-paint the Mona Lisa - see how far you get. You are, essentially, complete, at least genetically, and in your bone structure, barring some bizarre, serious intervention, and no, please do yourself a favour and spare the experimental science: learn to be who you are for a few years before you resort to emergency measures.
- fourth, maybe you ate 'normally', but nature has all kinds of blueprints: think gorilla vs chimpanzee: would a gorilla make a good tree-living, branch hopping - oh sh******t - the branch collapsed. Or a chimpanzee a good ground / pack / hunter - hey fella pick on someone your own size, no that's ok, my head just got in the way of your fist.
Whatever the universe has in store for you, it sounds like Mr Creosote isn't one of them. (Arcane UK reference - clue, monty python).
So that's the why, roughly speaking.
Good news is, having just watched the Facebook film, you're in line to be a billionaire - who ever saw a 300lb geek?
Or you can be a very cool actor, or just cool
Your call.
