Hey dude, so my advice to you would be to jump on a beginner strength program like 5x5 Stronglifts. It's been used to get results by millions worldwide and advocated on trp too.

For daily diet, incorporate multiple eggs and peanut butter to start off with. Your aim is to up your calories when you start training so your body can recover and grow stronger. Start doing your own research on dieting and nutrition via YouTube. All the information is out there but for now just be consistent with your program and keep it simple by adding more eggs, peanut butter and protein shakes after your workouts if you like too.

Fucking hell that is skinny. Eat anything right now, get calories into you and fucking lift. Don't fret about being weak in the gym, it won't last so long as you are consistent.

Eat eat eat, you can learn about nutrition as you go. Fucking hell order a pizza now.

Check out r/gainit, it's a sub full of skinny dudes trying to gain. What works for me is tracking calories and lifting 3x per week. Start with 15*(goal weight) per day, and keep increasing calories until you see results. I make high calorie smoothies often. The research recommends 0.8g of protein per pound of bodyweight, but lifters usually eat more. Choose a simple lifting program that focuses on a few core lifts to start.

That skinny you need a see food diet. You see food and eat it. Literally eat eveything. Yes get protein, and fat, and carbs, eat tons

At your weight I wouldn't worry so much about counting. Eat until you can't eat any longer. Good whole food sources...rice, oats, red meat, veggies, healthy fats.

Only time I was ever that skinny was when I was dealing with depression. Eat up, man! Doesn’t even matter what you eat, you gotta pack it on.

Your focus should not be on getting an "athletic" body. Your focus should be on getting huge af. You should be aiming to become a living tank, with fat and muscle.

Dietary precautions are for dudes trying to refine already decent physiques.

Dudes who weigh 56kg just need to eat as much calories and protein as they possibly can. Drink a gallon of milk a day, order a pizza with high-protein toppings whenever you are slightly peckish, doesn't fucking matter just eat.

Learn about what macros are,how many calories you need,how metabolism works. Get a serious book on nutrition,not about some china vegan diet. When you understand a thing you can do it better. If not you will chose randomly what to do,maybe from some stranger on internet.

Focus on two things. Form of all basic major muscle lifts (squat, deadlift, bent-over rows, bench press, dumbell press, overhead press, shrugs) and diet.

Once you have form down (after a few months of training you need to decide if you are lifting for strength or aesthetic. If it's aesthetic consider german volume training, if it's strength 5x5 and pyramid lifts.

Diet is simple once you understand your body. Selfhacked has an area where you can post DNA results and learn what you should eat and shouldn't eat. Then build a plan around your goals, cutting/gaining weight and how you feel.

Good luck!

I’d recommend 1.2-1.5 g of protein per pound of body weight. That means around 150 g of protein, you need some carbs too but not too much, I’d say around 75-90 g. Get in about 3500-4500 calories a day, all from healthy and natural foods. Do that along with a good workout routine, some good rest, and you will be more than on your way.
