Need help building muscle
Hi, i'm 17yrs old and i'm very skinny i weight 110lbs and i do eat alot but i got a fast metabolism. Well I've tried to build some muscle and i need help with the diet part, becuz i know u need a good diet to build muscle but i'm clueless and wat i shud do there and I do exercices at home. Which is basic push-ups/sit-ups 3x rep10 and dumbbell 3x 10rep. I would really appreciate it if u all cud help me out here thxz.
Post your meals, and times, and we'll go from there.
Also on't conclude a Fast Metabolism, you might have a slow one.
Evidence suggest people like you and I, (Ectomorphs), have slow Metabolisms, which would mean we use our nutrients better.
Fatter people like Mesomorphs, and Endomorphs, could have Faster ones, as they need the nutrition, to help them pump blood round their bodies better, as they could have things like narrower Arteries, Veins, and Bloodvessels, especially if those Blood pathways are less flexible, possibly due to Salt intake, or contain small fatty deposits, or other issues.
They may have faster metabolisms, if their bodies store calories, before they can be properly used, so then less benefit is derived from anything good they eat, even if they eat 50-100% more calories than most Ectomorphs.
Anyway, like I said, give us a breakdown of your current meals, and times, and we can go from there.

(I'd go for the Toast and Eggs. Pancakes often use regular flour, and probably aren't that great anyway. If you want Cheese, try Low Fat, to cut the bad Fat content down)
Around 10am-11am:

with a glass of water (I'd have something else in the Sandwhich with more Protein, like a bit of Turkey, or Lean Ham for example.)
12pm-1pm:
I have chicken(fried or baked)
with potato salad or fried rice
with yogurt(sometimes) and glass of water (Baked Chicken, and if you have Rice have Boiled Rice not Fried, and maybe a Yoghurt if desired.)
4pm-5pm:

like anything chips,popcorn
or a granola bar, with glass of water (Go for Granola.)
7pm:
Most of the time it's similar to what i had for lunch (See what I said about Lunch, although I'd go for something like a Vegetable here as opposed to Rice.)
