I have Hypoglycemia (Low blow sugar) as well as a very high metabolism rate, and always have had this.
Granted, i was a year-round athlete in high school and Up until half a year ago i was convinced that i couldn't gain weight (or barely gain it), and i also eat big meals.
However, until i started writing down what i have eaten for the day and going back and looking at the end of the week how many calories each day's meal contained, i had NO IDEA i was eating how little i was actually eating. I thought i was eating like a horse, when in fact i'd only eat about ~1.5k calories a day, and would easily burn through that between morning runs and afternoon workouts.
Sounds dumb, but seriously get a food log and see how much you eat a day. Since i've gotten mine i've gone from 130lbs to 165lbs and am aiming @ 180 by the end of next year.
Also, eating 6 meals a day helps alot (a meal right when you wake-up, and then another one every 2+1/2 hours) and seems hard at first, but between 1) preparing your meals the night before the day you need them and 2) getting a watch with a 2hr 30min countdown timer w/ alarm has made it extremely easy for me. Each meal isn't a huge turkey-dinner-fest, but i always include protein and carbs, and try to usually have an apple or carrot or such with 'em as well.
