Well, it seems normal for me ever since I've been bodybuilding. But it should (hopefully) get better as you go along and your capacity for food increases.

I don't like to blow smoke...so I'm not gonna pretend it's all that healthy but it is the price you have to pay if you want maximum results. Eating every two hours if you possibly can, which is common advice, is actually one of the keys to increasing your appetite.

Judging by what you look like right now, you are gonna be able to get away with a lot. So pay attention to all this information you are getting on how to eat. I, too, can't stress enough that most of you calories should be from real food.

However, for slim guys (I have weighed as low as 105, and have a resting weight of around 125) I advocate weight gain shakes as a way of getting those calories you need. Those times when you feel you just can't eat anymore but you still feel you haven't done enough your gonna be able to take in more liquid in the form of a shake.

Something with whey and maybe some slow proteins and probably maltodextrin as a carb. Now malto is high GI, I'm not saying go hog wild. The protein and maybe some olive oil or something thrown in should help also.

This will help increase your appetite over time, but I am talking only about those times when you just can't meat you caloric needs, NEVER as a meal replacer. Again, this should help increase your appetite, and you can eat even more real food as time goes on.

And of course, don't forget what 0311 said about some high GI carbs in your shake after your workouts.
