Gaining weight even while eating healthy and working out

I've been working out 6 days a week and eating healthy for the most part for the past month and instead of losing weight I've gained. I started out at 170 and now im up to 182 and im only 16 years old and 5'9. I took measurements but im not losing...

inches either. could there be something wrong with me or what?? I need help on why this is happening. any suggestions on what I should do??

*sigh*

When you exercise regularly... you GAIN MUSCLE. Muscle weighs more than fat.

So stop gauging your progress by the scale. If you want to lose INCHES, then you need to focus your routine on exercise that promotes lean muscle and flexibility.

Ignoring serious problems, like a tumor on your pituitary gland, your weight gain can be attributed to one of two things:
1) If you're involved in any sort of weight training, you're gaining muscle mass. Lean, strong muscle is denser than weaker muscle and fat, so although you are gaining weight, you are still in better shape. Measure your BMI instead of simply your weight and you will get a better picture of your overall fitness. Or...

2) Despite the fact that you are eating healthy, you are consuming more calories than you are burning. There is no secret to gaining or losing weight. If you are consuming more calories than you are using, you will gain weight. If you use more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. Someone who eats 10,000 calories worth of cucumber soup, bee pollen, and carrot juice will gain weight just as surely as someone who eats 10,000 calories worth of Lays, Sara Lee, and Pizza Hut.

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

If you need conversion info, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and 2.54 cm = 1 inch (12 inches = 1 foot)

How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

What should a minimum calorie intake be?

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.
