In my opinion, if you're "stuffing yourself" and not gaining weight, then you have to keep track for at least a while. From what I've read combined with life experience, most thin people don't eat as much as they think they do.
fitday.com is a fairly simple site that will track your calories, protein intake, etc. If you have time to check out the internet enough to get here, you can use it. Make yourself convenient snacks in your backpack, whatever you can do to eat more and more food. After a while, your body will respond with an increase in appetite and you'll be eating far more in regular sit-down meals than you used to.
John Berardi is a good author to check out on the nutritional side, and this forum is very encouraging.
