I've increased my intensity of workouts and increased my mileage from around 30 to 40 miles. I've been doing strength workouts but I'm losing so much body mass and gaining muscle at the same time I think you could say. I'm starting to feel pain in my shins and knees. I just don't want it too hurt anymore. I'm 5'6 male and 115 lbs.
Just eat more man and don't take running so serious.

Shhhhh! You'll have XFit_Guy_the_Real_One_1 back here in a flash ridiculing runners.
For breakfast, go to Cinnabon and get four Cinnabons. Sit down with a half gallon of whole milk and binge watch Netflix.
For lunch get a Double Whopper, Large fries and coke.
For Dinner you're going to want to hit up a buffet and eat for a few hours.
Then come home and have a chocolate cake and another half gallon of whole milk.
well thanks for no help guys
Perhaps try increasing your caloric intake by having more calorie dense food in your diet. Things like nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans), bananas, beans, fluffy breads, granola, trail mix, avocados, dates, and peanut butter are things you could incorporate into your diet for more calories without it feeling like too much to eat. You could also try gluten free alternatives, as they tend to have more calories as well.
Another thing to take notice is that carbs are good pre workout and protein for post workout. Carbs fuel you for the energy you'll burn while running and protein helps rebuild muscle after a workout. It's most beneficial to have a little protein as soon as possible after a workout for the best results. Don't go to sleep with lingering hunger as well.
If you want to be able to see progress and feel better, you'll have to change your lifestyle. Just simply "eating more" may help you gain weight, but it wont necessarily help you feel better. You have to find a balance with what you put in your body if you really want to feel strong, energized, and healthy.
Hope this helped a bit!
You clearly are not eating enough then. 40 mpw should not have you losing a bunch of weight. What do you typically eat in a day?
The answer is you have to eat more and I agree on eating more calorie dense foods. But be okay with eating some non healthy foods too. When I was trying to gain weight I ate a huge bowl of ice cream every night for snack. also you could increase your portion sizes as well.
Ice cream is the only solution. Ice cream and donuts. And bacon. Ice cream donuts and bacon. And pizza. And tacos. Tacos always help.
EAT MORE YOU MORAN!
I'm 5'6.5" and weigh 111 or so and I feel normal. Is that really a bad weight? My pediatrician never seemed to be at all concerned during checkups.
