Is This Healthy For Weight Gain?
I have been struggling with anorexia & I need to gain weight. I burn about 500 calories on the treadmill daily, because my nutritionist is still allowing me to exercise for my own sanity. Here is what I eat on a daily basis:
Before workout:
6 slices lean chicken (50 cals), cheese spread (35 cals), protein bar (200 cals)
After workout/breakfast:
Nature Valley Yogurt granola bar (140 cals)
Lunch:
Wrap (lettuce, lowfat tortilla, 6 slices lean chicken, mustard, lite mayo) (140 cals)
1 string cheese (60 cals)
1 apple ( 100 cals)
Dinner:
1 Healthy Choice cafe steamers (270 cals)
Snack after dinner:
1 apple (100 cals)
6 slices turkey (50 cals)
Is this healthy? I don’t want to gain weight from fat, just from muscle.

You should be lifting weights, not running, you’re losing weight that way. Eat more meat for God’s sake, & not that turkey! You also need grains, you’re def not eating right.
