I never know how much to eat, i either eat too much or not enough. I really want to gain healthy weight. What should my daily diet include. Snack & meal ideas?

If you don’t exercise, but you still diet & eat healthy, will you gain weight, or will it remain the same?
Or, will you lose weight just by dieting?

I’m a 19 year old female, only 5′2 & weigh around 108lbs. My doctor wants me to gain weight (up to 115), but I’m also on an exercise routine in order to build up my muscle strength & endurance. (I plan on attending a police academy in the near future & will need to be able to pass the physical parts of the test). All I seem to read online is “If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re not hungry, eat.” If I eat when I’m not hungry, it makes me sick. I’m taking a multi-vitamin everyday, but I don’t eat much & I’m afraid I’ll lose weight the more I exercise. Any ideas?

I’ve been trying to lose weight for the past 7 months. I did lose about 20 pounds in the first four months just dieting. Right now I am still considered a few pounds overweight, so I do still have weight to lose. I stepped up my exercise regimen two months ago & I now run 20-30 miles a week. I eat around 1200-1500 calories a day, so I’m not starving myself but I’m not overeating either. And I eat mostly healthy things. I do have coffee daily & I drink alcohol on one weekend night per week. This week I ran 32 miles & maintained my diet, & I still gained 5 pounds. I’m not pre-menstrual. How is it possible that I gained weight? I can understand a plateau (which I’ve been on for the past two months, not gaining or losing) but I don’t understand how I can possibly be gaining weight. It’s VERY frustrating. Please help me understand this!

If I am running everday about 4-6 miles a day & doing 7 miles on the bike. Also taking yoga twice a week, eating very healthy with no carbs, & going in the sauna twice a week. I am on the birth control patch & wondering if it is making me gain weight. But if i workout & eat well should i loose this weight fast?

i LOVE spaghetti…and im also on a 5000 calorie diet cuz i need to gain weight(so this should be good)…i know they say eat whole wheat/grain items for good health instead of white breads/pastas/rice but still in moderation if u are dieting so if i ate LOTS of whole wheat pasta & merinara sauce, would that put some weight on me? would it be healthy? would it just give me a fat stomach(i already look pregnant) or spread evenly?
and why do people say carbs are so bad anyways if they give u energy & keep ur body from using protein(muscle)
so are lots of complex carbs(pasta) healthy for gaining weight?
is there also a way i can gain some weight temporarily?

I’m underweight & tired a lot of the time, & I need to know how to become as healthy as possible & gain weight in the process. Any advice, tips, or personal experiences will be fine.

During my teen years I was bulimic & I stopped recently & I want to start dieting the healthy way without gaining weight. I tried working out & eating super healthy but I am gaining weight. Please help.

I’m breastfeeding my four month old daughter & am starting notice that I am fading away, to paint a picture I’m 165cm & weigh 45kg so it’s an unhealthy weight for me to be at.
I was wondering if anyone else experienced this & if they did how did they go about gaining extra weight in a healthy way?
I’ve tried just about everything I can think of, increased my red meet intake & tried eating more during the day, I currently eat 3 meals a day, usually toast for breakfast, a banana smoothie & a sandwich for lunch & generally some pasta meet & veggies for tea. I also snack throughout the day usually on fruit.
I do exercise but not at the gym I walk a lot & live on the third floor so I go up & down four flights of stairs with the pram every other day.
Is there anything extra I should be doing? Or any way I can gain weight without compromising my breast milk? I want to do it as healthily as possible.

I have been eating healthy & 5-6 small meals a day per my nutrionists instructions. I lost 10 lbs at the beginning of my pregnancy & now I have gained 2 back I’m 31 weeks tomorrow. My nutrionist & midwife have not been concerned but I ended up seeing the high risk OB today because I’m “measuring small” & all my babies have been small (5 lbs 2 oz, 6 lbs 4 oz, 7 lbs, & 5 lbs 14 oz) I have a history of miscarriage, low amniotic fluid, & IUGR. The OB really wants me to try to gain 8 pounds in the next few weeks. His suggestion was see my nutrionist & until then eat ice cream! I’m not trying to not gain weight but don’t like the idea of eating a ton of ice cream until I can get in with my nutrionist (in 2 weeks) any suggestions for high calorie good for you foods that I could add to my diet?
Thanks!
