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!

I’m six foot two & I weigh 128 pounds. I always thought I ate a normal amount of food each day but I stay very thin. Whats a way I can gain weight without being unhealthy. I’m lactose intolerant so it really seems to limit my diet.

Please give me some ideas on what I should have in my diet. Right now I go to the gym at least three times a week. I do cardio everytime i workout & i’m wondering if thats hurting me from getting stronger & gaining weight. I work my upper body once a week & my lower body also once a week.

I have a great diet where i only drink water all day & eat the healthy stuff & i am toned because i exercise alot, still i just wanted to get a bigger. People tell me i have a nice body but i’m still slim. Thing is i don’t wanna just start eating anything & everything because it can greatly ruin my already healthy diet.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hi, I am underweight & i need to gain weight. I eat a lot of bananas, exercise, but I don’t feel like gaining weight at all. I do not throw up, or do all that crap. Please help me gain weight fast.
Thanks.

my daughter needs to gain about 10-12 pounds. she is almost 17, is 5′3″ tall & weighs at most 103. she is very thin & she hates it. she did have a medical problem a few months ago, we have it under control now though. at the peak of her illness she dropped to 89 pounds. so some of the weight has come back, but she has reached a plateau. we have altered her diet, added ensure, more calories & she just cant gain. someone told me about a product called “muscle milk” i guess it helps put on pounds, but i want it to be healthy weight. is this a product anyone has heard of & is it safe?
any help you can offer would be great, the poor thing is moping around crying because she hates what she sees in the mirror. other than that she is model material, has been approached by a couple of agencies.
please help me. & please no ‘take her to mcdonalds’ replies, i want it to be healthy weight, not fatty heart clogging weight.

Hiya. I’m a 20 year old female, 5′3″ & I weigh 7 & a half stone. I’m a UK size 6-8 (usually an but I really want to put on some healthy weight as I think I am too thin.
I have always been slim, even as a child. But to be honest, I want to be curvier & also look a bit healthier too.
I don’t do a lot of exercise (bad, I know) but I don’t seem to gain weight either. So it’s not as if I’m burning it all off! Walking is my only exercise.
I have a good appetite (I eat all the good stuff, lots of meat, veg etc.) but I don’t seem to change weight.
Someone once said to me in a restaurant “how can you eat so much & be so skinny?”. I swear, everyone around me must of thought I was Bulimic or something, when I’m not.
Is there anything I can do to healthily put on some more weight? Or do you think I will be one of those girls who is just naturally slim all her life? No bitchy comments please. I do seriously want to put on weight: I especially want bigger boobs without surgery, lol.

i eat alot of veggie soups & few fruists. thats pretty much my diet. i exercise( tennis) 3 times a week. But i eat too much healthy food…will i gain weight????

I do have a nice figure & im not out of shape. Im 25. Im 5′51/2 & i weigh 128. I mainly want to gain weight in my legs & arms. Do i have to exercise in order to gain muscle weight? How to get a flat tummy(abs)? How to tone thighs, legs & arms without using any exercise equipment? “home exercise”

Increase protein intake. Eat lots of lean meat. Take away the fatty portions.

If I eat really healthy or really unhealthy, how long before I actually gain or lose that much weight?
I know it takes about 3500 extra calories one way or the other (burned or consumed) to gain or lose a pound. But assuming you ate, or dieted & worked out, enough in one day to gain or lose 1 pound (for simplicity’s sake–I know it wouldnt actually be healthy) how long would it take for your scale to note the difference? And how soon before your clothes fit better or worse, if thats a different amount of time?
