A weird question...

Most people want to lose weight, but I was wondering if anyone shares my problem. I'm 105 lbs & 5'8". I NEED to gain weight, but I just can't. I used to be able to eat TONS of food (3 full plates per meal) and wouldn't permanently gain any weight. I would weigh 110 at the end of the day, but when I woke up I was back at 103. Seems impossible, but its true. I wonder if my ADD caused my unusually high metabolism rate (1600 resting metabolism rate) but thats besides the point.

Has anyone else had this problem before? How did you gain weight? Any pointers would be appreciated. I would like healthy tips though. Some of my DOCTORS said to eat Fast food like McDonalds, but dude, that shits not healthy!! I want to improve myself, not kill myself w/ unhealthy food.

Peace & Love

I have this problem. What I do is eat lots of carbs and protein (preferably together), and work out with weights. This way, you'll gain muscle instead of fat. Also, try drinking an Ensure or 2 during the day to add some calories to your diet.

A doc told you to eat mcdonalds..get a new doc!

 

increase fat -- www.fitday.com has a great calculater thingy that will tell you how much of what to eat to get to your goal.​

​

Also if you drink a slim fast with your meal ,,,, most likely your meal is about 300 calories ,,,and slim fast is about 300 so you would actually get 600 calories per meal! ​

Don't eat mcdonalds, but eat lots of eggs and breads. Go live with an italian family for a while. lots of pasta.

 

My youngest sister has the same problem....turns out she has an over active thyroid. You might wanna check into it, because it can mess you up, especially if you ever wanna have kids.

 

how does it mess you up to have kids? my mom had problems having kids & shes smaller than i am.

You might have an overactive thyroid. You should go to the doctor and get some tests run. I had this problem when I was in my early teens...but now I have the opposite problem-I can't get rid of the weight
