GAINING WEIGHT

If your BMI is in the healthy range, and you are trying to gain weight but cannot, it is possible your body’s normal state is where you are now and that it will be hard to move up. It might be possible if you push up your calorie intake, but remember that a top priority is eating a healthy, balanced diet.

My suggestion would be to set up an appointment with a registered dietitian. Such a person can help discuss your weight goals at the same time advising you on how to maximize the nutrition quality of your diet. You can find a dietitian in the yellow pages in your area.

Before you go to the dietitian, you might want to try the following:

Increase your protien intake. It sounds like your metabolism is real high, so gaining muscle is your best bet to actually gain some pounds. There are tons of protein shakes and bars and things that can help you build muscle with exercise. So maybe you can keep working out and just increase your levels of protein for the muscle.

Good luck!
