Hang in there. It could be your
metabolism. I was very small, weighed
about the same as you and was about your
height until my junior year of high
school. I was actually nicknamed Olive
(for the skinny girl in popeye). It really
made me so very depressed because tight
jeans were the "thing" back then, too. I
am 33 years old. There were only one type
of jeans that fit me and I couldn't even
fit into the cool "Guess" jeans that were
very popular.
During my junior year, I became more of an
average size but was still considered
small. I was a size four at that time. I
finally hit 100 pounds and was happy.
I am bigger now but still have a fast
metabolism. What once was my curse is now
a blessing - in only some ways, I really
need more muscle. I don't consider myself
too skinny, yet. I have to be careful and
really watch what I eat. If I don't eat a
well-balanced diet, I will lose weight. I
weighed 100 pounds before I got pregnant
with my second child and I was too skinny.
I lost a lot of my muscle mass even before
pregnancy because I forgot to work out and
eat right.
I have to eat more protein than the
average person to keep weight on and build
and/or maintain muscle. If I just eat
carbs, the weight just comes off of me
because I have an extremely low muscle
mass as it is. I just had a baby and weigh
115 pounds, but need to start working out
again to build muscle. I
That is my advice for you. Start working
out on weights to build some muscle. My
guess is that you are thin and have little
muscle tone. Eat some healthy fats (not
that junk food stuff ) like Avocado. Eat a
lot of protein like nuts, fish and meat.
Concentrate on avoiding high processed
food and sugars. Don't work out unless you
have been getting protein. If you have
little muscle mass, you may burn more
calories and lose more weight.
Good luck. I understand. I have been
there.

i eat whatever, i dont have any limits..
i dont read nutrition things, and i dont
care
about calories. i drink regular milk, and
that doesnt
help either. and, abercrombie jeans fit
me
but they are SO expensive! i cant afford
much
of that, i only have one pair of those.
thanks for the advice though!

Did you read what I wrote?
I didn't read nutrition labels either and
was able to eat tons and still couldn't
gain weight. It's all about eating well
and eating good fats. I don't know if I
changed my diet or added more protein back
then if it would have helped. I do believe
it would have been easier gaining muscle
if I had worked out on weights and add
more protein. Perhaps it would not have
helped??
My husband was on Crew in college and has
the same problem I had. He was put on a
high calorie diet (6000 calories a day) to
avoid losing weight. He was told to eat a
lot of avocado because it is high in fat.
He also ate a lot of protein as well. So,
he had a dietitian put him on a "diet" to
help him.
You mentioned you can eat whatever...but
you didn't mention if you worked out on
weights. Remember some of us were in your
situation and understand. I do believe
that is a big problem for some people...we
tend to think that we should just gain
weight because we can eat whatever.
However, if a dietitian really evaluated
what a lot of us put in our bodies, it
isn't really good and could be a reason
why we aren't able to put on weight.
Just my two cents.
Good luck.

Well just eating whatever could very well
be hurting any plans to gain weight. It's
weird but you're going to have to put as
much effort into gaining weight as many do
with losing weight.
To sum it up, you need to try and stick to
lean cut red meats, beans, starchy
vegetables, and heavy breads(feel free to
spread something yummy on the bread too).
Be sure to eat three meals a day for
sure-- a big breakfast if you can. If you
snack then make sure its a granola bar or
something to that effect. Trail mix is
really good too. And healthy bedtime
snacks are good as long as it deosn't
bother your sleep.
Drink milks, juices, sports drinks,
milkshakes or smoothies are good too. Cut
out caffefine if you can.
Though I don't think it will be a problem,
you still need to watch to make sure you
don't gain more than a pound and a half
each week, anything more is not really
considered a healthy gain-- if you do gain
more, cut back just a little bit so you're
back on track with healthy weight gain.

You have to eat right to gain weight!
I'm really skinny, and it bothers my swim
coach so I've been gaining weight to help
with my training. The post I made up a
little is how I was pretty much told to
eat by our nutrition guy. I've only gained
a few pounds, but with swimming everyday
and whatnot its pretty good. Maybe it
could work for you-- what do you usually
eat?

I understand, I take after my dad, who is
a stick. Right now, I'm not going to weigh
more than 115 but with swimming, I really
can't drop back below 110 so I just
struggle to stay where I can.
Seafood won't help you gain weight really
so that's not a big deal. Pretty much if
you just make a conscious effort to eat
only foods that will help gain weight. I
don't know, do you watch what you eat? Or
just eat whats there. I used to eat just
whatever, and when I made the switch I had
to eat a lot of stuff I don't really like.
Oatmeal instead of captain crunch? Barf...
But I had to in order to gain weight. My
meals are huge too, always a big course
with seconds if i like it, a bowl or two
of soup, MAYBE a very small salad(big
salads are a no) and then I cram in a
banana. Pastas are wonderful.
Do you drink a lot of caffeine? Lots of
water?
