Psychoj, Thanks for the advice. I hope you are on your way to recovery with eating and the knee problem as well and will be back out there running in the future. That is definitely one of my goals!!! I do eat very very healthy but have now been adding some sweets/junk food at the end of the day which is where I am getting my fats, sat fats, and sugars from..in attempts to enjoy some foods that I havent had in so long, and in attempts to put on some lbs. I thought around 1500-1600 cal was enough for me to gain but based on several posts, it looks like I need to be up into 2000. Well, I will continue to check in on here.... |

Tuffstuff, Thanks for the advice. The food intake I posted yesterday is an example of my intake for trying to gain. I am a very clean, healthy eater so at the end of the day adding in some of the unclean, junk food is my way of attempting to gain some weight. I didnt realize I need to be up in the 2000's. My body fat it very very very low (due to distance running and workouts..although like I said I am no longer running) and when I plug my numbers into a bmr or rmr formula its showing my body at 102lbs only requires around 1100 to 1200 to maintain...so I have added calories to that. I will continue to increase my cal intake though. Thank you! |

I just joined these forums today. I am 24 yrs old, 5'5" and currently weigh 102lbs. I am trying to gain some weight since I no longer have my period (exercise induced amennhorea). I was a distance runner, which brought me to this point.. of weighing 102lbs. I have not run since April as I am trying to focus on gaining some weight. My goal is 115. I think this sounds reasonable?? Look forward to talking with others on here! |
