How much should I eat?
I never thought I would actually one day be trying to gain weight but here I am.
Alright, I am 100 pounds, 5'4.75" and I am wondering how many calories I should be eating to gain if i am also working out 3-4 days a week (some cardio but mostly strength stuff) for an hour and a half but otherwise I am pretty sedentary.
I want to get my bmi to about 18.

all these questions come into play when finding out ones needs to gain
