I am supposed to be eating a "normal" diet along with two fortisips (300cals each- containging 12g protein each, sugar and a loooad of other nutrients) to boost my weight. The plan is to take out the drinks when i am ready to maintain but continue to eat a "normal" diet. thing is, i seem to be eating more than "normal" and would like some help altering my current mp to form a healthy maintenance plan.... thanks! xxx

BREAKFAST

  • Massive bowl of red berry flakes w ss milk
  • heaped spoon of raisins
  • crumpet with margerine OR toast with marg and honey
  • orange juice

SNACK

  • 2 crackers/ multigrain crispbreads
  • 1/2 slice ham
  • carrot

...but sometimes have this....

  • Trail mix bar/ biscuits/ nuts/ cake/ crisps

AND:

  • fortisip compact (300cals)

Lunch:

  • wholemeal roll with salad, margering, mayo and thin slice chincken/ham in

Your bmi actually says you're still underweight just no longer in the severely underweight category of 16.5 or less. The normal, healthy weight range starts at bmi 18.5
