so today i decided i need to put weight on as i can feel my bones  my body aches and feels sore .ive so far had a bowl of alpen which im struggling to eat it tastes like cardboard but i need to do this not just for me but for my daughter as i dont want her left with out a mommy in her life.

so any help on foods or ways to gain weight fast would be great thanks

Hi Angel.  Have you gotten rid of the boyfriend yet?  How had the boyfriend influenced your eating habits?  How tall are you?  How much do you weigh?

CC can be a very supportive environment but sometimes additional help is needed--in real life.  Without knowing more about your size, weight and how you got to be so thin it would be hard to actually point you in the right direction.

A great way to start gaining weight back is to start eating a balanced diet.  Have you used any of the tools available to find out your BMI or get your target calories?

Also, the following info came from this website.  

1. Weight Gain Diet Foods 101

I mentioned earlier that eating the right foods and eating enough of them is the key to weight gain. Foods such as fast food, chocolates and other junk food like chips won’t do you any good. Any weight gain from such foods would do your health more harm than good.

Cultivate a habit of eating more than your daily energy and calorie needs. First, find out what is your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) which equates your daily calorie need/count to maintain your weight at its current level. Next, start planning your weekly dietary plans to increase your weekly intake by 3500 calories to achieve a weight gain of 1-2 pounds within a week. This translates to an additional 500 calories in your daily calorie intake.

Eat more protein-based food stuff such as beef and chicken. Drink more milk for it is a rich source of protein. Balance your meals with vegetables and nuts as well. Eat 5 or 6 small meals rather than 3 big meals to balance the calorie intake.
