Okay So I Just Need Some Basic Info

I'm 102 pounds, 5'5", 15 and I really don't feel that sexy. 


My family has this god-awful gene that gives us skinny legs and big bellies.


Well, I obviously don't have a big belly but I've still got the skinny legs.  D:  I feel like a clown.


I want to weigh 110.  What amount of calories should I aim for?  How should I increase them?  How much exercise should I get?

Thanks guys.  :D

If you want to gain a little weight there's a great list at the top of the message board on the types of foods to choose ... picked for being energy-dense but low-bulk so that you can add relatively small amounts, not feel overstuffed, but get more calories.

2500 calories is usually recommended as the target to aim for in order for a lightly active adult female to gain a steady 1lb or slightly less per week.   I'd recommend using the CC food log as a tool to plan what you're going to eat in advance.  It's easier that way than getting to the end of the day and finding out you're 400 cals short!  Eating more frequently can help, for example.  Adding extra snacks in between your main meals.   Getting a bigger breakfast.  At the same time you can convert the extra energy to muscle if you do some strengthening exercise.  Light cardio is advisable but strenuous exercise should be avoided for obvious reasons.  Best of luck

Thank you very much.  :D

Aw, you should feel sexy no matter what body you're in!

But yeah, gi-jane gave pretty good advice.

YOU'RE 15!! What are you trying to look sexy for?  Silly  

Hi 

I have the skinny leg gene as well and I hate it!!  I found the only way to make them bigger is with weight training!  It's actually started working along with eating about 2700 each day.
