I am new and I have the opposite problem of most women my age. I am a 30 year old, 5'4", 102lb female who currently takes in 3000-3500 calories on a daily basis without an excersise program and I can't gain weight. In fact I had to go through extensive medical testing last fall due to the fact that I had lost nine lbs out of no where and was down to 94 lbs. I fight illness constantly and don't have enough energy after maintaining my body weight to get through the day. I am trying excersise to help with the energy, however I already get tired of eating what I have to to maintain without exerting additional energy. Any bright ideas on most helpful foods or ways to increase calorie intake without having to eat more than the 5 times a day that I do? I have tried the protien shakes, but I haven't found one yet that I can stomach. Help if you can. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Also, if you are another woman with this problem please contact me, I could really use to know that I am not alone, and to have someone to talk to about this that won't hate me for my metabolism. No one seems to understand it isn't as fun as they fantasize.

wow gurl... how bout we switch? Im sorry for your illness... i wonder if you ate what i eat... it would work. My best advice would be to eat late at night!!! we're not supposed to do that... a candy bar before you brush your teefers? My son is also underweight, but he is five. its hard to fatten him up also.. but i do wish you the best of luck!!!! Aloha, im1jomama

Prior to starting to do this the healthy way my standard day consisted of an entire box (yes the big one, not the single serving) of the little hostess powdered sugar donuts for breakfast, a bag of m & m s around 10:00, Carl's Jr for lunch, a regular healthy dinner (1 meat, 1 starch, 1 veg) then 2 bowls of rocky road ice cream before bed. That finally got me back from the 94 to the 102 after 8 months of this.
