gaining weight so I can get pregnant and have a healthy baby
i'm 18/f, weighing about 106 pounds. i'm 5'6" and have a BMI of 17.1. needless to say, i'm underweight. i want to have a child someday soon, my boyfriend and i are moving in together at the end of the summer. (we'll be done with highschool and we are both employed, if you're wondering) i'm beginning to think my lack of body fat and low nutrition may foil my chances to carry a baby. i took a test and i'm fertile enough, i just don't believe my body is strong enough.
the problem with this is, i eat EVERYTHING. what i want, when i want. no matter the calories, it doesn't affect my weight. does anyone know a good way to gain a few extra pounds? i wouldn't know what else to do except eat, but that doesn't do anything. thanks

HIGH protein diet. Eat lots of meats, especially red meats. 5 meals a day and snack such as peanut butter, nuts, etc.

My brother has the exact same problem! He eats everything and never gains a pound. He too is underweight. I think the best thing to do is for a couple of weeks get a "balanced diet plan" which basically means eat breakfast, lunch and then dinner and try eat it around about the same time everyday. Eating anything and everything with high calories in will unbelievably do nothing. Make fairly healthy meals for a couple of weeks and see if you gain any pounds if you do then keep it up and you'll see that it'll become easier and easier as the weeks go by. But if there's still no change then it would be best to see a nutritionist to get a meal plan developed and they'll try and figure out exactly why your not putting anything on. Hope this helps!xx

well eating whatever you want whenever you want will most likely MAKE you unhealthy. Eat 4 meals a day with your meats and veggies and fruit and you should be fine! if your that worried about it than you can always ask a nutritionist. :)
