I'm a petite girl with a bird's frame, and both of my doctors say that I am healthy, but I'd like to gain some weight anyway. I get tired of the "eat more" comments I get from people and I would also like to have a slightly higher BMI.

I exercise but I have been afraid of exercising too much weight off. I eat good portions and I eat healthy (lots of veggies, fruits, and lean meat, no dessert, no junk food), so any 'eat whatever you want' tips will be thrown out.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not horribly underweight or anything, I just lose weight real easily and would like to know a way to quickly gain a few pounds back.

I'd suggest nut products like peanut butter. They have a lot of protein in them a high amount of healthy fat. Dark chocolate has antioxidants in it so it's good for you but it also has that sugar element in it; It's not as high as milk chocolate but it's there.

Peanut butter cookies would do you well, they're not extremely sugary and they're quite good with a dallop of dark chocolate fudge. It takes them months to go bad so if you make a large batch you don't have to worry about eating them fast.
I can give you a good recipe for them if you like. The fat that they put on is a sort of healthy fat and that's easy to burn so if you feel like you've had to much it'll be a snap for you to get rid of. Depending on the person they can be addicting so I will warn you about that.

If you're allergic to peanuts then I'd say just go for the chocolate. It can be quite good for you and little portions will satisfy cravings.

I'm pretty jealous of you for wanting to gain weight. My weight isn't the size of a whale but I'm not petite either. I don't want to be skinny and small I'd just like to look nice in they clothes I have.

You shouldn't be jealous. I have a health condition that superspeeds my metabolism sometimes which can be quite dangerous.

I love peanuts; & I would love the recipe for the cookies if you've got it. biggrin
