Hi everyone,
I'll try to keep it brief - I work out quite intensely and although I'm gaining muscle...my weight has gone down a couple of pounds. It's not intentional - but I have a high metabolism and exercise almost daily. I'll say it right now: I will NOT change my exercise routine, as I enjoy it very much and keeps me grounded.
I'm looking for healthy ways to gain weight in the nutrition perspective. I currently eat 5-6 times a day, about 1700-1800 calories a day. I am 5'7 and weigh about 112 lbs.
I eat clean almost 100% of the time (fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, healthy fats, low-fat dairy, eggs, tuna, and water) I don't eat any meat, unless you count tuna.
I have a protein shake after my workouts, and it's quite high calorie due to extra things I add in there...so I count it as a meal.
ANY suggestions on how to gain weight in a healthy way are greatly appreciated. I don't want to get any skinnier!
