I need to gain weight. Do weight gain shakes really help? Not muscle but healthy body weight.?

Question

im 5' 3" and 107 lbs. I want to be about 115-120 by april..is that possible. People say eat and eat and it will help, but I'm a small girl, my stomach can only hold so much~

Answer 1

If a person weighs 200 lbs they need to take in 2000 Cal's just to maintain their weight. anything more they will gain, anything less they will loss. One shake contains around 2000 Cal's BUT, your body can not proses that many Cal's at one time. they will probably pass right through you, plus they will make you fell bloated a sluggish. If you take in any thing, it would be pasta, bread, and potato's, things that are high in carbs.

Answer 2

Hi there,

If you are underweight this is a medical issue and I think you should be asking a doctor about the best way to do it (including whether or not those shakes really work).
