Need to gain weight: With a height of 5'7'', your weight should be close to 150 pounds but your current weight is 92 pounds, which means that you are approximately 60% of your normal weight. You should try to gain weight gradually, probably over a period of 2 years. Physical activity is very important, in order to make you feel hungry. Having several nutritious small meals may help. Eat slightly high calorie diet.
