A member asked:

I've always been underweight, no matter my calorie intake any tips on how i can gain weight, ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why underweight?: There are lots of reasons for being underweight, &these should be ruled out by medical evaluation. Assuming your work-up identifies no maldigestion, malabsorption, inflammatory disease, chronic infection, metabolic abnormalities, ca, or non-gi systemic disease then weight gain is a simple matter of taking in more calories than you burn. Supplement with fortified milk shakes/ commercial products.
