A member asked:

Is it normal to want to gain more weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What's normal?: Normal is all relative. It depends on if your current weight is healthy or not. If you are underweight, then it would be healthy to want to gain more weight. If you are healthy weight, what type of weight are you trying to gain - muscle? Fat?. If you are overweight or obese, it is not healthy to want to gain more weight.
