Talk to your doctor: Talk to your doctor who will have good suggestions available. He/she can also tell your daughter what weight would "match" her height. S/he may also be able to refer her to a dietician to help with high quality diet choices. Many folks slip in an extra 360 calories per day by taking a can of supplement such as boost or ensure. Do taste-testing to see what flavor she prefers (best when cold).
