A member asked:
A genetically underweight boy can gain weight through proper treatment or through balanced diet? also i eat very little.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nutrition: If underweight - increased caloric intake (calories consumed > calories burned) is likely to allow for weight gain. Since this states that you eat very little - that is likely a factor.
