A member asked:

As i start eating more, will i naturally regain the fat and muscle around my ribs and collarbones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Will add mass: Eating more will let you add mass, but just eating without exercising will add fat. Exercise with a good, well-balanced diet will allow you to add more muscle mass.
