Help me with weight gain?

Question

I’ve been struggling trying to gain weight and I don’t workout crazy (like maybe every other day). I was 97 lbs and I’ve been sitting at 103 lbs for 3 months already. I’ve been trying to gain ever since. No matter how much I eat, I just go back to 103. Would someone please guide me on how to gain weight all the while having a nice physique? 
Btw I stand at 5’1/ 5’2
P.S. any tips on what foods or workouts to grow the booty is also appreciated!

Answer

You need to increase your calorie intake to gain weight. I’d suggest using an online calculator (google “macro calculator” and you will find one easily) and put in all of your details to figure out how much you need to be eating to gain weight. Then I’d download an app like MyFitnessPal and start tracking your food & make sure you hit the calorie number you get using the calculator. You may find you currently eat a lot of high volume but low calorie foods so while you feel you eat a lot, you may not be getting enough calories. Easiest way to get calories in (without having massive portions if that’s not your thing) is via healthy fats as they have a higher number of calories per gram in comparison to protein/carbs. Try cooking your food with olive/avocado/coconut oil or natural butter, snack on things like nuts & cheese, nut butters on rice cakes, add cheeses like feta and pine nuts to your salads. Go for higher calorie meats e.g beef, lamb, pork, salmon. Use full fat milk. Google “fat bomb recipes” for high fat/calorie snack ideas (which are usually really yummy lol). Hope this helps & good luck! 😊
