I've been having issues for about four years now. I can't seem to keep weight on. For a period of time (roughly 3 months) I was eating next to nothing because eating made me feel physically sick. Luckily, my friends stepped in and got me eating again. As sporadic as my eating is now, no matter how much I eat, I can't keep the weight on. I've been told to see a doctor in another support group, but I can't afford one right now. Just looking for some helpful tips to try and get the weight and keep it.
I'd say to keep the weight on, you need to have an idea of your maintenance kcals. The number of calories you requite everyday to maintain your weight. Based on your sex, lifestyle, activity level etc.
there are lots of calculators online, and that would give you a goodidea of how many to aim for each day..and you will stop losing weight.
Type in something like maintenance calorie calculator, it'l come up.
Good luck

You have to believe reality. If the charts say that you are consuming enough calories but are still not gaining weight, please talk to your doctor. There may be something going on in your body where you burn calories faster than people typically do.
