Hi,
I am very new to these forums, and to swaying. But DH only agreed to #3 if we can have a boy, so here I am. I am currently underweight, and have been trying to gain weight for the last 6 months without success. Just saw my obgyn and all is healthy, just have a high metabolism. Anyway, my question is: I read that I should try to get 2200-2500 calories a day. In all my weight gaining endeavors I have made it up to about 1900 calories from about 1200. How important is the actual number of calories, compared to just an increase? I might be able to squeeze another 100 calories in with a bedtime snack. And I now track the nutritional content of my foods, and have found a couple areas where I am really lacking. So my intake will be changing as I sway.
