Am I eating to much or too little?

[Anonymous]

over the whoel course of almost everyday
This is what I eat:
3 glasses of milk
64 oz of water
A bowl of soup
And a few handfuls of sunflower seeds.

This amounts to about 1400 calories a day.
My doctor said I'm a bit underweight so I need to gain a few lb.

Also I'm 14, and I would like to get taller.
I want to eat better to get taller and be healthier.
I'm 5'2".. And I'm the shortest girl in my class. I get really sad about that.

During a typical day I eat: 3 eggs on toast, 2 protein shakes, 2 liters of milk, 1 liter if water, 2 tins of tuna with 2-3 cups of rice, 2 bananas, 3-400g chicken breast, 3 cups of veggies and maybe some pieces of chocolate.. The doctor also says I'm underweight and could put on a few kgs. I'm 5'7 and weigh 55kg @ 27yo. My point is, we eat on the opposite end of the scales yet are both low weight. The MOST important thing to rember is that you are getting your daily nutrients and are eating enough energy to get you through the day in a spiritedly manner. However I think young need to add some vital solid foods to your diet :)

That's like more than 2000 calories
R u trying to gain weight or something XD

[BZerpy]

Trying, it doesn't work. I play too much sports and my metabolism is too fast. I stopped the crazy eating frenzy for 1 month in October and lost 6kg.. :/

[Asker]

If u think about it, it's good we at underweight
Because most people now a days are normal on the after side, and if they gain 5 kg they will become overweight.
It Sounds like u r healthy

Fatter* not after

Secretly yes, I am very happy about my weight because I know that as I get older I will move into the normal weight range while everyone else will be obese..
But in all seriousness, I do think what you are eating isn't nutritious enough, like the others mentioned, just adding a little extra would go a long way, and you energy levels will soar!

At 15 you need more calories, because your metabolism is higher at this stage in your life. To grow taller, will happen in his own time. One summer you will shoot past others if it is in your Genetic makeup. How tall are your parents, does height run in your family from your maternal parents? The last thing is self-esteem, learn to be happy with who you are and be patient, to be shorter is not always a bad thing. Remember... good things come in small packages. 😁

My moms side is tall, my dads side is short

Then you will be in between... look we can give you a diet, and say stretch daily, science dictates if you sleep, a minimum of 8 hours your body grows, but this is dictated based on DNA, you will grow when its time... furthermore eat, dont starve yourself with a crazy diet, eat wise, but be a kid, enjoy your youth while you can and please be happy with yourself chica, you'll be happy that you did, your special and being tall or short does not determine this, its what's on the inside that does... good luck😁

Im 5ft 1 and im almost 30 you need to eat a balanced diet to grow and what you are eating is not balanced you need meat, veg and carbs in your diet.

[Asker]

I hate vegetables and fruit and meat :(
There's no hope for me

[BZerpy]

Why do you hate them? They are the most satisfying delicious foods there are :P

[Asker]

Well try blending up fruit with yoghurt and eat your vegetables hidden like broccoli soup or pea and ham... got to find alternative if you dont like it the regular way
