I lost weight while I was sick?

[ScorpioDW]

Well I got sick a few days ago and every time I get sick I lose weight because I lose my appetite and I don't eat as much. I really didn't want to lose any weight because I'm already pretty skinny, I actually want to gain weight lol but I don't think it was nowhere healthy for me to lose weight considering I am so skinny, even though I'm not sick anymore, now I'm starting to feel dizzy and out of energy. And I think its because I hardly have any meat on my bones. I have hardly a figure anymore, my clothes don't fit as tight as they used to, and you can just tell I got thinner than what I already was. I really need help on gaining some weight, I don't gain weight so easily. What kind of food helps you gain weight except for junk food of course lol I want something more healthy. And what exercises should I do to gain muscle?

Eat a calorie surplus (approximately 300-500 calories per day more than your DRI).

Make sure your diet consists of healthy fats, lots of protein and good carbohydrate sources.

Adopt a workout plan that revolves around both resistance (weight) training and cardio. The cardio should be moderate intensity (brisk walk or light jog), approximately 20 minutes a day on weight days and 40 minutes a day on non-weight days. Weight training should be 3 days a week to start. if your goal is muscle building you should do sets of high weight for lower reps and more sets.

Losing weight when you are sick is perfectly normal. Ummm you will have a very fast metabolism. I would recommend eating food with fat on it lime steak and such. Also try and eat more or eat more times a day.

Make sure you have enough electrolytes! You can get those from Powerade or Gatorade or even Pedialyte. That should help you feel less tired. And protein is your best bet! If you work out after having protein you can build muscle and it will help you gain weight. you'll want to do some weights like leg press and stuff. And ab work. also try increasing the amount of calories you consume in a day. But you should go see your doctor to ask for professional medical advice about this, because weightloss and weightgain can get risky.

Eat bananas. They have healthy fat and it is what celebrities use to gain weight for roles

Eat more rice and meat. Also add some vegetables and drink lots of water. It'll be good for you.
