I’ve always been underweight, my entire life. Even as a teenager. I’ve not been able to get above 125, and at the moment, I’m at 103. My BMI is 14.8. I know I need to eat at least double the calories, but I get nauseous if I eat too much. I’m also lactose intolerant and allergic to tree nuts, so it makes it hard to supplement with protein shakes. I tried the fairlife protein shakes but I think my digestive tract doesn’t agree with monkfruit.

I don’t know what to do. I’m tired of feeling weak all of the time, and having no energy. It feels like my bones themselves hurt. I have a doctor’s appointment in a couple of weeks where we’re going to discuss testing my thyroid, but I’m feeling like I’m damaging my body beyond repair at the age of 29. I already broke my leg once. I have an implant from it, and the surgeon was very concerned about my weight and that I might have osteoporosis.

This is mostly a ramble. I’m gunna go eat spoonfuls of peanut butter and try to make myself feel better for awhile. If you have any tips, please advise. Thank you.

    Also if you are allergic to seasoning thet usually have unseasoned options. And for pure calories white rice is a good option, very unlikely to upset your stomach.
