you may have a food allergy or be gluten intolerant!. gluten is a protein found in wheat (you mentioned being full after toast)!. if you are gluten intolerant your intestines can experience swelling in response to the protein causing bloating!. the bloating can stop your intestines from absorbing calories (ie keeping you unhealthy thin)!. check out this website and if it sounds familiar check with a doctor!. http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Coeliac_dis!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try adding tiny things that pack some calories to your meals!.
Like have some cereal or oatmeal and sprinkle some flax seed or wheat germ on it, or add nuts, or both! That already can add up to about 100 or more calories and you'll hardly notice!
Or you can buy some rather pricey weight management shakes, they're small and pack 250-370 calories per shake!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you want to gain a little weight, start trying to eat some more red meat and eating nuts and things high in protein, but not high in fat!. Also, try drinking a slimfast or a weight management drink right before you go to bed!. Just remember to eat healthy, but try eating a little more each day!. And you might be eating more calories than you think, try keeping a food journal for a few days so that you can figure out how many calories you've ingested and then try to figure out what you can do to change and increase!. This will also help if and when you go to a doctor, so they can see what you're eating and try to help you!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
