Weight Gain and Meal Replacement Drinks?!
Question: Weight Gain and Meal Replacement Drinks!?
I am beginning recovery from anorexia (17 years old, 5'4 an 82lbs) and i need to gain at least 10lbs to stay out of inpatient!. I am really scared, but realize that i need to do this for my health!.
I currently eat around 1600 calories, but i need to boost that number!. Would it be ok if i ate my regular meals/snacks, and supplemented with 2 Carnation Instant Breakfasts (230 calories each) and one Ensure drink (350 calories) a day!? I'm scared because i know these drinks are kind of high in sugar, but i find it hard to actually eat more!. So is this a good plan!? Would it help me gain weight healthily, and does it affect where i gain the weight!?
And also, is it good to drink a Carnation Instant breakfast made with skim milk after workouts!? (Especially if i would like to gain muscle)
Thanks in advance

The meal replacement drinks are for people trying to LOOSE weight!. I would suggest that you stick w/ normal meals!. The replacement drinks have healthy stuff in them but not as much nutrients as a regular solid meal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
