Answers:

Try foods that are high in protein, like peanut butter, eggs, red meat.

For the workout, I'd suggest weight-lifting with a program that evenly works out your whole body. In general, you want high weight, low reps. Meaning, use a weight that you can safely (but feeling challenged) do 8 reps of. When that's too easy, go up to 10 reps, then 12. THEN, up the weight, and go back to 8 reps, and so on. This will add muscle, which will add weight.

If you're not wanting to bulk up, but just go for general toning, it's the opposite: low weight, high reps. So you'll start with a level that you can do 12-15 reps of. Then increase the reps to 15, then 20, and if you get to a point where you're not feeling challenged at all, you may consider increasing the weight very gradually.

Good luck!
