| need to gain weight! After 9 and 1/2 mos at this I'm still underweight. I'm 5'9" and my scale said 123.5 lbs this morning. I know, most people have the opposite problem. I think my biggest problem is I just don't eat enough calories; I think I eat around 1800 calories a day. I try to eat healthy and some days I feel like all I do is eat!
Should I just eat more carbs? I was told to eat no more than 5 carb choices per meal but it would be easy to eat more, especially if I drink a whole glass of juice instead of half for a start. I read somewhere (I think on here) that you basal insulin should be half of the insulin you take in a day. Does it really matter if I would take say 5 more units of Novolog than Lantus a day?? And those of you on a pump, you only use one type of insulin don't you?
So what say you all? Eat more carbs? Protein bars or shakes? See a nutritionist?
TIA! |
