Thank you, that has really helped, my portions are big enough for me, but i think that i need to add some healthy snacks with the meal.

Hello Chloe_georgiaa,

It is important to consume an adequate number of calories each day to maintain a healthy weight. The recommended daily intake of calories depends on your height and weight. In general, 2000 calories a day is recommended for women.

I suggest that you assess what you are eating at each meal. It is important to eat a well-balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates and limiting fat. Choose monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, such as olive oil. Do you need to increase your portions or add healthy snacks to your diet to gain weight?

If necessary, you might consider seeking the professional guidance of a nutritionist.
