I need to gain around 11lbs?

I've been checking my weight/height, etc. And it turns out that I need to gain 11 lbs to have avg. weight.

I'm;

- Female

- 97 lbs

- 5'2 (short, huh)

My ideal wight has to be 108, so I need to gain 11 lbs.

Can some one give me any recipes, etc. I want to gain weight but still be healthy, and not lose my figure.. Help?

Also, I don't have to gain 11 lbs, at least 9lbs :).

Update:

I want to GAIN not LOSE weight ;)

    First of all you need to consider you're frame. You may in fact be a fine size. BMI and health charts are just a generalization. Check your body fat.

    If you do need to change weight eat more calories. Eat healthily, everything in moderation, but more of each things. Add more carbs to you're diet. Drink protien shakes or meal replacement drink between meals. Choose higher calorie choice like bananas instead of apples, orange juice instead of flavoured water, full fat instead of low. Eat more regularly.

    Make sure you take in more energy than you put out. This doesn't just mean through exercise, it's through general living too.

    Consider if anything is causing you to be underweight. Stress, over working, illness, etc.

    You're best to see a doctor or nutritionist for advise.

    My opinion is.....to

    1-Choice Your breakfast.

    2-Eat nuts and fruits.

    3-The most important point to eat as much as whatever you want and you'll be skinny.

    :)

    Lovely weekend.

    Thanks.
