I wasn't sure where to post this, and I'll try to keep it short.
Basically, I badly need to gain weight, but it's very hard for me to do so. I'm 5'6" and 110 lbs and dropping thanks to my long list of food intolerances. I have a dairy, egg, soy, gluten and nut intolerance. Hard to do groceries. On top of that, I also have chronic hypoglycemia so I try to eat carbs with a low GI, a serving of protein and a veggie every 2 hours to help keep my blood sugar stable. With all of this, plus being a slow weight gainer in the first place, it's hard!
I want to gain muscle but it seems as if it literally takes forever for my muscles to recover. Not only that but I'm just weak and I tire very easily, probably due to my blood sugar issue, guess I should build up exercising very slowly. I drink whey protein isolate but guess it's not nearly enough to help muscle gain.
Honestly I don't know much about building muscle outside of a basic protein shake, so I'm clueless as what to do. One thing I know is that I'm tired of being skinny and having a little girl body, or even an old lady body with the lack of muscle I have.
If anyone could help me out with this, it would be GREATLY appreciated!
