I think I may have a problem here. Im 16 almost 17. I dont eat much, and I weigh 98lbs at the height of 5'2. I dont eat much in a day because I have a busy day and dont have time, or I just cant find anything im interested in. Latily ive been feeling extremly tired, my backs sore, and I dont sleep too greatly. My grandfather often says I look pail. For example of what I ate today was

1/3 of a medium peporinie pizza
3 gernola bars
1 cookie
1 fruit by the foot
2 cups of fruit punch
2 cups of chocolate milk
1 manderine

this is about my normal food intake. And I dont beleive it is to healthy and I should eat more. I dont know what to do. I dont like the way my body looks because I believe I look too thin. Im thinking about talking to a doctor and and maybe see if I should go on vitamins would this help?

Active User, very eHealthy

Since you like chocolate milk, one of the best tasting drinks I found to put weight on and also to help maintain healthy nutrition is, ensure or boost. These drinks are nutritionaly balanced and taste awesome! Chocolate, vanilla, butter pecan and several others.

I lost alot of weight after I had back surgery because of some kind of reaction to the anesthisa that made food totally repulsive to me! These drinks are filling and if you get the higher calorie and higher protien mix, you should be happy with the results.

It's All Junk Food!

For one thing honey, you are eating nothing but junk food!!! That is sooooo not healthy! Maybe you should see a Dr. They can help you sort out feelings, problems, etc...Are you under stress, maybe at school or something? Stress can make you lose your appetite. Are you depressed about something? You're not pregnant, are you?
