I'm returning to Uni in the next couple of weeks and plan to start a fitness plan. My aims are to improve general fitness by exercising regularly (thinking maybe swimming, running and gym perhaps?), improving my diet (I eat really badly because I am a fussy eater) and to tone myself up a bit (don't want bulging muscles though).
However, my problem is this. I'm really underweight at the moment (for various reasons) - I'm averaging 7st 8 and I'm 5' 6". I do not want to lose weight, and ideally would like to put on weight. How do I incorporate an exercise plan, with healthier food, without losing anymore weight? I'm guessing perhaps up my calorie intake, but to gain weight I'm going to have to eat more than my recommended calorie intake for a while, which when eating healthy foods and exercising, is not an easy task!
I know that putting on weight isn't just about putting on fat, you can gain weight through muscle too...however, I don't want my body fat to drop too low. Anybody got any ideas?
Also, might it be worth holding out on the exercise and healthy eating until I gain some more weight?
Cheers
