Best way to put on weight healthily?

[Storrsy24]

Hi all.
I'm a 30 year old female having problems building up muscle and putting on weight.
January time I was 68kgs and I stuck to a gluten free diet for a month. I am now at 61kgs, Bearing in mind I am 5ft10 this is just right for my height but I don't like how I look/feel. I'm tired everyday and have no energy, not even to exercise. My muscles feel weak and I barely have a daily intake of 1000 calories so I don't and can't eat a lot.

I've looked up info on Google etc but I want to know if anything has worked for YOU?
And if you could give me any info?

Cheers guys.

Thank you so much!

I'm looking into it now

Well I have advice from a friend who has a body builder physique. He suggested a shake and the recipe is god awful! Raw eggs? I'd gone out and bought myself a blender about an hour ago and made a smoothie with peanut butter, milk, yogurt, coconut oil, banana, dark chocolate and ice. I found this recipe on the Internet, I can barely stomach it

I can never get proper advice or info from women as I shamefully put a status on Facebook last night.
It's like they don't take me seriously "Oh you have a lovely figure I'll swap bodies with you" etc..
Some people don't understand how frustrating it is!

Breathe.

Thank you all for helping.

I agree with this completely. Increases/decreases for most people should be done slowly.

I've been training for 14yrs and can now (reasonably) comfortable change weight/shape/bodyfat in a month or two. The reason most people fail, or feel crap is because they try too much, too soon.

Oops. I literally went all out and shoved 1900 in my mouth yesterday. Including a protein bar!
Then did a cardio workout. I have to say I feel much better than a couple of days ago, less tired.
I have a Personal Trainer coming round tomorrow to 'work me hard' and give me some diet tips so I can't wait for that.

Not to mention I've been taking antidepressants for nearly a week now and although they have probably given me a few side effects (nausea/tired/dry mouth) it makes me want to drink more water and sort myself out. I've been diagnosed with GAD and panic disorder which is also why I lost weight. I'm determined to get back on track.
Thanks all for the advice.

Ps. I'm never eating raw eggs!!

Lol. Are you sure shouting Beefcake doesn't help?! It would be easier.
I've just been for a run with the OH and I am absolutely st at travelling. I can do half an hour non stop doing aerobic step exercises but I can't seem to do the whole running thing.
Frustrating!!

1) Stop doing such high intensity exercise. You're burning calories that you haven't got.
2) Seek help beyond a doctor giving you sweeties.

I'm going to CBT counselling. Medication was my last resort.
