Maybe you need a new cook.

If you want to gain muscle, you need lots of protein and lots of strengthening exercises.

I use Boost plus 360 calorie as a supplement to keep a decent weight, which for me is 102 or 103, and 5' tall. Exercise really helps me have some appetite, but weighing less than 90 two years ago, my doctor is most concerned with me staying over 100 pounds, which helps me look and feel better. Most of my weight gain is fat not muscle so if I can exercise more and gain some muscle that would be @A MyCOPDTeam Member would be great with an answer if she has time. Also @A MyCOPDTeam Member a new cook would be a GREAT way for me to gain weight! 😃

If you can't eat maybe a protien shake or something. Or think of something you really like maybe that might help. I know when i go shopping i buy all kinds of things they look good at the time but a lot gets threw out because i don't eat it so i am starting to watch what i buy i hate wasting food. I don't know if this helps just thought i would throw it out there. Have a great rest of your day. Ken
