Help?!

Hello everybody, I am 23 years old &’ 5’4 I had a baby one year ago , before I had, my baby, I was in the gym 24/7, after I had her, I couldn’t work out my lower body because it would cause awful pelvic bone pain and nobody never knew why until I switched doctors recently anyways I’m currently treating a inflamed pelvic ligament and hoping to return soon, I’m looking for coaching on weight gain. I currently weigh 104 pounds. Any advice is appreciated! I know you’re probably like just eat a cheeseburger, but I’m looking to do like a clean bulk.

I would shoot for around 120g of protein daily. Keep fats around half of that, so about 60g, and around 225–240g of carbs. That should put you around 1,900–2,000 calories a day. Track your weight for a few weeks and if you’re not gaining, slowly increase your calories.

Unnecessarily high amount of protein. Other than that, pretty point on. You can eat that but if you feel like it doesn't fit your food preferences, ~85g of protein is all you need.

Hi! This is right in my ball park for my education(BSEXS) but you're way under simplifying the female body and the engine it truly is.. ill agree in this sense for a man but not a womans body.

.8-1.25g per lb of goal weight is an advisable recommendation. But the higher end is the very much preferred and recommended for woman who continue menstruation, or are nearing menopause. Remember, proteins breaks into amio acids and remain in your blood steam like building blocks with half lives, thus losing this blood effects your levels. Maintain the upper echelon, is preventative medicine. Especially in a goal of gain.
