I used to dance, and as a result, looked quite skeletal. It wasn't that I was trying to look that way, just that I eat like a bird and was expending a lot of energy. I know where you're coming from...you can't just gain weight, you have to gain "good weight", which is a lot more difficult when you're active.

After speaking to a nutritionist about this issue, she suggested that I ingest more protein from bean-type foods, as opposed to increasing my intake of meat-type protein.The emphasis for me isn't building "bulk", but more of fitting into my slight frame. As a result of changing my diet around a bit and making sure to add that sort of protein in, I look less emaciated and more like a woman. Yay!
