Suggest Ways To Gain Weight

Can you please suggest a supplement or whatever to help an extremely thin young teenage girl (13) to gain weight. She wants to gain weight, she has a very healthy diet, the child concerned has made it her business to gain good knowledge of nutrition and she eats well, as does the whole family. She snacks all day on carrots and other good healthy food (no junk snacks) and she eats a lot of different fresh fruits regularly, she eats large portions at meal times and there is no evidence whatever of purging after meals. She has regular comprehensive health checks and there is no evidence at all of any health issues. would appreciate your advice, thank you.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Thanks for using HCM, I understand your concern and will try to give you my medical advice, I think she can start to eating a big portion of carbohydrates ( rice, beans, corn, lentils,oatmeal,soybeans, pastas, low fat milk) without abandoning her regular diet.
She loves a healthy lifestyle and those are natural food plenty of calories, would big great is she avoid high intensity exercises and just keeping her physical activities in the regular basis about the nutritional supplements you can choose whatever according her needs ( mostly all kind work)
I hope that my advice has been helpful and good luck
