Hi,I am Neethu Vipin (Dietitian & Nutritionist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Under Weight Even After Taking High Caloric Food?
I am 165cm tall and 49kg. I eat on average 2500-3000 cal a day and lift heavy weights religiously for 2 years now but have never reached beyond 52kgs. I have been looking into prescribed steroids for a long time now and have just booked an appointment with my doctor to discuss it further. Do you believe this is possible?
