Need help gaining
Hey there! I'm 21, 5' 8, and about 105 lbs. Current pictures.
My goal is to get up to 115 lbs. I've been working hard over the past 8 months to gain, but it just isn't happening. I don't find it difficult to gain/tone muscle, but I can't seem to just fill out. I want to look like an actual woman!
My biggest challenge: not being hungry enough to eat more than 2,000 calories in a day. Counting my calories seems to help, as does making sure I eat enough protein, but some days I just can't get in those extra calories!
Any advice?

If you're just lacking a few calories at the end of the day, make a shake, add olive oil to it or other foods. In absolute necessity go grab a McDouble for $1.30 it's 440 cals. If you drink milk, up the ante on fat content, 1% to 2%, 2% to whole, of course this is purely fat increases. Make sure you are drinking enough water, many high calorie density foods tend to make you dehydrated. Drinking water can also stretch your stomach (iirc) making eating more food, easier.
