If you think that you are under weight it means that you are under eating that is why you are losing weight. If you under eat then your body will think that it should take from the supply it already has which is from the body itself it actually eats its self that is why no weight is put on and the person gets skinnier. it will cause serious problems later on with the bones.
A safe diet that i eat is to eat every four hours so that my body doesn’t stave itself and it knows that I am going to be regular with the food because if it thinks it won’t get any food then it will store up the food it gets and make me even more fatter even though I don’t eat much.
So eat every four hours have anything even if it is a stick of celery just pop it in but in your case you have to eat more a healthy calorie count is 2000 a day unless you exercises then it will be 2500 a day so that your body doesn’t eat it self. and your body will behavior correctly and doesn’t think that it is on a famine. If it thinks this then it will store store and store. Hence big belly. Eat Carbs during the day and eat slow releasing ones like, potato’s, whole wheat, oats, rice, bread. One large potato is a portion and a half. So watch your portion sizes because you will need to eat more to make up the difference and eat often every four hours. Good luck it works for me.

I have heard that swimming is the best! While you swim, you use every muscle in your body! Or maybe even tennis since you are constantly moving, or hiking too!

team games like football/soccer, basketball, rugby/football is a lot of fun. You can do that with your friends. The best sports for stamina and muscle is swimming and running. You might be underweight but seeing as if you gain more muscle, you can gain more weight since muscle weighs more than fat

If you want to lose weight and tone your body, you need to pick an activity which incorporates cardiovascular exercise AND muscle usage. For example, some sports like baseball will strengthen some muscles, but won’t give you a lot of cardiovascular exercise. Also, are there specific parts of your body you would like to enhance?. If you want stronger legs, do something like soccer or biking…if you want stronger arms/back, something like rowing or tennis, etc.
If you are just looking for an overall workout, I agree swimming is a good exercise for overall toning (uses many different muscles) and weight loss (good cardiovascular workout). It is also easier on the joints than other types of exercises because it offers good resistance on the whole body. This is especially important when you get older.
That being said, I usually just play soccer or tennis because those are the sports I am best and and enjoy most. The most important aspect of exercise is actually doing it…pick something that you love so that you will do it more often. Try some different sports and pick which ones you have the most fun doing and which make you most happy =) If you are young your body can handle most types of activities..you just need to be more careful as you age.
If you are eating right and staying active often, your body will show the results. Good luck =)
