I have a client that is currently underweight and is looking to gain some weight the healthy way. What nutritional tips can I give her to help out while staying within my scope of practice as a personal trainer? What pitfalls or danger should I warn her to look out for?

Hello Melanie Fensick,
You know…her underweight may be her normal weight. Is there a health concern? If so, see a doctor and whoever they recommend. Otherwise, stick to a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced diet, and get proper rest and exercise.
The danger pitfall may be comparing self to others.
If all is well and good, I agree with weight training, at 75% of 1RM, and having her speak to a registered dietitian.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.
