She appears to be at the very bottom end of healthy weight for her height and frame, and even if she is underweight by 1-3 lbs (3 whole lbs? err mah geerrrrrd!!!!) if anything she needs to put on about 5lbs (not more than that, gross) of muscle, not fat.
This. I got in better shape on my recent deployment than I was when I played college rugby. Stronger, faster, more agile. I could go out now and play better than I did when I was 20.
Crossfit football is not like most crossfit affiliates. The strength training is more structured, and amateurs are not expected to do things like Muscle ups, overhead squats, or most Olympic lifts.

As far as a “box”, I don’t work out at a box because, like the author of this article, the whole crossfit cult is very off putting for me.
PS: the milk thing actually works. No, it is not easy to drink a gallon of milk a day, but it will work.
