Bulk struggles

Not eating enough carbs-does this matter?
I'm having no problem reaching my daily calorie goal and often go over it slightly. I always hit the protein goal and go over with fat but struggle to get the carbs. I've realised this could be due to the database as some foods don't have carbs recorded but I do find it hard to fill up on carbs as my appetite is small.…

Gaining again?
Had a massive shock last week when a friend whom I haven't seen in over two years told me I'm the thinnest person she knows. She also keeps on asking whether I eat enough. I would say I am as I'm not losing weight (same weight for nearly 2 years now). I guess I suffer quite badly from body dysmorphobia as I don't see…

Approximation of Calories

High calorie foods for bad days?
Woke this morning to the familiar signs of an ulcerative colitis flare. So for the moment, high fat and high fibre foods are a no no.:( Any suggestions as to what I can eat to keep up the calories?

hard gainer
I'm what you would call a "hard gainer". In order to gain weight I have to take in quite a bit more calories than I'm used to, which I tried before but seldom hit my target of 2400 a day and spent a great deal stressing about it so I stopped. Anyhow, this week I bought a bunch of Boost Plus to, well, boost my caloric…
