    Why is gaining weight such a hard subject for people w/o ED? It would like having Christmas every day if I had this goal
    From personal experience, I'd say a lot of it goes to point #1 I posted in the sparta thread. Those of us with fast metabolisms have higher TDEE's, and our appetites may not necessarily compensate. Or, another thing I've heard is that for some of us, in response to overfeeding our bodies rev up our activity level (like fidgeting) to compensate.

    To the OP, how do these ingredients look to you?

    everyone does that. it's not just you. - that's one of the reasons why you have to eat a big ENOUGH surplus to not just allow your body to burn it by fidgiting.

    I know this is a difficult concept- but you aren't really a special snowflake.

    The increase in NEAT (non-exercise activity) happens to most people.

    Fidgeting? I think you just don't eat that much IMHO. But hard to tell unless we both went to Claimjumpers and went to town on dinner

    If my understanding is correct though, then it's appetite that makes the difference. Otherwise, obesity numbers would be a lot lower, right?

    I know. It's odd that threads with topics that have been covered 500 times would have some of the same type of replies isn't it?

    Well, that E101 looks like it would be really really bad for you for a start!! I mean, it's an 'E number' :p

    eat more pasta and rice

    OP is allergic to wheat...

    and apparently common sense.
    So no more harmful than your fruit sugar.
    hysterical given the OP is a fruititarian.

    LOL I can't argue with the common sense part...

    Well, considering the OP was stating that, for example, annatto is a bad additive that causes health problems, and then suggested other people did not know what is in food its a valid question.

    Not to side with the OP but there are two groups of people that want to gain weight.
    1) Those that want to gain muscle/size
    2) Those that are recovering from eating disorders or have a misunderstanding about food that put them into a position of wanting to gain weight but cannot for whatever reason.
