vegetarian trying to gain weight - looking for friends

thefewsteps

I need to gain weight! about 15 lbs. I set my profile up to gain 1 lb/wk and it say to eat around 1800 calories. Anyone in the same boat? I love eating clean and I am pretty close to vegan but I am not going to even think about the vegan transition until I'm at a healthy weight. Any vegans/vegetarians that can/are willing to help me/look at my diary/etc should add me or message me!

I have already been adding a lot of nuts/seeds/nut butter and I am going to try to make a protein smoothie every morning. I never was too into carbs but I am also adding more breads/rice/pasta. I just want to know I'm on the right track.

Hi I'm also trying to gain weight. I'm currently 107 lbs but my goal is to be 120 lbs by this summer! I have been considering trying a vegetarian diet just to be more healthy but not sure if ill be able to still gain weight if I do that. What do you eat to gain weight as a vegetarian?

thefewsteps

right now i'm eating more in general. like 5 meals, bigger than i used to eat. i usually do at least 1 protein shake/smoothie per day.

beans, soy beans/mukimame/soy nuts, tofu, texturized veg protein, greek yogurt, eggs, nuts, nut butter, rice, pasta, breads, potatoes, adding in seeds like flax/chia/sesame/sunflower, nutritional yeast, etc

My brother's trying to gain weight, too. Weird 'cause his nutritionist suggested he eat around 2-3000 Calories a day.
