Help please

a serving of peanut butter is 200 calories, a serving a nuts is about the same, an avocado is 250 calories....

These are the most annoying threads on the fourm

Eat more

Its the least complicated thing in the world

Do you really need to be told to eat a normal amount of food?

I often get caught up in work and don't eat until my students go home at 3

I have ZERO issue getting in enough calories.

You should not either

You're just forcing yourself to eat less

If all else fails eat some PB

Only hurting yourself by not getting the caloreis in

Try eating a protein plus powerbar for breakfast or some other high cal bar...or a spoon of pb...the protein bars have 200 plus cal and are a quik grab

NO I DON'T need to be told how to eat.. But my Stomach can't digest food like you or another normal person.. I cant eat a lot of food for this reason if i do i get sick.... So that Brings me to eating breakfast I have tried to push meals back and cant for the fact i can only do so much food a day. have always been that way even as a kid... and being 158 with out eating a lot can be done it is called being sick with kidney cancer and down for over a year... So please the next time you want to make someone feel like they are stupid for asking a question think before you reply. the reason they ask may have a good reason behind it for them to ask and not another person like yourself.... I am not trying to be mean or nasty but i get sick of people saying i am not trying to make an effort to make myself healthy cause i am... I have to watch how much and what i eat i cant do peanuts or read meat as to having another health problem... so for i ask again if you have an idea on what can help me get the calories in with out eating to much please help me out... if you want to try and make me feel like a stupid person just keep your comment to yourself... before i got sick with cancer twice and my other health problem i was only 120 pounds i was healthy at one point....

I know it's difficult not to, but try not to take it personally. The majority of these threads are started by people who have no medical reasons to have troubles reaching a healthy calorie goal. It's one of my biggest aggravations here on MFP. Sometimes there is a person - like you - who has valid issues. That would be in the rarity.

Peanut butter, avacados, foods cooked in oil (olive oil is a decent and healthy thing), butter - there is a long list of high-calorie, low filling foods on MFP. People will respond with them. Just take a look.

In your profile, you mentioned the cancer as well. I'm not certain that anyone here is remotely qualified to help you work through this. We can certainly recommend nutrient-dense foods and similar things, however, with your history, you'd probably be best served by a crew of doctors and nutritionists.

That said, you're obviously a grown up and you can seek medical help if you wish but instead you came here. So you have some hard and fast dietary limitations.

Let's start there:

No peanuts
No red meat
Any others?

Meal issues:

You cannot eat large meals
You cannot eat breakfast (Why not?)
How much can you fit at a time? Is it just quantity of food? Is it impacted by macronutrient ratios, for instance, fatty foods flip your sick switch, or carbs, or proteins? Does it vary based on whether the food is dense or not, such as sliced bread versus bagels? If the food is fluid, such as smoothies, is that easier?

If you don't eat breakfast you won't lose as much weight because your body does not get your metabolism going and therefore you burn cals very sluggishly. You need to exercise and eat enough cals.

Untrue. The body is not a car, it does not need warmed up or "started". It is always running. If it weren't, we would be hovering around the medical point of half-death every morning.

Exercise and enough calories is very solid advice.

Sorry to hear you have/ have had health problems. If that is the case you are seeking advice in the wrong place - you require medical advice from a healthcare professional like a registered dietician, not advice from mostly unqualified strangers on a forum.

I have been there done that and bills pile up for it why do you think i reached out here......

Your original post did not indicate any medical conditions, etc...so how are all of us here supposed to know? We've had many people who pop on here without any medical issues that have posted the same problems with their eating. And usually - it's because they've set their goals too low and are eating below their BMR.


Aside from that...as it is stated by MFP when you scroll all the way down:

"Posts by members, moderators and admins should not be considered medical advice and no guarantee is made against accuracy."

Not sure what you were expecting. Most are not equipped to give advice with dietary specifications and those that might be able to, probably won't because they don't know your exact circumstances and know better than to start handing out random advice. It may cost money, and I feel you on that. It sucks. But you can't expect us to first of all, automatically know that you have medical problems much less start handing out advice on a matter that seems very specific in regards to what you "can't" digest.

In this, case, maybe join a cancer support group or a support group for those with your particular problem on the internet and see what others have done to tackle the issues that you are facing. Maybe that would be better if you are unable to see a doctor or nutritionist.

Nuts. Peanut butter. Cheese. Avocado.

Not so difficult.

THIS! ^^^^^

high quality fat is the best way to go!
