So I used to restrict my calories to 1200, then I upped them to 1,500 as my friends and family said I look to thin, I then decided to up to 1,800 to ensure I did not loose any more weight. I am 5"6 and weigh around 49 kilos. So the past 2 days I have tried to up my calories to 2040 in attempt to gain muscle but I literally feel like I am force feeding myself!! Is this normal? I feel so full and am wondering if my calorie intake is maybe wrongly estimated?

Your almost 1000 calories over what you were eating, of course you'll feel more full. Stick to calorie dense foods if you're uncomfortable with the amount of volume0

Eat 4 tbsp of peanut butter and a whole avocado to start.
There's a good list of other foods you can try in the opening post of this thread:

Struggle to eat 2k? Drink them. If you can't, seek med help, you have mental probs. Good luck.0
