To help with prep and planning I prelog - during the week I eat the same thing each day, so I just plan 1 day of food and multiply by 5.
This helps me know I'm getting the calories I need to achieve my goals. It also means I can buy in bulk (cheaper) and makes prep quicker/easier.
Just enter foods you'd like to eat in to your meals and adjust quantities and food choices to meet your calorie goal (and minimums for fat and protein). If you struggle to eat a lot of volume, choose calorie dense foods and consider incorporating calorific drinks as these may be easier to get down.1 -
Thank you0

I make plans to prepare a roast of some kind on Sundays, then use the meat in various dishes throughout the week. I fill in with vegetarian dishes based on tofu or lentils. Here's a sample plan.
I made up this plan for someone who could not tolerate gluten or milk.

Are you gluten intolerant? Do you like those foods? Do they meet your calorie goals?
You'll still need to plan lunches, snacks etc. Why not just make your own meal plan?1 -
Not gluten intolerant, I haven’t come across any foods that I dislike yet. I have to look into the whole calorie counting thing bcuz I’ve never done that before. My food choices are usually whatever that’s quick, inexpensive and or colorful but I was gonna start with this, then customize it to what’s available and affordable. I just wanted a quick starter bcuz my ocd planning skills takes forever0

A quick start is one day of food - pick meals you currently eat and like and log them. You need to find entries for the individual ingredients or products and use a scale to weigh your portions.
To get used to logging, perhaps consider logging your current intake for a week or so. It'll give you and idea as to how you eat and where you may need to adjust things to better suit your goals.1 -
Will certainly work on doing all that0

Can anyone simplify this calorie gained thing ? Did the steps gain me calories?0

I am trying to gain weight as well and want to maintain it when I reach my goal. Looking for friends for support and meal ideas.3

Today wud have been Day 68 but I failed to log in yesterday 😞 I broke my streak and now I shall restart at 10:40 pm... I joined this aug 18, 2018 hoping to make a meal plan, buy some healthy groceries and start eating healthy... maybe even gain a few pounds but after 2months I realized that I haven’t been using this the way I really want.... i wasn’t using it the best way to help me.... I haven’t accomplished any of the real goals I truly aimed to accomplish but I hope to start tomorrow1

Protein ... lots of protein ... chicken ... steak ... fish ... eggs ...
Carbs ... oats ... rice... sweet potatoes try to eat your carbs in the morning and around your workouts
Don’t skip out on your essential fats.. coconut oil ... nuts ... avocado
Feel free to add me always willing to help where I can6 -
I’ve decided to gain some weight back and could use some friends doing the same thing, feel free to add me1

Peanuts, pumpkin seeds, trail mix, peanut butter, and ice cream are my go-tos for quick calories. Tis the season for eggnog as well, so drink up!1
