I do take zinc daily so it's not that. On the what I taste it is mainly the umami bit I don't taste well, although it can be any. My stronger tastes are sweet and salty sour and savoury being less strong.

Oh, vern, I really feel for you. I suppose you will just have to test the water and see what's the worst that could happen if you were to slightly increase those boundaries. Maybe you will feel so proud of yourself you will see it's ok. I don't have strict boundaries just guidelines so I can reach my goal.

Thanks for that. I live in the UK so unfortunately a lot of what you have we don't. We gave the pumpkin cake but not bread and how I do fancy the cake pop but it's not on the menu. Our cakes are raspberry and coconut, lemon drizzle and pumpkin (seasonal). I think I'll have to send Starbucks head quarters an email about…

How to gain- that's the million dollar Q for me too. You are not alone. Do we just simply need the motivation to eat more and enjoy food?

Cheers for that. I just don't know how to do that while and log it onto myftnesspal. Ie do I measure macros and nutrients by maintenance then eat over or measure by want to gainX amount per week?

Ok, so based in what I've read. If I eat my nutrient levels for ...is it mainenace? Then I eat what I want? But won't this show up as way over the sugar level and carb or fat ...or do I care. And dies it matter if it's extra cals. Sorry Jennifer I'm not a Nutella fan. My vices are coffee especially cappuccinos , wine,…

I take Solvazinc tabs so can't be that:(

I love cheese so I'd go for a couple of crackers on cheese. I'd choose a hard cheese like cheddar or Edam/ Gouda. Although it contains fat it's more satisfying than cottage cheese so you will feel fuller. Plus it's tasty too;)

They don't know what it is. It really gets me down:( I want it fixed:)

Thanks guys I get the message;)

Actually, my dr said eat more salt Gail and drink more fluid but I swear if I drink any more my stomach will feel like a fish bowl. But thanks for the tips guys I'll certainly try some of these out.

Thanks

Had routine bloods taken and this was the result. Most of the population are trying to lower salt and I'm trying to increase it:(

Thanks I'll try that

Try what exactly? Lol May sort out my wrinkles but it's not gonna make me gain weight is it?

Hi I can totally sympathise how you feel. I'm trying to gain weight but it's hard. I think you should eat more of what you enjoy and hopefully it will entice you to eat more. You probably need to eat an extra 500cals a day every day on top of what you normally eat. My personal favourite is cheese which is very energy dense…

I'm also trying to gain weight. I think it is harder to loose weight than gain. I think you should eat something you enjoy that will make you want to eat more. I personally love cheese which is high in cals but also tasty. There are so many varieties you should find at least one you like and have it with crackers or in…
