i totally know what you mean. most of the foods I don't like are because of the texture and when I try to eat them I just don't like the way they feel in my mouth. this includes: -peanut butter -cottage cheese -avocados/ guacamole -eggs my family thinks I'm weird cause they think these foods are so delicious. but I just…

Hello. I also joined MFP to try and gain weight. I think this site is really really helpful. I also try to eat six to seven meals a day. It may not sound hard to other people, but I think trying to gain weight can be difficult especially when you're working out. I generally eat 2,500 calories a day when I do nothing. On…

I would l:heart: ve to be stalked!

i like the odwalla protein bars too! the zone bars are also really good. :smile:

I use the Ease 100% whey protein powder. I put it in my milkshakes after a workout or sometimes just for a snack. It doesn't taste bad, I actually kind of like it. I would really recommend it. :smile:

OMG! Me too. I wear a size 4 in pants. But when I try on dresses that have zippers on the back they just won't zip unless they are an 8 or bigger! I think it's because I have really broad shoulders from swimming. But I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem. THat just shows that people are meant to be…

Wooohoo for tall women! I'm 5'10 and about 137 pounds. I'm trying to gain some weight and looking to be around 145. I'd like to look a little bit healthier. I'm not sure what my measurements are but I am pretty big boned. :tongue:

i saw that too! is it true. if so I feel bad for her family and friends.... she was so young.

Hey :smile: I am also trying to gain some muscle weight. I find it helps to drink a protein shake after every workout or sometimes at least just once a day. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich before bed each night couldn't hurt either. Try getting in as much protein and carbs as you can and really work on strength…

hey :smile: i stick to what MFP says. i'm 5'10 and 140 pounds and by trying to gain weight i am supposed to eat 2,400 calories with no exercise. I think this is really reasonable so why not trust it?

I DO! :happy: i love swimming. i also play water polo. i just love the water!!!

mines public! :happy: but i'm trying to gain weight... so i don't know if some of my foods would work for others.

how bout you try drinking some benefiber. it does wonders! :wink: and prunes can also do the trick. hope that helps. :flowerforyou:

i'm also trying to gain weight. :smile: i find that peanut butter and nuts are really great sources of good fats. I also drink these nutrition supplements from CVS or target and they don't taste half bad. just some suggestions. good luck.

welcome back to MFP! :happy:

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm actually trying to GAIN weight... so the muscle milk was recommended to me by my doctor. The peanut butter and banana idea sounds really good. I have alot left so I think I will be experimenting for a while... :tongue:

CANDY! pasta bean and cheese burritos mmmmmm..........:tongue:

i just had half of a yummy bean and cheese burrito! :smile:

i'm so sorry! i will pray for their safe return!

welcome to MFP! its a great site and i'm sure you'll love it! :flowerforyou: good luck!

mine is 2,170 in order to maintain my weight. and the recommended amount for weight loss is 1,200. i think 900 is quite low unless you're shorter than 5 feet... hope that helps! :smile:

a trader joe's salad with mixed greens, blue cheese crumbles, walnuts, and cranberries! yummers! :tongue:

wow. thanks. you're right. i feel better about the way i look! :laugh:

OMG! thanks for the answers. i figured out why. it's cause i put that i workout 7 days a week for 60 minutes.... which i do. so i guess thats why it's so high. thanks again! :tongue:

i'm 5'10 and 140 lbs. and my setting's at active because i am usually getting up and down on a typical day. maybe i'll try another week of eating the same and if i lose weight then i'll try to start eating what MFP recommends. but i'd really rather maintain. hmmmmm..... :ohwell:

WOW! :tongue: great job! you should be super proud of yourself!

maybe try stretching it some more before you run. and icing it might help ease the pain. but if it really hurts even after you rest... you should probably see a doctor. i hope it's nothing major and you feel better soon! :flowerforyou:

another great trick for "tummy troubles" is to drink a 1/4 cup of aloe vera juice every day. it doesnt taste terrible and it really cleans out your insides. and its SUPER LOW on calories! :happy:

wow. that movie was interesting and i had always wondered.. WHERE DOES IT GO? :laugh:

it could be that you are eating late at night.... but i looked at your food diary and it seems like you do consume a large amount of sugar...
