Thank you so so much! 🙂

Hi as someone who needs to gain weight and likes fish I would like the 900 calorie fish recipe if you don't mind because the fish recipes I find are less than 500 😭

**You can not control your body shape much through natural means because you can not control your skeletal structure which is largely responsible for how your body distributes your weight** it is best to understand this early so you don't beat yourself up for not being able to achieve a shape your body is literally not…

A cut is when you lose weight to let the work of bulking really shine through. So if you're currently getting rid of the "squishy parts" then you are already cutting. I'm pretty sure refeeding is basically when you give yourself a high carb and/or calorie day here and there so you don't hate the decision to cut before you…

It basically means "you just said some crazy sh*"

Girl tell me about it. How many times I've heard "here, have mine." 🙄

I think that she said because if this girl is making progress with what she's eating, then she obviously needs to eat more. Not like some kind of contest

A few weeks is 3-5 weeks. If someone isn't gaining ANY weight for that long, and their goal is to gain weight, they should definitely up their calories.

I don't. I get up, use the potty, grab water, work out. If it isn't the first thing I do, I will not do it.

To gain muscle, you have to gain weight. That is the sad truth for many whose sole goal is bigger muscles and the happy truth for people like me who miss a curvier body they once had. If you're scared of fat gain, you can keep it to .5 lb per week. It's not a race. It's a journey. Just remember, you can always cut slowly…

I'm with you there but I am going to start working out just cause I miss it

I've been using eatthismuch to plan my meals. You can adjust almost anything with the settings. Calories, macros, foods to ignore, your preferences for cooking difficulty per meal, price point, and more. And that's in the free version, which I use. The only downside to the free version is that you can't plan ahead, or…

I'm going by articles that have been published in the last month,that went in depth into what your definition really means. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with eating what you want when you want. I'm just saying that if the way you eat stops at that, it isn't intuitive eating yet.

Considering yourself an intuitive eater doesn't make you an intuitive eater. And being an intuitive eater doesn't mean never eating junk. It means basing when and what you eat on how those times and foods make you feel: physically, mentally, and emotionally.

If half of what you eat is junk, you're not an intuitive eater. You eat whenever and whatever you want. I don't understand why intuitive eating has become so misunderstood. It's simple: you eat when you're hungry and the food you eat is based on how it will make you feel after eating it, minutes hours days and potentially…

Intuitive eating is not for the person who is focusing on numbers, in any capacity. At it's core, you eat how much you need to eat AND consider how your body feels after those foods. It actually goes a step PASSED mindful eating. Mindful eating is only about how you feel while you're eating. It has nothing to do with how…

As someone who struggles to WANT to eat as much as I need to gain weight, I've gained a few pounds and then quickly lost them over the last few years many, many times. And every time I fell off the wagon, the answer was always eat more. You use measuring cups, great. But that doesn't stop the calories from being a little…

I would say, you should wear clothes that fit if you want to be comfortable in how your body is changing in the long run. You don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe though, since you know you have more to gain. You can just get a few key pieces

Oh also I use bodbot to generate my workouts so I don't have to think about what to do because same. I just put in my goals and when I could work out and how much time I was willing to put in each week, it did the rest. I love it. There's even rest timers. It's kind of perfect for me, as someone who hates making decisions…

On the one hand, you're autistic and don't want to change your routine. On the other hand, you're autistic and you have already changed your routine to include working out. Would looking at it that way make it any easier to *consider * changing how you work out?

This. I leave my scale in one spot. I don't put it away or anything. I noticed that I could move my scale 1 inch over on my floor and it reads a couple to few pounds different in the same minute.

Just Google homemade weight gain shakes recipe. You'll find a lot. I don't usually have yogurt on hand so I'll replace it with ice cream (I've found that in a lot of recipes). You can replace or add whatever your want. Use those recipes as guidelines

Shakey shake shakes. Lol seriously I made a shake today that was something like 700 calories and I just drank it alongside lunch. Also on days where I didn't eat as much as I should, I'll go into the bodega and get the snack that is cheapest with the most calories. Go-to is iced honey buns. 50¢ for one and 470 calories (:

Working in a restaurant I definitely say to use very active right off the bat

As someone also with asthma I can confirm. But it's not so much that it's particularly significant. Think about the fact that some form of steroids is in most asthma medication, the extra work your lungs have to do in order to perform like everyone else's, plus the way most asthma medications make your heart race.

Why does that make make you less excited?

Yes you need to eat those calories back. The active or very active or whatever you chose is your lifestyle sans workouts

I'm glad

I'm getting at least 2210 in on average everyday (its easier to look at the week average then a daily basis which is more important in the long-term anyway) so I'm going to let you know what I do. I first got .8g per lb of protein, then .6 for fat, then filled in the rest with carbs and tweaked my macros (opting for…
