@SharonCMach Couple questions and comments for you… 1) What is 'real food'? 2) Since when does 'real food' not have any calories? 3) You can gain weight eating ANY food if you are eating above maintenance. 4) Fruits, vegetables, lean meats, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and grains are all 'real foods' and one can most certainly…

You don't know if it really works for what…?

Read the OP. She is trying to GAIN weight, hence why she needs to increase her calories.

You won't get muscle when you are underweight? LOL. That's bullsh!t. I was 5'2", 95-97 lbs, and 11% body fat.

Based on your OP (original post), you don't have a healthy relationship with food. You need to seek psychiatric help from a professional who specializes in eating disorders. You are going to have an extremely difficult time putting on weight without eating "refined sugar" and "junk." While recovering from an eating…

You handsome devil, you

You would lose muscle eating just broccoli all day, too.

Maybe you should try speaking with a psychiatrist or psychologist to learn ways to cope with stress.

It is doubtful that are you burning a little less than 200 calories in 20 minutes on a stationary bike. If you are in a calorie deficit, yes, you should lose weight. Remember to log your food consistently and honestly and use a food scale to weigh all food you consume. Measuring cups and spoons should only be used for…

Greek yogurt Nuts Seeds Beef jerky Ostrim meat sticks Hard boiled eggs Protein bars Protein shakes Cheese

They work by causing internal organ damage…

Isn't this diet the one that allows you to eat an unlimited quantity of meat, fish, pasta, potatoes, rice, eggs, fruits, and veggies? NO food has zero calories. Pasta has 200 calories per serving. And let me tell you that the serving isn't very large so it is very easy to overeat. You aren't losing weight because this…

Your food diary is full of carbs/sugar but barely any protein and fat. I also don't see many vegetables in your diet. Overall, you need to increase your protein and fat intake. Some options: Chicken breast Ground beef Ground turkey breast Turkey bacon Turkey breast Lentils Beans Cheese Nuts/seeds Salmon Shrimp Tuna

Unless you have diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, or PCOS, there's no reason to worry about sugar.

Try 20% carbs, 50% fat, 30% protein.

50% carbs isn't low carb...

You said fast/junk food is bad for your heart… Do you have a heart condition?

60 grams of carbs is NOT moderate. It is LOW. And your body's second source of energy is from fat; not protein.

Wings. Alcohol/wine is nasty

Push Cart Cafe & Pizzeria for the win!

Try Melatonin. And see a sleep specialist.

* Rice * Chicken and eggs are easy to digest * Protein shakes with 1000+ calories per serving (Look at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe) * Add olive oil to everything you can * Avocados * Bananas * Bread Also, talk to his oncologist about Zofran and digestive enzymes.

1300-1500 calories is much too low for a male. What is your weight and height?

The USDA one.

I work for Planned Parenthood and we typically don't push our patients to get the Depo simply because most don't tolerate it well. Have you tried other forms of birth control? Such as the pill or Implanon?

There's no reason to take all of those pills. You may be causing more harm to your body. There is such thing as vitamin/supplement overdose. I take Metagenics phyto multivitamin, Wellness Formula by Source Naturals, and Align probiotic. When my potassium and magnesium levels are low due to Crohn's disease, I take a…

I don't think half of the people who say they are seeing a registered dietitian actually are. I think they are seeing a nutritionist based on the BS they spew :#

I'm sorry but you don't speak for anyone but yourself. LOTS of people see obesity as a long term health problem, hence why thousands are here losing significant amounts of weight. ETA after seeing I got flagged for "abuse": Using the flag system when it is not necessary can result in being banned from the forums. I'm not…

This is not relevant. You NEED that medication in order to keep yourself from going into a diabetic coma. No one NEEDS diet pills. All they NEED is a calorie deficit.

I dice them, roast in oven, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
