  • Same here. I'm 21, 5'5, never weighed more than 100lbs until recently. Knowing how many calories I actually have to eat in a day (2500+ calories) has been eye opening, also weighing food helps because I know if I'm under eating or not. You can work out your TDEE online and add 500 to that number, that gives you a rough…
    in Weight Gain Journey Comment by mszsun April 2016
  • Yes I'm interested! I've been underweight for many years now and really want to change things. I'm aiming to gain about 20lbs so I can be a healthy weight. It's a big struggle for me but I'm really sick of having no energy and looking so gaunt. Feel free to add me if you like, I would love the support and to support others…

  • Bananas are great! I eat a lot of them and reach my daily intake of potassium most days.

  • Your body is probably adjusting to eating more calories than you're used to, so you may be getting indigestion. Carry on with what your doing and be consistent with when you eat and how much you eat, it's all you can do for now. Also, you're most likely maintaining your weight rather than gaining. It might be hard with…

  • I'm about 5'5 and I'm aiming to reach 130lbs. I've been underweight my whole life and I really want to change.

  • There's more than one! I absolutely cannot stand the taste of mangoes and raw tomatoes. Without heavy seasoning, cooked egg whites just taste like crap. Canned peas, raisins, sweetcorn, over ripe bananas... Other than that, I can tolerate most foods. Although I think raw vegetables taste very bland. Leafy greens like…
    in that one healthy food you hate... Comment by mszsun June 2014
  • I've also been diagnosed with IBS in the past but it was a misdiagnosis. I agree with you, I think my diet is limited in fibre and higher in fat so I definitely need to fix this! I'm fine with eating meat in large quantities but dairy is a problem. When I drink milk or eat anything with large quantities of milk in it, I…

  • All of the suggestions already given to you are good. I especially agree with eating more nuts (if you don't have any allergies). Macadamia Nuts are a good choice, very calorie dense...something like 700 calories from 100g? I can eat all of that without feeling too full and I got to say I can't eat large portion meals so…
    in Struggling with calories Comment by mszsun June 2014
  • I completely understand what you're going through. I've had anxiety problems for a few years now and a lot of the time I don't want to eat too much because of my lack of appetite and nausea. Eating foods you're comfortable with in larger portions could help. Things like avocado's and macadamia nuts are high in calories and…
    in Gaining weight with a sensitive/picky stomach? Comment by mszsun June 2014
  • I haven't paid a lot of attention to how much fat I've been consuming but I can see that it is slightly disproportionate, so I will work on adding more fibre rich foods into my diet. I normally consume enough protein because I eat a lot of meat, but for the last few days I've been eating leftover stuff in the house (this…
