Appetite Increases
Hi All, The past few weeks, I have had a majorly increased appetite. No big deal, because I my goal is weight gain, but does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be? I'm a distance runner and just finished up a training cycle with a 50k race on 3/7. I was thinking it may have been a metabolic response? The thing with…

How do people keep it up? (Weight gain)
Hey all, So I am currently in recovery from an ED (male, 5'8", 119 lbs), and I was just wondering how other people (regardless of whether the goal is gaining, maintaining or losing) keep at it, even when it may be really uncomfortable? Obviously, it will be different for everybody, but I'm just having a hard time hitting…

Anyone else have days where they don't get full??
Hello all, Obviously, this isn't the worst problem for someone to have when the goal is weight gain, but I just wanted to make sure it was normal(ish) to have days where there is almost no satiation (or maybe have it, but it is very fleeting). I have been eating good, filling foods, but I just feel like I should be more…

Should I bother counting calories?
Soo I am trying to gain weight and I can't decide whether or not tracking my calories for the day is going to cause more harm than good. I am trying to recover from a restrictive eating disorder (still a work in progress) coupled with compulsive exercise tendencies (which I have somewhat gotten under control). The thing…

ED weight restoration via lean muscle. How does that work?
Hi All, I am a male, 20 years old, 5'8" and about 116-120 lbs. I just got out of an ED program, but unfortunately it was because of insurance issues rather than being really ready. My goal is still to gain weight, preferably mostly lean muscle, but I really don't know what that means in the context of pairing with…
