Need help GAINING weight
No tomatoes please My husband is Type 1 diabetic and just had a kidney transplant. He's super high on the list in our state (Iowa) to have a pancreas transplant but since they'll be starving him (tube feeds only) for 3-5 days it's recommended that he gain between 10 and 30lbs between now and surgery.

But on nice days (generally 3-4 times a…

As a baby gets older surely the calories burned goes down? For example, my son is 16 months old. I've never really kept track but…

Help me eat please?
Okay this may sound silly but I am REALLY struggling with meeting my calorie goal. I am routinely eating under 1,000 calories and I know this is not good...especially since I am breastfeeding (16 months old) and I lead a VERY active lifestyle with 3 kids (we do not have a car currently so we walk everywhere, I either wear…
