To preface, I kind of know the answer to this. I’ve put on weight before but I was hoping to get advice on how to go about better/more efficiently. I guess my question is really: what are healthy high calorie foods I can use to put on weight?
I’ve been underweight pretty much my entire life. I don’t think I have a chronic eating disorder, but there are times where I just don’t want to eat. I believe, however, that’s actually not my largest issue.
I’m potentially too health conscious. I’m vegetarian by accident (So I dated this girl right…) mostly, and as a result I eat a lot of nutrient-dense but calorically-low foods. I’m currently sitting just under 56kg (125 lbs) at 180cm (5’11ish). My plan currently is to just eat more often, and slowly ramp up how much I eat at each meal. About 6 years back I managed to hit 77kg by eating 4/5 large meals per day but then lost it all over the years by being sedentary and losing my appetite.
I’ve been meaning to pick up some Mass Gainer for this reason. Right now, I’ve been drinking those breakfast shake thingies as snacks because they’re like 300 calories. Only issue, they’re pretty nutrient-dense so they sit heavy in my stomach.
Supplements will be getting a more thorough look-through once I have a bit more liquid on hand to do so
If it’s only 300 calories, it’s probably a diet shake and packed full of fiber to make you feel full. You’re better off switching to normal milkshakes.
As you’re vegetarian, I would get really into dahl cooked with ghee. It’s incredibly tasty and has so many calories.
Damn I never even thought to check that. Normal milkshakes will be the future.
To the archives! There’s learning to be done (I have no idea what that is so I’m gonna go look it up lol)
