I want to maintain my weight of 48-49.5kg

 Just wanted to add that if you try to maintain that weight you might stunt your growth.  Many teens need to grow wider before they grow tall, so if your body feels hungry, feed it.

The saturated fat from coconut oil in the movie popcorn isn't actually bad. Coconut oil has been shown to have many health benefits.  So while the calories and fat in that movie popcorn might be high, the saturated fat isn't comparable to that of a rack of ribs, or dairy, ect.

1. Peanut butter

2. Triscuits

3. Whole wheat bread

4. Yogurt (usually 3%)

5. Granola/energy bars (Clif, Lara, Kashi, BioProtein...)

6. Lean meats-- Chicken, steak, lean beef (my brother's a bodybuilder so we have this like every day...)

7. Bananas & apples

8. Broccoli & carrots with hummus

9. CHEEEEEEESE

10. milk

S: 2 servings triscuits, 4 T PB, Ice cream, Zucchini bread, 1% milk 900

Total = 2710

I tried to measure accurately today, because I'd always kind of just estimated my portions so I wanted to make sure I wasn't overestimating.  This looks like a good amount for my activity I think (I go on the exercise bike for 15-25 minutes every night).

Wow I must be addicted to peanut butter... 7 tablespoons in a day XD and this is what I have everyday... Is it bad to have to have this much?

B: Cheerios & Hemp granola in milk

S: Cookies & cream crispy rice bar

L: Flat out tortilla with cheese, veg, turkey; pepperoni stick; snap peas

S: Pack of glosettes; wheat thins with peanut butter; veg with hummus; slab of zucchini bread

D: Flat out wrap with turkey, veg, ranch, salsa; veg with hummus; more wheat thins with pb

S: Trail mix, cookie dough ice cream, cottage cheese

Wow my menu is so boring and repetitive :P  I'll try to make tastier and more various stuff!

Pierogies! (if you haven't heard of them, similar to chinese dumplings... but filled with cheese, and pan-fried)

For the longest time I thought I hated them but they're delicious!

B: Thick slice of toast with PB; grapes; trail mix bar ~450

L: Wholegrain tortilla with ham, ranch, veggies; snap peas ~300

S: Chocolate almond fudge Clif bar; fruit leather bar; triscuits and veg with hummus ~600

D: 3 slices 3-meat Costco pizza (babysitting)

S: Apple; triscuits with PB; banana chips 

If you really want to get rid of obsessive calorie-counting, just make sure you have 6 good-sized meals/snacks a day, and use calorie-dense foods liberally -- e.g. oil, peanut butter, cheese.  If you don't gain the first few weeks then just add more.  However if you don't trsut yourself to eat at least 2500 then don't do this. 

Olives, saurkraut, and any extremely salty food (for example, a pack of sausages my parents bought that had 50% DV sodium per 150 cal sausage!)

Don't worry, this is completely normal.  On my first week of gaining I gained 3 pounds at 2500.  However after my metabolism speeded up I was gaining a pound a week at 3500.  It just takes some time for your metabolism to adjust to your higher intake.  It could also be water weight, fluctuations, food weight. Personally, my weight varies by 3 pounds from day to day.

Breakfast: 1 whole wheat toast with sunflower butter; 4 triscuits with almond butter; a kiwi

Lunch: 6" Chicken Bacon Ranch subway sandwich, on parmesan oregano bread

Snack: An apple, veggies with hummus, more triscuits with almond butter

Dinner: A Kashi peanut bar and a fried chicken sandwich

Snack: Strawberry 3% yogurt; more triscuits with almond butter

Is having a lot of calories from fat (40%) bad, even if they're from mostly healthy sources? (nuts, olive oil)

Breakfast - 2 pieces ww toast with sunflower seed butter

Snack - Kashi Cherry Dark chocolate bar

Lunch - Egg salad sandwich (egg, yogurt, lettuce) and a Detour caramel peanut bar

Snacks - Fibre 1 Oats & PB bar, an apple, PB out of the jar

Dinner - Breaded baked chicken; rice; steamed veg

Snacks - 2 Nature's path toaster strudels; a nutella & jam sandwich on thick flaxbread; 2% milk

I kinda sorta have a girlfriend! woo! I don't know why I'm saying this here but I guess I could call it 'inspirational', I doubt it would have happened if I was still a grumpy, skinny sack of bones :p haha gooo me!
