Weight gainers! What did YOU eat today? Feb 2 - April 20

Please make sure you thoroughly read and accept the rules before posting!

RULES: 

• Do not post here if you are not reaching 2500+ calories (3000+ for adult men). Teens must reach 3000 a day minimum.  We strongly recommend 3000+ to gain.

• No partial meal plans. Only post complete daily intakes.
  
  
• If you post below the minimum, the posts will be removed

• REMEMBER TO EITHER POST THE CALORIE TALLIES OR THE PORTION SIZES!

• Also remember we do not support you using alcohol as a calorie substitute. So if you reach 2500+ with alcohol in your diet, eat a little more to make up for it.

• If you are struggling to reach the necessary amount (and everyone has at some point) then please post a separate thread w/ questions.  This is not the place for negative self-talk, nor should any foods be considered bad, unhealthy, or junk -- the goal here is to gain weight to be healthy

• Do not post links to your personal blog.

• Do not discuss weights or personal BMIs -- this is very triggering

--------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

This thread is for those of you looking to actively gain weight for whatever reason.

Requirements- If you are a male you need to eat at least 3000 calories, females must eat 2500 -this is so that your body can begin to now only gain weight, but also for your internal organs to begin to recover, this takes fuel/calories. Teens need to eat at least 3000.

It is NOT suggested that you excercise while underweight.  Exercise is often an addiction seen with those with eating disorders. Try to stop cold turkey, IF you exercise, 2500/3000 is NOT enough.  You are only harming yourself+prolonging the illness by exercising.

If you are struggling to reach the necessary amount, and you all did, then please post a separate thread w/ questions.  It is harmful for people to see posts that are under the food requirement amount.  There are suggestions on this forum regarding higher calorie+denser foods that should be incorporated to aid in reaching calorie goals.

Thank lola! I guess I did need it... 

I´d like to say that  I´m going to swimming lessons right now ´cause I´ve discovered it really soothes me out... I just have very long stressing days at school + some courses I´m taking and I find myself out of energy at the end of both, but then when I go to swim I come out, get dressed, have a nice little dinner and I feel much better, so I´d rather not leave it... plus I figured it´d help me build some muscle... am I wrong?

Anyway, thank you for the comment! You make me feel better :]  How´re you doing!? Hope fantastic! Cheers :]
