LOCKED TOPIC

Weight Gainers: What did YOU eat today?

I am copying the many times copied thread, "What did you eat today?" in hopes of helping some of those who are just starting to gain and have no clue what to eat. I know that when I began weight recovery, I was eating tons of low-cal foods just because that's what I was used to. I learned the hard way that dense foods are essential to weight gain when you have high caloric requirements (at one point I needed 4500 cal to maintain my weight on BEDREST). Perhaps newbies can get some ideas if we post our weight gain meal plans! Even if you're not gaining anymore, grab an old one and post it!:]
Please note that every body is different and some will need more or less calories than others to gain. This thread is just so that you can get an idea of what you need.
Oh, and yes, I'm breaking the "no calories, no portions" rule, since it is pretty helpful in this case. If you want to post cals/portions you can. I just ask that you don't post if you're not eating enough, though as this is a weight gain thread, I would hope none of you are undereating.;]
I'll start....

• 1/2 cup oatmeal (150) cooked with
• 1 cup evaporated whole milk (300)

hello everyone!! just some replys for now,

aussie thankyou!! how long i run for depends on how energetic i feel lol, but if i go to the gym its 30-40 mins at arond 6.5mph, if i run outside (we have a track down by the river which is really nice) i tend to be out for 40 mins, but i think i might run slower and ill have maybe a  min walking break halfway through!! but i always eat back what i burn! (hence the huge dinner last night!)

agruskin thankyou too, its me who does the cooking, i always enjoyed it when i was younger and because food was on my mind so much because of the ED ive actually become quite good :)

linney haha i like wine so much i have to be careful...it goes straight to my head :D but its a good thing because it oes mak me worry less and often makes me hungry (even though i dont drink that often)

Agruskin-Yeah, it can be hard to just listen to yourself when you are gaining w/o counting. Basically the only thing that helped when I was gaining but not counting was to eat at every available time. And eat a lot. I would say at least 4000 calories although I know I had days that I ate less and all. Counting can become very tedious and obsessive. Maybe eat what you want during the day and be mindful of cals, but then at night you add them up and if they are too low, have some ICE CREAM :D

Alysha_-Mmm! Yummy looking food today. Congrats :] I love go-carting!

Decempt-Welcome to CC and the forums. Although you are not trying to gain weight, we are happy to let you post here :] Well, the obvious thing to do is to up your calories, no question about it. BUT it is not as easy as it seems, although people think just EATING is the answer, but it is not at all about the food. I think that eating a "normal (diet) amount of calories" will make you feel so much better. The reason that you binge/overeat is because your body is literally starving. You starve, binge/overeat, feel bad, get depressed, do it all over again. It is a nasty cycle! The only way for you to get out of the cycle is to eat more. Give your body what it needs. Are you really in touch with your hunger "sensations," like do you know when you are hungry/satisfied? That is going to be very important. Foods that can help up your calories are avocados, olive oil added to cooking and such, real ice cream, peanut butter/nut butters, nuts, and a whole bunch of other things like dark chocolate! Mmm! You are probably not going to want to up the calories all at once b/c that can be extremely hard to do. Slow and steady wins the race right? Maybe add 100-200 calories every three days? That could be some butter on English muffin that you are already used to having! I know you said that you do not really want to take it slow, but you could have a regular calorie goal within a week or two-three. Whatever works for you though :] There will be a gain at first, BUT you will loose. When I upped my calories from ~1600-2000 to 2500(maintenance-ish) I lost about three pounds I think. Hope I have helped and the best of luck!

Gibbit-YAY! I am so glad you had a great time. I knew you would girl! :] The food there sounds amazing as well. You have good friends, holy cow bruschetta, curry? Awesome! About the sweets that are like store bought etc. I do not (like to) eat them. I agree, homemade is so much better and healthy and stuff! But I think that you have a good reason for not eating them. Are they like a FEAR FOOD or just you wanting to be healthy?(Does that even make sense? lol) Okay can I please have this cake recipe? It just sounds good!

Aquaev-Awesome! Sleepover sounded like fun. Glad you were able to enjoy yourself and I am glad your friend did not make any unnecessary comments, she sounds like a good friend :] Hey I will take that recipe, if you do not mind!

For anyone who cared about the lasagna :P-It turned out amazing! So pretty and healthy and really yummy! It definitely took some time.(around and hour and 15 minutes or so, but it was very worth it!) My brothers did not love it, but they are not huge vegetable people.(they cannot be my biological bros!) My parents and I on the other hand, LOVED IT! I cannot wait to have it as leftovers tonight :D Here is the link-

http://health.discovery.com/fansites/sara-sno w/recipes/lasagna.html

My day is going really well. I had an awesome night last night with my boyfriend.(He came over and we played bball w/ my family, wii with my brothers, then we all watched tv and then they(as in my younger bros) went to bed and we watched the O together.) Great night and I am glad my parents like him. They trust us. But we did not take him back till like 11. Ha ha, Michael Phelps swims late! Oh well. I also saw him at church this morning. Good times good times!

Breakfast:Organic oatmeal made w/ milk(did not have time for anything else, we were running late and I had to get to Sunday school!)

Lunch: Peanut butter sandwich w/ a yogurt and pretzels

Post workout snack- MILK for protein, and a small apple

I am happy. Farewell anorexia, you are gone now :D

 

psycho- Sounds like you had an awesome night! Your bf sounds really sweet. Any guy I date has to get along with my family, that's really important to me. I don't think it's so much a fear food as I just don't want all the crap that goes into them, hfcs, preservatives, hydrogenated oils, uggh, soo bad for you! Because even when the ed was worse I would eat these things in smaller quantities because I was just worried about the calories. Now I've learned a lot more about nutrition and I don't care if I eat something high calorie as long as it's better for me. Here's the recipe for the spinach cake: http://www.turkishcookbook.com/2007/01/spinac h-cake.php
mine didn't turn out that great because I used this whole grain flour I haven't used for a while and anything I make with it falls flat. I have a finer whole grain flour I need to use instead. other than that it's really good, you don't taste the spinach, it just makes the cake green. I think next time I want to make it with beets and have a pink cake!

charlieuk- wow you make me feel so lazy! Are you still managing to gain and run that much? I start to panic about losing again if I so much as go for a long walk lol. I've always loved cooking even pre-ed, but all the nutrition stuff I've learned now has really made the quality of my cooking better. I could be a gourmet chef now :)

aqua- it sounds liek you're having so much fun! yay! I love banana french toast :)

food post will be later. I'm still not counting and it's really hard today!! AARRRGGHH

linny - Thank you! :D Ive always wanted to do something about it but I felt like unless if I gave up eating so little I would never get back to my old weight.
I am still eating around 700 a day but will gladly increase once I find out more information or tried and true practices.
I read some of your previous posts from earlier this year and you have gone such a long way its so inspiring and amazing!

psychoj - I am glad to be posting, thank you for the welcome.
I do not binge or starve anymore, thankfully. But when I did I knew it was because my body was crying out for more nutrition. Which is why I decided to make the pact with myself to at least try to eat frequently, even if it wasnt much, so I could avoid being ravenous and continue the cycle.
I am in tune with when my body is hungry [about every 3 hours it nudges me to grab something] but I just dont know how much I should be eating during those periods. I try to get 200 for each meal which can sometimes be challenging mentally.
The only thing I really fret about with increasing slowly is I hear because youre not shocking your system you lose the opportunity to spike your metabolism. Thus ending up gaining more than needed before losing again. Which is why I havent increased yet. I would like to choose whichever route will kickstart my metabolism the most [adding 200 every few days or jumping up to mid-caloric goal overnight and then caloric goal a day or two later].
You have helped! Thank you for taking time to respond :]

aussie - We are in the same boat minus the direction we want the scale to go, haha. I hope everything works out wonderfully for you.

gibbit - Thats a very refreshing and beautiful sentence to read. I really hope mine can be repairing swifty and smoothly. If you dont mind me asking how did you increase your intake?

 

I hope I didnt miss anyone

AQUA-ohhh, im so excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope you read this and should probably even have sent this as a message, but im so proud of you!  youre 13, rt?  it sounds like youre having a blast, dont worry at all about not posting, youre w your friend and enjoying life, thats what it is all about!  yay!!!!!!  and yes, if possible, recipe for french toast!!!

JESS-good idea, i always have a big bed time snack anyways, so just picking a higher cal treat if needed is possible.  i know since im trying to gain there really is no such thing as too much, but i still feel like i could end up having too much if i dont count, so im torn? thanks for the recipe, it looks great!  do you know the cals? im sooooo happy youre having fun and enjoying life, as i said to AQUA, live it up!

GIBBIT-about the running and excercising, i was never an athelete or runner but my overexcercising was taking too many spin classes and ofcourse not eating enough.  part of the danger in excercising too much now i think, is that even if you eat the cals back that you burned, your metabolism is still revved up so the cal burn continues for how long? dont know?  good luck w not counting!  one day...

sun-

bagel, pb, apple, cheddar cheese ~ 430

strawberry shortcake ic cream bar -180

cheese sandwich, avocado, sweet potato, lettuce+tomato, cherry tomatos and brussel sprouts, brown cow yogurt, keebler pretzel+cheese snack pack, plum ~500

Decempt-Glad I could help :]

Gibbit-That sounds exactly like me! I do not fear it really, but I know that it is not good for my body and I want my "tank" to [make me] run very smoothly! That cake sounds really good. Thanks so much!

Oh and I just had another snack b/c I was HUNGRY! Take that ed :D BYE-BYE!

Snack-Banana!

EDIT!

Agruskin-I do not know the calories exactly, but I cannot really imagine it being more than ~400-500 calories for like an 10th or so. I thought that it was going to be very caloric but after thinking about it, the only really high cal thing in there is all the cheese! Other than that it is mushrooms, onions, and squash cooked around with some olive oil, but only like 3 T.

ha-JESS, just put it into the recipe analyzer and subbed some of the cheese for reduced fat and made it 8 servings, its something like 570 cals.

Agruskin-Yeah I have been trying to figure it out for you for like 20 minutes lol. I came up with ~700 the first, then the second like 500. You really probably would not be able to eat an eighth of it. It is really big and filling. I am a big eater and I had like an eighth maybe less! But I was just freaking out about the calories and I told myself to just shut it! I need them and it was pretty healthy, I mean I used whole wheat organic noodles, olive oil, veggies, organic cheese. Goodness, why do I freak out when I find out it was higher than I would have liked?! See, calorie counting messes with my brain >.<

hello everybody!

Jess: go you!  You are such an inspiration, I think you're amazing!  Keep it up!

Decempt: You've made such a big step forward in just looking for help - keep going and don't be afraid to look for support.

Gibbet: I am going to try your spinach cake tomorrow-it sounds amazing...I make a similar thing I think called torta d'erbe which is lie leeks and things in between pastry - hen I'm feeling brave I add ricotta!

hmmm, I'm not doing so well today, do you think it's possible to get backlash before starting something?I have a doctor's appointment on tuesday so decided that I would get weighed, measured, bloods done, all that jazz, and then start eating 2,500 calories a day, but I'm already getting backlash, thinking I'm fat, looking in the mirror and just seeing a blob. Booo.

Brekkers: punnet of strawberries

Lunch: Broad bean and beetroot couscous salad with a french dressing

Snack: frozen grapes

Dinner: jacket potato, tuna and a big salad...haven't done much cooking today but didn't have the energy - had a great day though, went shopping for like 5 hours round west quay - knackered now, shopping really is a sport!  Will try and have something before I go to bed though.  Had a good time in costas making people at adjacent tables feel uncomfortable: was explaining the backlash thing to my friend and she was just like "hmmm, I think you just need a new hobby", and I laughed (I have the loudest laugh) and said, "what, like horticulture or something?" and she said, really loudly, because people  were looking: "Yeah, like, hi, my name's rose, last year I was anorexic, but this year I'm more into ornamental shrubbery...." and then we laughed like drains!

What's E.T short for?

He's got little legs.

hahahaha

Agru: Well done on your birthday, sounds like you did really well trying to enjoy yourself, be sociable, not anxious etc.

Charlieuk: Thank you for the info! Will look for almond milk in waitrose next time or if I pop into Oxford tomorrow I'll get it in Holland and Barret, is it nice to drink on it's own, slightly sweet? What weight did you have to get to before you started running again? Or did you just decide to yourself? I really want to get running again....so jealous

Suzyroo: Welcome back! Cornwall sounds fab, I'm off on hols next week myself, eeeeeeeek!!!

Peanut butter: I know how you feel about eating when others aren't, I absolutely hate it, I'm always thinking "why should I have to eat if you're not?" Causes serious problems though and bad relationship with my father who I currently despise as he eats hardly anything, and weighs max 100lbs at 5ft 6.

Aussie: sound like good upping ideas. I upped 2 weeks ago to 2000 cals from 1400/1700 and the first week I gained nearly 1.5lbs! I managed to stick it out and keep to 2000 though this week and tomorrow will find out if I gained the same again, or more, or less. I think I could cope with a gain of 1lb a week maybe so hopefully it will slow down a little. Soooo currently I don't need to up the  intake!

Gibbit: The potluck thing sounds  a lot of fun, all the diff dishes sound good too. I don't think the thing about the prepackaged sweets is too much of a problem as long as you don't worry about it too much ( so perhaps it just needs loosening up a little!) I can relate, I much prefer to have homemade stuff although I do have prepackaged things but I tend to feel icky afterwards. (Although it's weird as I don't mind taking the Ensure plus?)

Aquaev: Great times with friends that's what life is all about, I have been so neglectful of my friends for months now, it's really sad what this ed has taken away from me. It is such a struggle being in friends' company I don't know why, I just can't relax and just be me...it's like I don't know who me is anymore??

Psychoj: I cared about the lasagna!! So glad you had a good time with the bf.  You said  I am happy. Farewell anorexia, you are gone now :D. I'm a bit lost with all the diff people here. Are you at maintenance now?

Decempt: Good on you for wanting to do things healthily. If it helps anything, I spent a good few months eating between 500 and 1000 but probably a year before that eating under 1000 most days. When I started out on recovery I weighed pretty much the same as now, I kept mucking about with the intake up a bit down a bit but a general gradual upwards trend in cals until I'm at 2000 now and hopefully will gain consistently there....( Should be a bit reassuring that you can up the cals and stay the same, although that's not what i want to happen for me!)

Theo: Yes had the backlash, before I upped to 2000 had huge fat feelings, BUT pushed past them and 2 weeks in i'm still eating 2000 daily! Yay! You're posts always make me giggle, although I had to read the "E.T" joke like 1 times before I got it! Hehe I'm so silly!

As for me, I guess I'm a little tense this evening as I'm weighing in tomorrow after another week of eating 2000, after I first upped the intake I gained almost 1.5lbs in a week. I know it's good for it to go up, but that fast is a little scary, I would prefer 1lb a week...we'll see....The anxiety always comes out in stupid ways like I started hysterically crying because the tsp I ALWAYS use to eat my yoghurt was missing and it just set me off. I know it doesn't matter but it felt like the world was ending.

Also getting really worried about going away next Sat on hols with my family. We're off to Ibiza (the nice part not the crazy club scene!) for 2 weeks and will be staying in a villa so at least we'll be doing some of our own cooking, but going out to eat a lot. I'm taking Ensure with me but just scared of how to go about things. Do I try and get to 2000 anyway even though we'll probably just be lazing around in the sun and "relaxing" on the beach? Or do i eat less? Without a comp and eating stuff I'm not used to though how will I know how much I'm eating? I don't want to undereat or overeat? Help anyone?????

Excuse the long post:

Finally here's today's food

B: All bran with prunes on top, Kid's innocent smoothie

S: Ensure plus coffe flavour

L: Spiced Tofu with soya beans and udon noodles, Pink lady apple

S1: 2 small homemade welsh cakes

S2: Ensure plus blackcurrant flavour

D: tuna fishcake with broad beans and cherry tomatoes, Activia vanilla yoghurt (with the wrong tsp!)

S: Options hot chocolate made with 200ml semiskimmed milk and homemade oatmeal-raisin cookie.

TOTAL: 2020!!!

 

lol! theo- that just made me laugh, your friend sounds really nice and understanding. I sometimes wish I would just tell one of my friends so I'd have someone to talk to. Plus it's good to be able to joke about this since it's such a serious thing and can really get us down sometimes. I love your jokes at the end of your posts too! You're probably just getting scared about eating more and that's normal. Sort of like how I freak out before something big like a potluck, or I'm going out to dinner tonight and I'm already anxious about it. But then once you do it you feel so much better. You are not a blob! You are beautiful (and i'm not just saying that, I've looked at your picture!) and just imagine you'll be even more beautiful when you're healthy, and more importantly you will feel better!

decempt- I'm doing this on my own, no therapists or doctors, so I think it was just sort of gradual. I didn't decide to up by any specific amount because I've never had a specifi calorie goal to start with so it varies. When I first started recovering I think I went straight to about 2000 a day though and just increased as I started feeling better and trying new foods. It really doesn't make a difference how fast you do it, it's just a matter of how comfortable you are. Your stomach probably can't handle too much food at once right now so just try adding more a little at a time so your stomach gets more accustomed to digesting without too much discomfort.

my stomach hurts today :\ don't know why, and I sooooooo want to count today, why why why?!?!?! I will NOT do it!

headingup - It helps alot to hear other peoples stories in similar situations. Im glad you are getting healthy now!
Congrats for getting up to 2000 :D  It is very reassuring. I am freaking out and losing my mind over this. I want to increase, but dont want to too much, but also dont want to undershoot while teetering and tottering and gain more when I could have saved myself the extra baggage.
Did you ever experience weight loss at a specific intake after you had increased your calories?
Good luck with weigh-in tomorrow! Dont fret too much, Im sure you will do well. :]

gibbit - I am also doing this alone so it is comforting that so many other posters here are as well. What was it like increasing to 2000 so fast? And if you dont mind me asking what were you upping it from?
I would like to start an overnight switch from 800 to 1500 next week once I have found as much info possible and absorbed it all but Im just so rattled with the thought of actually doing it. I always like to pretend Im not super obsessed and overtaken by 'scary' thoughts but I suppose I know deep down that I am.
I hope your stomach starts feeling better! Ive been getting reflux lately ouuuchh

 

Also I have a hurdle at home that might stand in my way.

My aunt, who denies being eating disordered, has some serious preoccupations with food. She weighs roughly 100lbs more than me [she has lost 140] but has one of the most vicious starve/binge cycle renditions I have ever witnessed. She says the only way that SHE can lose weight is by 'starving herself' and she could never eat frequently like me. That genetically she was just born different and she will never be able to eat a normal about of calories.

But I know if I were shooting for 1500 a day she would snicker about me and raise her eyebrows and once I have that initial gain [Oh G-d please let it be small and short lived] she will have the biggest 'told-you-so' attitude ever.
I dont think I can deal with the added pressure of her, not to mention Im broke so all I really have to gain with is frozen veggies, 2 chicken breasts, condiments and tons of carbs until next month.

Does taking in a majority of carbs in a persons diet affect it in any way?

carried on frm earlier post...

Lunch: alot of couscous, carrot, 14g raisins

Dinner: Veg stir fry, jacket spud

Eve: 3/4 cup golden nuggets cereal, slice rye bread with honey, 3 jacobs cream cracker

Headingup-I am no longer gaining, yes. I am growing though so I will gain b/c I am a teen still! I am just trying to listen to myself and give my body the nutrients it needs to grow and be healthy. I no longer count. I just rely on what my body wants and tells me :]

hi everyone-

just went to 2 stores looking for the hersheys TAKE FIVE candy bar- no one had it!!!  so mad!  i may just go back out again to find it bc im so craving it! lol  ive been eating 4 blocks of the hershey's extra dark chocolate w/ nuts and berries and remembered it as about 110 cals, but i just went to log it, and it came up as 3 blocks for 170!  lol, that seems awfully high, i threw out the wrapper so i cant check and the hersheys site also says 3 blocks=170, i just still dont believe it tho and think tomm when i get more candy anyway, ill check, but that cant beright?!

i also met up w a friend who was at her boyfirend's house and we hung out and talked for about an hour.  i sitll get spacey and have trouble concentrating in the covo for some reason, but i think its important for those that may have become anti socail to begin to actively try and become social again, and that it will deff take practice, unfortuantely!

GIBBIT-ugh, my stomach too, all backed up??!!  why???  im eating so much, how is it not just oushed out, i dont get it?!  just dont restrict, i wont let myself and either will you!  kep up the great work!  oh, my mother came home w/ natural almond butter like homemade from a store, it had a really grainy consistancy and not sweet at all, dont think i really liked it.

HEADINGUP-hey!  so vacation, youre going to be way more active than you think, touring, walking on the beach, shopping...youll probably burn more calories than ussual, i say eat at least what you have been, and more since you should still be increasing your cals every so often, rt?  the initial gain is sometiems due to water weight re,eber, dont restrict, we want to gain and recover, rt??!!  oh boy, and certain silverware etc, me too!

JESS-dont freak about the cals!!!it was all healthy cals like you said!!  youre eating, living life, and have passed the counting cal phase, keep it up!!!!!

woah baby im soooo behind here.  Just scanned through this quickly, Disney has me on a tight leash over here, so not much time! Congrats everyone, marvelous progress is being made!  Welcome all new members, just keep increasing and you'll feel much better in no time, keep up the good work!! Decempt, I know you can do it girl, prove to yourself that there is no hurle you can't overcome.  Happy belated birthday Agru.  Looks like you have come a long way.  I think I started posting on the boards right around the same time as you and although I don't really know you I feel like you've changed so much (in a gopd way).  You really are on your way to recovery and I really admire your hard work. Psychoj, very impressive I wish I could officially say goodbye to the ED and be a noncounter.  THe lasagna sounds superb!  I guess it will come for the rest of us in time.

So Im here in Disney still and it looks like a huge storm is a-coming.  I have two days off before I get to start working the night shifts (oh lucky me, I get to be in Magic Kingdom from 5:30PM-2:15AM) really I kid it's not so bad.

Jeeeeeeeeeeez you guys! Slow it down a bit!

For whoever wanted the Banana stuffed french toast recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/27943

Psycho- Yeah, she's one of my best friends. Glad you had a nice night w/ your BF last night! It's great that your parents like him. And I am so so SO SO SO HAPPY for you for being free of anorexia.

agru- Hehe thanks. Yep, I'm 13. I hope I can do that more often.. I mean just hang out with friends and not worry about food.

theo- Sorry you are having the backlash. Everyone gets it after a noticeable weight gain. NOT suggesting that you've gained so much weight that you're now fat! Just remind yourself that the reason that you're on this forum is that your body needs to gain weight, and you'll be healthy and happy when you're done.

Blah sorry sorry sorry everyone gotta dash off now. Can't answer all the comments. I'll be on tomorrow for sure.

Busy day today. Did a little school supply shopping, and got some gym shoes. Then we went berry picking (again!) and got raspberries and blackberries. Afterwards we went to Whole Foods then to my regular supermarket.

Agruskin-Thanks! Yeah, I have gotten over my freak out. I am loving life, and food is a part of life, but not an area where I need to get obsessed with! Yeah I became very anti-social as well. I did not go to class movies, class get together things, anything! I am much more social now and I love it! Keep up your awesome work!

I am very tired. In addition to that I am not feeling so great >.< (Headache, and stomach-ache) I think it all leads back to the fact that I have not been getting adequate sleep. Grr, I need more! Oh well school starts on Wednesday and I have to go to bed earlier then!

EDIT!

Aquaev-Hey! Thanks so much for what you said :] OH it was me who wanted the recipe! Thanks again. Your day sounded perfect to me!!! Have a good night...

High School Musical TWO is on!!! :P Haha, it is kind of entertaining, although I probably would not really admit that to my friends :D

Will post what I have eaten later!

hey everyone- very happy for those of you finding success w/ recovery and for those struggling at the moment, it is all part of the process, keep on fighting!  it will get better!

well yes, the chocolate that i thought to be 100ish cals, is more like 200, oh well!  yup, thats it, no skin off my back!  awesome!  yes, if i was not trying to gain weight, this may be a prob, but its not bc 100 extra cals is what i need now!  so, out of the 3 ppl in my house, im the only 1 eating dinner, is this normal??  i hate when my mother doesnt eat, it drives me freakin nuts and makes me not want to eat, but i will!  i just hate it so much!

AERO-disney-yay!!!! busy is good, i think is schedule is very helpful!  how is your recovery coming along??  thank you for what you said, it means a lot and i do really really hope im on my way to recovery!
