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....
Breakfast (875 cal)*
- 1/2 cup oatmeal (150) cooked with
- 1 cup evaporated whole milk (300)
- 1 mashed banana (100)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (200)

- 1 hard-boiled egg (75 cal)
Morning Snack (300 cal)*
- 1/4 cup mixed nuts (200)
- 1/4 cup dried apricots (100)
Lunch (660 cal)*
- 1/4 cup rice cooked in 1 cup chicken stock (300) and
- 1/2 cup canned or cooked chickpeas (145) and
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese (150) and
- 1/4 cup each onion, peppers, and tomato (30) cooked with
- 1 tbsp olive oil and curry powder to taste (120)
Afternoon snack (390 cal)*
- 1 serving baby carrots (35)
- 1/4 cup hummus (155)
- 1/4 cup mixed nuts (200)
Dinner (875 cal)*

toast x 3: All my nutrition knowledge is due to OCD as well. As far as soy milk goes, from everything I have read, cow's milk is superior, providing you are not lactose intolerant or averse to animal products. Although most soy milk is fortified with calcium and vitamin D the naturally occurring calcium found in cow's milk is better absorbed by the body. Additionally, many varities of the soy stuff have added sugar where as the sugar in cow's milk comes from lactose, sugar, yes, but different in my book from cane juice. Personally, I like cow's milk on my cereal because of its neutral flavor but I prefer the taste of soy if I am drinking it straight or in smoothies. There is some research to suggest the isoflavones in soy products may protect against breast cancer. Also, I have recently switched some of my nonfat soy for unsweetened whole soy to bump up my fat intake and, admittedly, because of the unsweetened's lower sodium content (way, way too paranoid about sodium.) I have read so much negative material about saturated fat so have used nonfat dairy products for years but some of the people on this site have found research to the contrary, that the sat fat found in dairy may not be as unhealthy as reputed. In fact, CLA, the fat prevalent in dairy foods may even burn fat. I would really like to believe this because I miss cheese but have been too scared to wean myself away from the skim products.
arghh what is wrong with me?! I don't sleep anymore (at most 3.5 hrs a night) & i keep aking up at weird times really really hungry. I wake up and bunge on trail mix and basically finish the entire bag (4 servings worth!!) Mind you I am never hungry at all during the day (I force myself to eat enough calories anyway though) why is this eating extra coming back to haunt me?!
I guess I just chalk it up to a bad/stressful week. It seems to be wreaking havoc on all board members lately lol.
& now for comments, sorry its been so long! Im pages and pages behind now
gibbit- Im glad you guys had a great time at the facial and lunch i think it is awesome that you are so close with your mom. I wish I had that special bond with my mother, but unfortunately she doesn't really understand me & I don't think we will ver get to be that close (don't get me wrong we get along great and I love her dearly, but its just hard for her to see what Im going through) GLad you enjoyed the BBQ as well (no counting is fun right?!) ...oh and sorry about the cat poop, although your story did bring a little chuckle to my day (probably not yours though as you are the one who has to clean it up)
Agru- I know how you feel. I hate eating when I dislike the food and all I think about is yeah this may be healthy, but my chocolate at home tastes WAYY better and is less calories.
Xmas- Im going through a rough patch as well, its def. okay to let your feelings show, maybe it will help you as you progress and you seem to be doing okay, just take it one step and one day at a time. You can do it!
THeo- try not to think about the number of calories and concentrate on getting yourself healthy. Please feel better, you are a beautiful young lady & you deserve to be happy!!
toast- thanks for the snacking tips, snack jar sounds like a great idea. I just have a hard time limiting myself to specific portions as I can't tell when I am hungry or not.
Charliebo- I kno whatcha mean, if my bones aren't protruding out from my neck and shoulders I feel ginormous! STUPID ED, don't listen to it!
Alysha- as gibbit has mentioned pay no mind to your ex, he seems to have problems of his own. You are by far a stronger person now and should not have to put up with that.
fhchicky- mmm mint is my fave as well...sounds like you are on the right track with your eating
SLR- yup, have totally been there...every single day after every single meal. When Im feeling bloated and fat I ask myself that very question. Eventually as im told this eating/gaining with eventually lead to a healthier and happier lifestyle & I am choosing to believe that the recovered members who have been saying this are correct. try not to compare yourself to others as we all gro and develop differently and have vast differences in our metabolisms.
Aqua- glad you enjoyed the game, next tim you're out treat yourself to that ice cream, you deserve it girl!!
charliebo: Haha, I predict many of the nutritional experts here have similar origins too. I do not limit my saturated fat intake at all as I have blood tests anually and they look pretty ok at the moment. I think the problem lies in eating too much fat rather than too high of a percentage of saturated fat or anything like that.
aeropink161: Well, if you do feel hungry, just drink water and then determine if you are really hungry or not. If you aren't, water will make you feel nice and bloated. I know it sounds like theory solely, but I find that it really makes you feel great, especially when you get it out of the system. I think of water as the cleansing of my organs thus the comforting feeling of expelling the 'dirt' washed away. If you are, just eat! Your body is asking for it and it will aid your metabolism anyway. The reason why people might eat too much if they eat whenever hungry is because they aren't really hungry. Try the water thing, it might solve your problems. If not, this thread will always be around to help you. (:
This group is a God-send for me...I have been struggling w/anorexia for 6 years now, and always seem to chicken out when I start to gain weight. I really and truly want to get better and look normal, but was always very ashamed of the enormous amount of food I have to eat to gain any weight. This column has given me hope--I am not the only one who has to literally eat like a horse :)
Quick question--does anyone have some tips for mental "ammunition" against the terrible thoughts/guilt I get from feeling full or eating the amount I really need? Thanks so much for sharing on this site--hopefully this will be the extra nudge I need to finally get better!
hi everyone-
AERO-hey! hmm, lets see, maybe eat a bit mroe during the day? and yes, id rather have my treat or food whatever at home but i think thats being rigid and i have to be more flexable w whatever foods come my way. how are you doing?
TOAST-hey! i actually do about 30 mins of free weights1-2/wk, lunges, curls..how old r u again and do you do any cardio? hows your progress been? you sound great! oh, if youre not lactose then go w cow's milk for sure!
GIBBIT-hmm, cats can stay alone for 1 night i think. you are doing so awesome w all your socializing, holy cow! i need to find a way to meet ppl somehow. and yea, its like i need to count and almost be ED just to make sure ive eaten enoguh, almost counterintuitive to recovery and ironic and so not normal, also felt stuffed last night. so the meringue cookie was from a bakery and really big and so good loaded w/ choc chips, i just cant believe it was only 60 cals like it said when i searched on the site. and the oil, they had their cook make the food and i dont know her at all but eating other ppl's food is deff something i need to elarn to be mroe comfy w, its hard tho bc then i dont know how to ocunt and how to proceed the rest of the day?!
LIKEARE-ive learned that were not healthy enough tolisten to body signals and that for the time being in order to enusre youre getting enough food, which it seems like youre not, you need to be vigilent and count, eat when youre not hungry...you can do it!
AUSSIE-yea w the bmr and gaining ona little, im not sure exactly how much i eat but i dont want to have to maintain on 1500cals in the future either. i would deff talk to the nutritionist about it. the meringue was from a bakery and big w choc chips, i cant believe it was really so low cal bc it was so good!
AQUA-gl w all the rain, stay safe! fantastic experience at the game! great job, socializing, not thinking about food, and a boy! ooh lala! next time, go for the ice cream! woooo gl w the audition!
CHARLIE-hi hun! its good to think over our feelings, y were upset, happy, not progressing...then we can evaluatte progress and decide how to improve. you need to try and remember sometiems how bad it feels to bee depressed, embarassed...and then maybe that will help you eat more and be healthier...you can do it-back up to 2500!!

My holidays are about to end very soon, but for now, I can be very active around here and my posts can be lengthy and time-consuming
agruskin: Hello. I did free weights too but my weights ended at 6 pounds per dumbell and I would like to watch my progress. However, as long as you keep active, your body will definitely gain muscle too as it knows that 1-2 times per week, you will definitely be doing these exercises thus when you eat more, it will have to fuel more food to your muscles to make sure that you are able to complete this workout 1-2 times per week.
I think the key here is discipline. I would suggest fixing your workout days, for example, working out once every three/four days or working out on Monday and Thursday each week as the key here is discipline and with a fixed schedule, you can't choose to delay or anything. This is as often I feel reluctant to workout but still do so for the sake of optimal growth, also, after you workout, you'll feel awesome about yourself, which is a... nice feeling, to put it quaintly.
I'm 14 years old. I feel young on the outside but being a pretty liberal person I have seen quite my fair share of liberal artsy stuff (won't elaborate here, the euphemism does the trick) thus feel somewhat mentally more matured. Haha, i don't even know why I'm elaborating.
For my progress, I've really upped only this week and for now, I'm feeling great. In the gym, I'm seeing some beginner growths already. I feel better these days and hope that I'll grow a little taller with the amount of milk I'm drinking. (I love milk :P) I don't really care about weight, to be honest, there are just too many factors behind it. I feel that the best way to observe your progress is through self evaluation both mentally and physically, and right now, it's all working out for me.
That was a long post. Oh well, off to bed, it's late here.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

woo! hi everyone!
having a pretty good day eventho the rain has started and probably wont stop till tomm so i think im homebound pretty much, but, rt after bfast my dad said he wanted to go to the gym and asked if i wanted to go with, so eventho i just ate i split an english muffin w PB in the car w him and went. i just walked on the treadmill for ~20 mins at 3mph(probably only burned like 5cals) BUT, im pretty sure no one was staring at me thinking what is that scarey anorexic doing here?! like i felt sort of normal there. we left after like 30 mins and then i came home and had lunch. but i felt/feel good and deff inspiration to keep gaining bc eventho im looking more "normal", im not gaining and becoming healthier!

TOAST-hi! ahh, im a lot older than you, recently 25. i do my weights spaced out during the wk and deff see a diff on my body, like bits of muscle and biceps etc which is nice. how long do you lift for? how much are you eating again? im going to my 1st nutritionist appt wed bc i dont know how much im eating or how i should be, but im at ~2000-2200 i think. my goal is deff for health, happiness, energy and not a # on the scale-keep up the great attitude!
SLR-great job increasing! youre doing awesome!
Gooood afternoon everyone! :D ill try and reply to as many people as i can... sorry that i dont post as often as id like to...
Gibbit: im in the same boat as you with regards to nutritionists! Ive seen many in the past and they all tell me to eat waaay less than ive found that i need to.. especially when it comes to gaining.. ive only noticed an increase in weight with what im eating right now because i started strength training.. but it has kind of leveled off at 70 and i think it's time to bump it up to at least 2000... not 1600 like the dr seems to think :S
aquev: that's awesome you play cello! I tried taking lessons for a little while but it was sooo hard! I play the fiddle though.. i have for a while... it's kind of fun because it's more freestyle! I looooove the sound of cellos though! Yeah i dont even follow his meal plan anyways.. i need to eat more balanced though.. that seems to be my problem right now!
Xmasbaby: keep it up! You can do this! Youre doing awesome!
Theofournay: AAH! That is scary! I had to eat almost 5000 in the hospital but i dont think i could ever do it on my own... it's like a bloody full time job!!!!!! at least you guys were able to “compromise” .. well anyways i wish you luck with that! Im sure you will get used to it once you find a routine that works...
argu: good job at your aunt's house! I konw what you mean about it being hard to eat when no one else is... i always want to wait until everyone else is hungry... but now im just like aaah screw that ill eat now! Muahaha! That cookie sounds yummy!
Aussie: hang in there girl! Your metabolism will speed up eventually! You could probably eat even more.. i find nutritionists tend to lowball everything.....
slr: your doing great! Just ignore everyone else.. you know what you need to be healthy, and youve been doing awesome!
Charliebo: i have to same experiences as you with doctors and in the hospital! I have never restricted below 1200 calories but i still have gotten to pretty low weights... the drs always assume im eating next to nothing... i remember in the hospital they started me off at 600 cals and i was soooo hungry, i kept begging for more food... even my mom was trying to help me convince the drs but no one would listen... i was almost ready to start stealing food from the old man next to me! (terrible i know) .. for my osteoporosis, i was originally taking actonel.. but then i got another scan result back and the dr freaked out and put me on birth control.. ive only taken about a month and a half worth of it so far... im not quite sure how it's going to effect my weight gain/distribution if at all... i also take a calcium nasal spray that's about 200IU every morning and then 1200mg every night in vitamins.. yeah i dont follow my meal plan at all... i think i probably eat way too much protein though.. im like scared of eating carbs late.. it's bad.. i eat soo much tofu and fish and shrimp.... i usually get around 150-200g of protein every day.. doyou think this is bad for me? .. hmm blueberries! YUM! Ill keep that in mind .. thanks!
T17: wow! You seem to be in such a good place with eating... that's awesome that you can eat out and pretty much just eat like a normal person would! .... i hope ill get there someday!
So i was wondering if anyone here is taking birth control whilst trying to gain? And if they are if it makes any difference... im still too embarrassed to post my foods because they are so unbalanced..(and repetitive) but maybe eventually ill start... what are your guy's protein intakes like?
slr101: I'm so happy to hear your day was easier than expected! I'm a big fan of lentils myself.
agruskin: Great attitude! It is wonderful that you are enjoying niot being the freak rather than missing it.
toast x 3: I can't believe you're only 14! You come across as much older (I'm sure you get that a lot.) I thought you were in college.
skinnyrkcross: Welcome! I agree, this website is a God send. As for "ammunition" I have found that sometimes, knowing I will be posting my food, is the only thing that keeps me accountable. Also, I am so unbearably uncomfortable right now that I would not want to go through this phase again. (I have done it before in patient but it becomes increasingly difficult each time.) I am a teacher, out of work due to my health, so I constantly read professional literature and that helps me stay motivated to get back into the classroom. I almost went into nursing and there are a lot of books written by nurses about their experiences. Perhaps reading those might keep you looking at the positive aspects of recovery.
aeropink: I am a fellow insomniac. I don't wake up hungry but I haven't slept past two or three in the morning in months. I feel your pain!
Quick update:
breakfast: smoothie (soy milk, yogurt, oj, 1/2 banana, peach)

hi guys.
i'm back from the hospital, been there for 4 days..
so, things got really bad after my last post, a week ago, i couldn't eat or drink anything without throwing it up...even my vitamins, so of course i was almost dead, not to mention how my stomach was hurting all day long..and so i went to the hospital where they "arrested" me till today. doing what? tube feeding me after a major stomach "washing" which is, not letting any food or water in for 2 days..surprisingly i was better. they were injecting me vitamins and fluids to my veins at least 10 times aday...where i stopped counting.
so today i'm back and feeling well enough to sit on the computer..today i ate about 1300 cals, mostly fluids and yogurt...and that's the doctors recommendation for me ..TO ACTUALLY EAT VERY LITTLE in order not to tire off my body in digestion, well of course THIS doctor doesn't know about my ed since i look totally normal now..
tomorrow i'll be having around 1000 cals because i'll be fasting half the day in order to get a heart test...wish me luck! i really can't handle any more damaged organs right now...i'm feeling ****. sorry.
did you guys check my profile? i updated my story!!
hope everyone is doing MUCH better than i am. have a great day.
bye~
Helloooo all...that time of the night again, late enough for the good stuff on tv to have finished, too early for the crap to have started...My knitting is actually almost as tall as I am, trouble is, I'm too lazy to learn any more techiques so I'm just knitting the BIGGEST poncho ever!
Charliebo: I know what you mean about this website, somehow posting it makes you keep an eye on yourself. I like the idea of reading professional literature, do you have any you could reccommend? Also, I completely understand the fear of losing one's identity...I worry that I'll just get ignored, overlooked, that no one will notice me...when one has used a label to define oneself for so long it is the bravest thing to cast it off, and the hardest thing as well - who know what one might find underneath, and whether we'll like them or not?
dragonfly: I think we have the same sort of experience - I never restricted below 1000, but then I burnt off like 500 a day at the gym....
Agru: I'm so glad you're having a good day! Release those endorphins and feel that positive energy!
Also, to add my hapence worth to the counting non-counting debate....I count. Partially because I'm ALL about the control, and partly because otherwise I trick myself into eating less...what I try to compromise on is remembring what I'm eating and then totting it up in the evening and eating moreif I need to.
Finding the eating SO hard at the moment, it's like I've just hit some kind of brick wall...I really need to find a way to kick myself in the bum again...I was in the library today getting a book about anorexia out and the librarian kind of gave me this horrible one up one down look, and I just snapped at her "I'm not contagious, you know". There goes my good deed promise.
Yuck, trying for 3000, have only hit 2.500 today, and can't eat anymore physically, I just have a mental block on eating in the day. Am now a failed anorexic and a failed normal person. Feel Officially Rubbish.
On the other hand, found out last night that I am the dogs bollocks when it comes to climbing trees in the dark!
Foodies:
Brekkers: oats and more cereal
Snack: Figs
Lunch: roasted vegetable and ementhal panini
Snack: Fig and pecorino on Bruschetta (look, figs are in season, I'm stuffing myself with them while I can!)
Dinner: baked beans, jacket potato with marmite, boiled vegetables
Pudding: Banana Split
Snack: Cranberry bagel with peanut butter and morello jam. Hot milk and whisky.
Rubbish. I'm off to complete my poncho for a giant.
agruskin: Yeah I read your profile. My workout generally takes 1 hr - 1 hr 15 min with 3 sets and 8-12 reps per set. I'm eating about 2500 at the moment, the last visit to the dietician didn't end well) (Dietician said that she could not even give me a range of how much to eat, which was pretty annoying, because I would not have visited her anyway if she could not tell me anything.) Hopefully you'll fare better with your nutritionist!
charliebo: That's probably because I'm somewhat of an English language purist. ![]()
Hey guys! Just a heads up: My mom crashed our good computer my clicking on a pop up ad. So now I'm on our other prehistoric dinosaur 90's computer and it's soooooo slow! So I probably won't be on much until we get someone to fix our computer. Sorry for not replying to posts. Talk to you soon, hopefully!
Another question for any of you reading:
I have this bread that is made with wheat bran, however, it uses white flour. Still, it has 8g of fibre in every 56g/100kcal/15.8g carb. Now, there's also a 80% wholemeal bread and a 10 grain bread available, however, these have less fibre content per g/kcal/g carb. Should I be concerned with the GI of the wheat bran bread? Which bread should I be getting?
Thank you!
Hello all! So I'm not going to actually post all my foods from today, because I am no where near where I need to be calorie-wise to gain (don't even think I hit maintenence... yet). But I did want to give an update and respond to some posts.
I cooked lunch for my host family today - Vegetarian Chili and Eggless Corn Bread (my family doesn't eat eggs). They were both a HUGE hit and delicious (if I don't say so myself) and I'd say that the chili, topped with some avocado or shredded cheese or sour cream, can be a great weight gain food, as well as easy to make a ton of and freeze to eat over the course of the week. Plus I just love to cook, so being in control of the kitchen for my first time here was amazing... and I think I proved myself, because now my host mom is all about giving me free reign in the kitchen!
Theo: You're exactly right about the calorie counting as an issue of control. I think the reason I've not been counting so meticulously the past few days is because I WANT to make myself believe that I'm eating more when I KNOW I'm eating less. But when I count, which I'm back to doing again (and I rarely take a break from it), I COUNT. And don't worry about the good deed promise, I personally think that was a great line you used on the librarian.
dragonfly: Yes, I take birth control (started it about 3-4 years ago because I wasn't getting my period and am still on it for the same reason). As far as weight gain goes, it's had no effect - aka, it hasn't helped me out there at all! In fact, I switched to a new brand that I'd heard a lot of complaints about in terms of causing weight gain, but I've LOST weight. So that's my story. And as for protein, my intake is usually about 15-20% of my total calories. I usually prefer it to be on the higher end though, so around 20% I'd say.
hey hey hey!
i dont know why, ive been stuck home most of the day soing nothing!!! but im feeling good, like i just really want to get over this CRAP and be normal. id rather be bigger than gross scik looking, im sick of this
THEO-sooo funny what you said to the librarian! what bagels do you eat? from a bagel place or supermarket? sounds yum!
CHARLIE-you acn do it!1 really, message me whenever, youre doing great and ned to keep it up-you can get to 2500-its not too much! i cant wait to see my nutritionist!
DRAGON-hey! so i dont count anything other than cals. i eat tons of fat and caarbs. fat is good and will hopefully get my period back. varbs give you energy and are very important. if you post your food no one will criticize but instead maybe we can give suggestions, keep up the great work!
TOAST-wow, lots a long time to lift! lolhows your weight progressing? how long are your rsts btwn sets or reps or whatever, those 2 confuse me lol. oh, and i dont only eat whole wheat, i eat white regualr bread and whole wheat, it doesnt matter to me.

Hey all! I hope gaining is going well for everyone. Today I spent all day at the soccer field where I play watching the team I am supposed to be on have a suck-fest game, while I had to sit on the side lines, not being able to do anything. :( The good thing about it is that watching everyone made me realize how much I miss being able to have fun playing sports and doing normal kid things, not worrying about calories and such, so now I am gaining extra hard! I also just want to say thanks to everyone supporting each other on this site. Everyone is so helpful and friendly, and make this process so much easier.
