How to gain weight healthily?
Hey everyone, so ive been trying to figure out how to gain weight healthily because i am so tired of being too skinny.. ever since i started my new office job a few months back, ive basically been forgetting to eat half the time. im running around on stress and coffee, and last week i weighed myself and realized i lost another 6 lbs. my clothes look super baggy on me now and i just feel low energy all day
I dont wanna just eat junk food, ice cream, and fast food every night because that just makes me feel sluggish and bloated. I really need actual tips on how to gain weight healthily without just building up a belly or feeling sick all the time
Ive been trying to track what i eat for the last week to see where im slipping up:
| time | what i usually eat | cal | why its failing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 am | black coffee and 1 piece of toast | ~150 | no protein, way too light |
| 1 pm | turkey wrap or small salad | ~400 | fill up on veggies, run out of steam by 3pm |
| 4 pm | handful of almonds or chips | ~150 | not enough calories to do anything |
| 7:30 pm | chicken breast, rice, broccoli | ~500 | normal meal, but im too full to eat more |
My total is only 1200-1300 calories most days, which explains why im losing weight so fast…
I know i need stuff like nut butters, avocados, and whole milk, but whenever i try to eat more i just feel way too stuffed. is anyone else struggling with this or has advice on how to gain weight healthily when you have a small appetite? would love to hear some advice
