To preface, I kind of know the answer to this. I’ve put on weight before but I was hoping to get advice on how to go about better/more efficiently. I guess my question is really: what are healthy high calorie foods I can use to put on weight?

I’ve been underweight pretty much my entire life. I don’t think I have a chronic eating disorder, but there are times where I just don’t want to eat. I believe, however, that’s actually not my largest issue.

I’m potentially too health conscious. I’m vegetarian by accident (So I dated this girl right…) mostly, and as a result I eat a lot of nutrient-dense but calorically-low foods. I’m currently sitting just under 56kg (125 lbs) at 180cm (5’11ish). My plan currently is to just eat more often, and slowly ramp up how much I eat at each meal. About 6 years back I managed to hit 77kg by eating 4/5 large meals per day but then lost it all over the years by being sedentary and losing my appetite.

    Why? The diet you describe is one of the only proven ways to extend a healthy life span. If you following a cron diet from early on you could live to record old age vs the populace if you keep it up.

      Yeah my diets fine. That’s why I’m not asking for a diet change, I’m asking for some specific food examples that fit into my diet

        cron diet though is calorie restriction with optimal nutrition. adding calories would take away from the longevity effect walfords saw in mice, monkeys, and the good results from biosphere 2.

            ok yeah. makes sense. I do know though people who follow the diet can’t heavily excersise with so few calories.
