I don’t know where to post this, so I’m posting it here.
I need to gain some weight because I’m borderline anorexic. But I can’t afford much more than bread, potatoes, eggs and cheese, That is my diet. And I hate eating it. It’s the only thing I can stomach that is cheap, but I hate it. I don’t want to eat eggs and potatoes for the rest of my life. I would rather die of malnutrition, like I am currently doing.
I have no appetite, but that is a symptom of something else. Ideally, there is a way to gain weight while eating less mass. Something calorie dense.
I might be slightly exaggerating. But for the last couple of years I’ve been eating potatoes and eggs for almost every single meal of the day. And yes, I eat one warm meal a day. Sometimes I suppliment with some bread to stop the hunger pains. Sometimes I also eat a piece of vegetable.
Are you eating these unseasoned straight out of the water they boiled in or was this taken during the process of cooking? Because I’d suggest some spices. Can make potatoes & eggs taste a lot of different ways with a few spices.
Egg or potato salad is decent & cheap if you can get your hands on some extra ingredients. Egg Salad Sandwich used to be one of my go-tos and you can literally make it with just egg and mayo/mustard if you wanted to (but I’d recommend adding spices & pickle)
Would add beans to your list of things to eat since they’re also pretty cheap, filling, and would help you out with protein, which from your post, it sounds like you may be lacking.
tuna salad works with the same basis as egg and potato salads if they wanna spice it up
There are only so many ways to eat eggs and potato. When you eat them for a decade, you can still find new ways to make and eat them, but when you eat them for two decades, the novelty kind of dries out. Even for me, someone who eats the same thing every day.

That is a lie, about once a week I get a piece of chicken.
