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.
You mentioned vegetables, thank goodness, but also have a piece of fruit whenever you can afford it. Good for vitamin C to help you get the iron out of those eggs, a calorie boost from the sugar, and an assortment of other nutrients especially if you vary the fruits. Also a little fiber for your heart and to help move those other foods along in your gut.
If there’s a farmers market in your area, go before closing and ask if they have some seconds they can sell you for half price. This goes for vegetables too.
