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.

    Yeah you kinda need to add some things.

    Bake potato, keep skin or not comrade. Put in fridge over night. Fry in butter the next day. Put in bowel, add in mayonnaise, bacon if you have it or doctors sausage, egg, pepper, a drop of vinegar or hot sauce if you like. Mix it up. Put on bread and enjoy. Bonus, fry bread in olive oil.

    Make a small salad. Simple, cucumber, raw onion, tomato, vinegar or mirin (or a mix of vodka and vinegar and sugar). To stimulate appetite.

    But yeah jokes aside you just need MSG.

        Heh mayo is just eggs and oil generally, you can make it yourself. But I recommend trying Kewpie mayo; preferably one from a store that imports it from Japan instead of the one they make in America now. But yeah most of that is optional. A potato with the skin is more nutritious, and being cooked a second time them easier to absorb, giving you more energy. Helps when you lift weight(s), which will make you gain muscle weight. Fats are important as well. Be it olive oil, butter, ghee, tallow is best, or bacon grease.

          As replied to the other poster, try Kewpie mayo, it just the yolk. It’s popular enough to be in most store or ordered online. Grilled cheese with the bread fried in Kewpie is worth trying.
