How do I put on weight without feeling terrible? (lemmy.world)

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.

Bread is great! I also do pastas a lot for the same reasons. Thankfully, my sister loves to bake and maintains a batch of sourdough which I'll definitely be trying to steal off of periodically.

I just moved into my new place and haven't had time or tools to test my oven yet. I also am still adjusting to a new schedule, and my partner is going to need to adjust to a new schedule soon so we'll see how much baking we manage to do in our household. Store bought bread will have to make due in the case of a lack of baking

Good luck on settling into the new place and schedule!

My sister is a keen baker as well, but it works out quite nicely for us — she's excellent at doing sweet things, and I like to do bread, so we've got a good exchange situation going on. But yeah, absolutely nothing wrong with buying it when the time and/or effort is needed elsewhere first
