that's certainly something that one doesn't read frequently. "anyone have tips for gaining weight?" while 99.9% of the population ask "anyone have tips for losing weight?" xD
anyways, milk. if you're non-vegan, milk is the way to go. 1 L of milk contains around 500 kcal iirc, so like one full meal. no matter how full you are, milk always goes down. plus it's delicious.
in case you can't digest lactose, there's cheap medication for that. they're called "lactase pills", cost $10 for a package of a hundred pills, and you take one before drinking milk. it is active in your tummy and breaks down the lactose for you. it is not absorbed into your bloodstream, so it has no side effects. or i guess you could also just dissolve the pill in the milk before drinking it.
edit: sry i meant it costs $10 for hundred pills, not $100, lmao
Yeah I know, I’m a bad American. A trans woman who excerises regularly and doesn’t consume much sugar. I was just considering milk, but I worry a bit about taking in too much calcium. I have bad kidneys and get stones pretty frequently. I’ll have to talk to my dr before I try that one.
