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 convinced me. I will try this. Ever tried it with boiled mashed potatoes instead of potato slices? I have access to a lot of leftover mashed potatoes.

    No way I’m letting that snake eat all the potatoes for himself.

        Mashed is technically sliced. In pieces so small they form a homogeneous mass. It shall be attempted. I’ll update y’all on how it went.

        Update: I didn’t have the energy to cook today. I just made scrambled eggs. I hated them. Every time I hate them more.

      If I were to try with mashed potatoes I would make small balls with the mashed potatoes and then try not to stir it to not mix too much the eggs with the potatoes.
