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.

Do you not like pasta at all, or is there something about the pasta they give that's particularly shitty?

Literally any noodle + oil, salt, and maybe a couple spices (e.g. garlic and onion) and you get hella calories that you can shovel your way through quickly without much if any chewing.

This was the majority of my diet for a couple years. Def not good for you long term, but it's easy calories if you don't mind the texture too much
