The biggest thing you can do is to make the food you eat more enjoyable and eat more of it. I would have no appetite and starve if i had to eat your diet. The good news is that it's possible to eat a lot better, but still very cheaply. Also you really need to eat two or preferably three or even four meals daily if you want to gain weight.

I would remove eggs and cheese as they aren't a good value. Add black beans, chickpeas, and lentils, which are good over rice (very cheap, especially if you buy them dry in bulk). Pasta too. Add spices, cheap hot sauce, tomato sauce, etc and it becomes a good meal. Try oatmeal for breakfast too. I would also make sure that you are getting as many fruits and vegetables as possible (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, etc. not too expensive but will complete the meals and provide good nutrition). Also consider pan frying the potatoes - it's tastier than boiling.

    Looks nice, aesthetically similar to noctalia but those animations look really good, I'll have to try it out.

    I think you should try customizing your os! It's less difficult than it sounds. (I use niri + noctalia. Niri customization uses a config file, but it's pretty simple. Noctalia has a gui settings panel)

    The emotional part is why I'll always advocate for trying estrogen early on. I know it's maybe a lot for where you are now - personally I was scared/unsure of the physical effects (before I decided I wanted them). It turns out the physical changes are actually really slow and you have tons of time to decide if it's right for you. Mentally though it's a huge positive difference, though. By far the best antidepressant I've tried. It lets you actually feel your feelings.
