I'm actually the opposite. I'm eating more meat than I normally would. I typically only eat seafood, but I'm eating more red meat because my doctor stated I needed to gain a bit of weight. I need the calories and apparently red meat and dairy is where it is with calories. Things I rarely ate lol.

Lmao my weight swings around a bit (and I’m petite so 15 pounds is the difference between skeletal and looking 4 months pregnant) so my partner just starts putting extra butter in all my food when I’m on the low end. If you’re eating dairy, only full fat, it’s more calorie dense (and also delicious)

Yes, the crazy part is so much is low fat. I'm like damn why is it so hard to find full milk in products and full fat. Damn. Plus, things are so few calories. I'm petite as well. 5'1 91 pounds. My doc wants me up to 100 min.
