After stuffing myself for a week straight, I figured I would have gained something.
And if I were willing to ignore the bit where last time I was in flip flops (total weight maybe 8oz) and this time in "real" shoes at over a pound each, I totally gained.
Except... 125.7 really isn't a gain over 124.3 when I take off the extra 1.5lbs.
I think I need to add more avocados to my diet. It might just be time to hit the market. I've got q8 for stuff, I can totally stuff my face.
Cheese is sliding slowly off the list of things I want to eat. I'm getting sick of it. I might have to start buying nuts. they're pretty calorie dense and they taste good, too. I foresee a sudden doubling of my food budget. And only part of that will end up going to soda.
Pleh.
I think nuts and avocados would definitely help. Or... drink oil? Yeah, that sounds gross. hahaha. But sheesh, 14 grams of fat in one tablespoon is nothing to sneeze at.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could drink oil. I really don't care enough to do it. I mean, the stuff tastes gross by itself.
ReplyDeleteI may hit the Italian/Indian place and see what kind of crazy, calorie-packed thing they can stuff me with.
And pick up a couple bags of nuts at the grocery store today, too. Forget 14g of fat per tbsp, some nuts have close to 400 calories per *quarter cup*.
I suspect I'll be slurping down coconut-yogurt smoothies at 500 calories a glass when I'm home. At least they're tasty, right?
It absolutely tastes gross, haha. 'Twas a joke.
ReplyDeleteNuts are the way to go. Cashews have tons of calories and fat.
The smoothies sound awesome yes and absolutely fattening. It amazes me how much cal/fat are in coconut. Hey, can you get coconut flakes down there?
Why would I want coconut flakes? I can get whole young coconuts. The flesh is still soft and yummy, and slide right out of the shell. Once you open it up.
ReplyDeleteThey *grow* macadamias down here, so I might end up with those, I'll see what hits the happy price/flavor point best.
True story, When I was a kid, I used to eat sticks of butter or margarine. Straight. Still was under 25th percentile for weight.
I'll admit to total stupid moment. Did not think about *real* coconuts because they obviously do not grow in Eastern Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteDoes j. have worms? A parasite of some sort? ha! Seriously though, I can imagine how frustrating it is. I had a neighbor who could not gain weight. The doctor pumped her full of crazy stuff, steriods(!) at one point, protein powder, Ensure and all sorts of ick. Poor kid.
