I'm a super underweight trans girl. I've been skinny my whole life and no matter what I eat and how much I eat I can never gain a pound :/I've gone weeks before of eating 1/2 to a whole tub of ice cream a day on top of 4 or more meals. Nothing helpsHow can I gain weight so I can actually utilize fem fat distribution and be chubby and curvy?
being fat is terrible for you, embrace the flatness
>>43653033No, I want to be soft and cute >:c
>>43653019do you work out a lot? I'm thinking either that or you must have an insane metabolism or something if eating ice cream every day doesn't do anything, doing that made me gain weight like a mofo
>>43653079No I just sit on my ass all day, I've tried all of this while being unemployed. For dinner I'll even order like a large pizza and force myself to finish it all. I genuinely don't know what else I can do to gain weight :/
>>43653121how much do you weigh now? how much are you trying to gain? also, gaining weight can take a long time, I think it took me a year to gain just 25 pounds but after that it became a lot easier
>>43653151I'm 6'1-6'2 and I weigh 128 lbs <\3
I'd love to gain anything really, no real goal but I think I'd look better and pass better if I was a bit chubby :p
>>43653199omg, you really are super underweight! you could try pio, I've heard that helps some people gain. you could also try eating a shitton of peanut butter. really any high fat food...gainer shakes are also a thing you could supplement your diet with
>>43653019eat more
>>43653199i'd fu'ck you
>>43653199>>43653211 sounds like you have a male metabolism, you should switch to a female metabolism
>>43653273I'll look into pio! I've honestly been thinking about buying and just straight up chugging heavy cream every day :/>>43653288I already eat a ton!!!! I eat like a total pig, everyone I ever meet always says they don't understand how I can be so skinny :c
>>43653325Well thanks anon how exactly am I supposed to do that :p
>>43653341probably don't do the heavy cream thing, you don't wanna like, clog your veins or whatever...oh, eating a ton of carbs would probably help as well! I used to eat a stack of between 6-8 pancakes every day, that helped a lot
>>43653449I see notedI've heard slamming pb&j's is a great way to gain weight. I might give that a try
>>43653341that cream might help lol but you might get sick of it. when i was gaining weight I'd get a chicken burger, cheesy fries, and a milkshake like 1 or 2 times a week. and then 2 or 3 large sodas + chicken wings + pizza 3 times a week because it was free at my job at the time. a bunch of pastries too, cheese danishes and shittry smoking a bit of weed too, it'll help you have more of an appetite + relax more/burn less caloriesalso, are you on prog? what are your E levels? T? if you're on prog, your E levels look fine, you might honestly want to microdose T, which sounds kinda weird probably but I know a trans girl who did that for like a year i think to help put on weight because she had extremely low muscle mass and body fat and nothing else was working to help i seriously doubt you actually eat that much if you're that size, you might want to track your meals for a bitand desu i feel like you should talk to your doctor about this, that's seriously insanely skinny and you might have some sort of disorder, hypothyroidism or diabetes or Celiac's or something. maybe EDS? idk there's a lot of possibilities
oh smoking is actually a great idea, or eating edibles / vaping if you'd rather not smoke. that'll make you hungry as a motherfucker
>>43653019The only thing that ever made me gain weight was getting on risperidone. A lot of psych meds have weight gain as a side effect
>>43653449pancakes are a really good option. can try a lot of different toppings so you won't get tired of it as fast. i like peanut butter and honey, whipped cream and strawberries, or the classic maple syrup and butter
>>43653502* hyperthyroidism, i meant. whoops
>>43653502I really do eat a ton!! lolMy E levels are good, my T was still a little higher than what Im aiming for but that was months ago and I'm going for another blood test this week so I'll see :pI'm not on prog yet but I'm definitely going to start sometime in the coming weeksI've also smoked weed pretty much every day or other day for the past 4 years ^^;
>>43653548yeah prog might help a lot. i wish u the best, hope u can get the curves you want :>
>>43653019>>43653199I am also a gigaheighthon and used to be rly underweight .. tho not as underweight as u. (6'5" @ 160) i rly hated how i looked skinny too:(My strat:>GET A CALORIE TRACKERsrsly that's the biggest thing. i calculated my daily requirements and put in what i was eating:I needed 2500.. and was eating barely 1k because "i wasn't hungry"you will have to push yourself :(>Estrogen obviously.having good levels ensures at least somewhat good distro & minimizes visceral>Prog helpsafter 1-2y of E i got on prog and it helped round things out>Pio rEALLY helpsSeriously pio and calorie tracking did so much. I went from twinkhon to bodypassoid distro in 1-2y>Gainer shakesIf you don't meet your calorie goals for the day and are too lazy to cook a whole meal, make a weight gain shake. (Kinda like a body builder) Also if you do it at the end of day after dinner it can help Provided you don't have acid reflux..Eating before bed is not good for you tbf, but you will gain weight faster, and you will wake up hungry af>Work out! HIRT can help boost muscle growth and muscles go under the fat so it won't make you less soft. Just toned and soft(personally i only do my legs and only try to induce hypertrophy. use protein if you do this)>>43653079Exercise doesn't really use that much calories desu. Unless it's a lot of exercise you barely burn anything.>>43653350There's lots of good healthy foods with good fat and protein>Avocadoes(cheap depending where you live ig)>Nuts / Nut butter(tho you apparently don't even absorb that many calories from peanuts)>Dairy if you can(Heavy cream made me gain weight so fast I outgrew bras faster than I bought them for a bit)Eggs and cheese.>Use lots of olive oilBread in olive oil is a good cheat day snack>FIshExpensive tho :(>Oats / OatmealGood if you can have the time to make a big breakfast.PS Don't carbmaxx/unhealthymaxx too much tho you'll feel awful.. You'll gain weight but the distro will suck.
>>43653527maple syrup and butter all the way! oh yeah also mixing stuff in like frozen blueberries or chocolate chips
>>43653569Thanks for the tips nona!!! I'll definitely try some of this out ^^I've just started looking into pio, if I'm just using it to gain weight are the 15mg dosages the play or the 30mg's? Also any good gainer shake recipes you can recommend?
>>43653019you need to eat more>but i eat so much!not enough
having to really track calories and push yourself to eat when you don't feel hungry are the hardest parts but once you get past the initial push you'll find it much easier. I used to get full off a sandwich or a handful of snacks. as I was gaining weight it was a pain in the ass to try to force myself to eat a lot, but now I can down two burgers and not even really feel full
>>43653341eat MORE
>>43653569Didn't have char limit but after doing this i went 160 -> 230 in 3y. (0.5lb a week *On Average* is about the best speed you want to go without putting too much strain on your body btw.idk how it works if you start severely underweight, but pio can only do so much to prevent visceral gut fat, so don't go too too fast.)>>43653628i started on 30mg, but reduced to 15mg after a couple cycles and didn't notice the difference.>>43653644yah it's less quantity and more calorie density that fixed my issue
eating a shit ton and going to the gym (legs and butt, mostly) twice a week going to work and eating a shit ton while mostly sitting on my ass between customers four times a week eating a shit ton and getting high while binging TV or jerking off the other day + evenings. got me from 130lbs to 180lbs in about 4 months iircalso yeah avocados are a good strat. have 1 a day maybe? i liked them for breakfast. i also would have a protein shake, and then a sandwich or eggs and sausage or whatever, and yogurtget fatter get fatter get fatter!
>>43653199I used to be 6 ft and 117 lbs lole
get fatter!!I'd probably do avocados too but I just find them fucking gross unfortunately. but yeah that's a huge amount of fat. also something that helped me was sleeping after eating a lot (which is easy I guess, but it definitely helps retain fat)
>>43653910seems like a stiff breeze could take you out of commission at that ratio lmao
>>43653019this is the question everyone should be asking. I need for there to be more beautiful fat transbians in the world
