No problem! :)
I ate pea soup with squeaky cheese and cumin today. Also protein shake.

A banana, and eggs always the eggs
Veggie burger with tomatoes and baby spinach and grapes :3
and a red bull
Scrambled eggs. Sweet potato fries with a dip (crème fraîche, ketchup, lemon juice, garlic, honey, salt and pepper). Protein quark and half a bell pepper with bread.
So far today I've had rye toast with vanilla almond butter, strawberries, banana & raspberries on top; a whole wheat wrap with hummus, spinach, turkey, avocado, red onion & feta and carrots and cucumbers on the side; and a bowl of strawberry Greek yogurt with granola & goji berries.
(BTW, I'm underweight & trying to gain for some time now & am seriously struggling, so if anyone has any suggestions, they would be very much appreciated ❤️)
Today I started taking vitamins properly! Prenatal multivitamin, collagen and K2 + D3. It's for my overall health, but one of the main motivators is my hair, of course. :)
I'm drooling x)
Incorporate carbs, such as pasta, and of course lots and lots of protein. Almond butter is a good start. A portion of red meat once a week, like a steak, or tuna, salmon etc will do you some good as well, and try eating eggs every day for breakfast (I'm assuming you're not vegetarian cause I saw turkey but I didn't see much other meat). :)
Try protein shakes and lifting weights, too. I am unable to gain weight without working out - unless I eat pizza and drink beer every day, but that's not the type of weight I try to gain lol.
Thank you! ❤️
I'm actually having salmon & brown rice for dinner tonight hehe.
Can working out actually help you gain weight?! I didn't know that was even a thing. I've been to scared to exercise since I dropped the weight because I didn't want to lose any more. Do you have to do certain exercises to gain rather than lose?
& Same! I know I could make this a lot easier on myself if ate pizza & candy all day, but I'd rather do it a wee bit healthier lol.
Yes, with good diet and protein, weights specifically can help you gain weight in the form of muscle. Not saying you'll become he-man but it's a more healthy weight than just fat, though if you're underweight you probably need a bit of both. So instead of something like long walks/runs, which would most likely make you lose weight or slim down, try low reps with weights, exercises like squats, lunges, pushups etc. It'll also help get up your appetite. :)
Had a tuna steak, jasmine rice and maduros.
eta: i tried cooking the maduros in coconut oil this time. yum!
