Eating trouble increasing with weight gain.

Caloric density might be your friend here. Do liquids do the same thing? Lots of individuals have gained a lot of weight by adding more liquid food contraptions to their diets. I just about guarantee if instead of drinking straight milk you mixed it with some protein powder/peanut butter/eggs/ whatever you could probably add a hell of a lot more calories without more volume.

It happens to me from time-to-time. Taking a break from eating and coming back to my plate after a 10-20 minute break usually solves it for me. I'm not much of a binge eater and so I'll eat eight times a day if I have to.

Thanks for all the ideas, guys.

Regarding variety of foods and caloric density, I will try to balance these two as I feel if you go too far in one direction, the other one suffers. For a while the staple of my diet was 1500 calorie, 1lb cheeseburgers, but since I became sick of them I can`t take advantage of those easy calories at all anymore.

As for shakes, I`ve been making one out of milk, a banana and a quarter jar or so of peanut butter, but I try to save it for emergencies since I`m beginning to grow intolerant of it as well. I never really thought about using oil, so that`s something I`ll have to try with a bunch of different flavors to keep things fresh.

I`ll also experiment with smaller, more frequent meals as much as I can within the confines of my schedule.
