I consumed 10k within the last 24 hours, which is something I do at least once or twice a week ( not on purpose, I just get really hungry some days ) so I googled to see if that's considered a lot and

Suddenly, it all makes since

Also, 10k calorie challenge? This is a challenge for some people?

every day i find out more "health science" thats used to justify fatphobia is bullshit. for instance did you know that the fda's recommended 2000 calories a day that's on all the nutrition labels is made up and also not even a recommendation. first of all, The intent of the 2000 number and the percentages on nutrition labels is as a quick way to gauge what, for instance, 500mg of sodium is, not as actual health advice. they got the number by taking a survey of people and asking how many calories they had per day (and people probably underreported, as people tend to do). women said 1600-2200 calories/day, men said 2000-3000 calories/day, and children said 1800-2500. the fda thought about making the "average" used on nutrition labels 2,350 calories per day, but the people (average consumers btw, not scientists, just random people) who responded to a survey about what the benchmark should be said 2350 Sounded too high, and nutrition educators thought it would make people overeat if the average was 2350, so they rounded it down by 20% to 2,000. literally they took a survey of average people, lowered the numbers so americans wouldnt be "encouraged" to eat "too much," and ran with it . bonkers

shout-out to that time like five years ago when I did a minor vandalism in honor of my then-recently-deceased fat femme wife

between my parents telling me incessantly to lose weight and eat less (despite me telling them repeatedly to stop), and my sister going on a new year's calorie-restriction low fat/sodium etc. diet (with her boyfriend no less)... i am feeling incredibly triggered. i'm sick and i am so hungry but i feel guilty every time i eat.
whenever i haven't eaten a lot my dad tells me that's good. whenever i'm hungry and go for 2nds my dad tells me to stop. whenever i have a medical issue and need my parents' help, my dad refuses to help me and tears me apart, telling me i need to stop thinking about these things so much/letting my pain stop me and i just need to lose weight.
i just wanna shrivel up in a ball and cry. they really treat me like i'm just crazy and there's nothing physically wrong with me except for my weight and diet.

Heyo. Just a little rant from me. Started a job this week and I was hoping this was one I could finally not be miserable in. But it's only been a few days and it has already drained me so much. Idk maybe I just need to get properly into the routine, and it's not like it's that bad when I'm actually there, but it just feels me with so much dread when Im off and I have no energy left. Not to mention there are a lot more responsibilities that follow with it than I feel like they disclosed before. Such as being the only one on duty in the entire (massive) warehouse and opening everything on my own. Also, they decided that it was a good idea to put “x calories burned” on each step of the stairs to encourage people not to take the elevator as if most people that work there aren't on their feet through the entire shifts. And that has not been great for my ed recovery either. But I don't want to “fail” and quit and have to go back to feeling like I'm doing nothing. Especially bc I really want to try and move out soon. Anyhoo that's all. Thanks
I'm sorry you're struggling, and I hope it's mainly an issue of adjustment, meaning that it'll get easier as you get used to a new routine and new responsibilities. In the meantime I'm sending my love!

under the assumption that people making those "i forget to eat all day and then eat two blueberries" posts are being earnest and would actually like help for this, here are some calorie dense lazy meals that can help you make sure youre getting enough food quickly from your local eating disorder recovery dude who knows way too much about calories and nutrition
peanut butter sandwich. any variation or any other nut butter is fine, but make sure it's a real butter with oil etc, not the powdered stuff. peanut butter is very calorie dense and has protein and fat. pairings like bananas, wheat bread, and other quick additions can bulk it up
granola. granola is super calorie dense even in small amounts. throw a bunch into some full fat yogurt with some fruit, drizzle honey or maple syrup if youre up to it and feeling fancy. add nuts, chocolate, whatever.
chocolate -- one bar is usually between 250-500 calories depending on size.
nuts!!!! nuts have tons of calories and lots of protein and healthy fats. one cup of walnuts is 500+ calories -- i'd also suggest these w full fat yogurt and fruit for extra bulk/protein.
COOK WITH OIL!! a little goes a long way. butter is also an option.
avocados. avocado toast is the millenial joke but put a thick layer of avocado on a couple fat slices of bread (toasted if youd like) and toss seasonings and whatever youd like on it for a good dose of fat fiber and carbs. if you have the energy, add an egg for extra protein
pasta. cook an entire box of pasta ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, reheat on low energy days. a bowl can give you a good amount of calories, even more if you add sauce/cheese/etc. rice is also a good option -- especially if you Throw An Egg On It(tm) again.
bananas arent super high calorie but they have higher calories than most fruit, so mix them with other things (on toast, in yogurt, etc) to bulk up
mix and match these foods if you want calorie bombs that can make up for a day of undereating, ex: a bowl of full fat yogurt with bananas, nuts and chocolate chips, pasta with olive oil and cheese, avocado toast with thick bread and oil drizzle.
this is just a starting point. go for meals that have a good mix of carbs, protein, fiber and fat. doesnt matter where it comes from, just get it in. pizza. sweet potato with butter. a frozen broccoli bake. canned chili with rice. egg and cheese on a bagel. getting all your calories in one meal is NOT recommended but if you struggle eating throughout the day you can bulk out what you do eat to make sure youre not hurting your body.

75 hard: days 4&5
Work has been crazy stressful and I’ve thought I was a day ahead all week but I still have managed to stick to stick to the plan!
I’ve done Pilates at home the last 2 days while watching tv and I don’t why I wasn’t doing this the whole time! I know I’m not paying as much attention the entire time as if I were in a class or at the gym so I stretched the workout to an hour and a half which I still enjoyed.
I’ve still struggled with my nausea so eating in the morning has been difficult. I eat enough to make sure my meds don’t eat my stomach and then I’ve added an extra snack later in the day to make up for it. I’m still not eating as many calories as I would like and certainly not as much protein as I want. But I’ve been planning meals for the Friday grocery run so hopefully next week I’ll be able to up that.

I did a uni presentation today that I was really worried about so I let myself have some pasta (600kcals) but I was so full the entire day so all I had was cucumber and carrot sticks for dinner. Like who knew that letting myself eat would stop me from late night binging. No I will not learn from this.

What do you end up eating on a 10k calorie day?
Its usually on the days I eat a 4k cal family lasagna. I usually eat it in one sitting early in the day. I get hungry again about three hours later, and will make another meal. Usually something with potatoes and meat, though I plan to replace pretty much all meat with weight gain shakes soon. And resorting to only ordering out for meats.
After that, about two hours later, I'll have a bowl of sugary cereal and ice cream. Then I'll want a snack, so usually some chips with a ton of french onion dip. Or cake.
Then there's the snacking throughout the day on stuff like corn dogs, pizza rolls, ramen and Mac n cheese.
I also have days where I'll order 2 meals at once on door dash and that'll get me started. Usually my doordash meals look like this:

Btw I'm absolutely open to receiving help for ordering food! My cash app is tubbycow if anyone is interested 😁 I can use the help, as I only have 150$ a week to work with due to being disabled.
Usually when someone buys me food, I'll send custom videos and pics to them.

him, telling me to limit my calories to 1000, cut carbs and take prescription stimulants to suppress my appetite: delete it fat

unexpected side effect of tracking my nutritional intake: I can more effectively find out the answers to questions like "why am I so damn hungry?" by looking to see if I'm particularly low on calories or low on a specific type of fuel (i.e. carbs). I thought I would find out that I was ingesting a ton of calories daily but it turns out the days when I feel like shit and eat a lot at night is because I'm in a ~500 calorie deficit which is way more than I need to or is comfortable to be.
