Hi Guys,
Ok so i have an eating disorder and i go see my doctor every two weeks, but this week my mother brought the gym papers "impedance" test, to show my doc that my bodyfat percentage is critically low and my BMI is underweight.
So My doctor said that in two weeks i need to have gained some weight back... he said that if i dont ill be hospitalized again, for a short period of time just to help me gain it back.
I really dont want to be hospitalized, but the thing is i eat a lot but its really hard for me to gain weight. I would like to gain as much muscle mass as possible in the next two weeks, do you guys have any tips on foods that a good for packing on muscle mass, what should i increase carbs, proteins or fats?
Thanks

this is your problem right there you are almost under a healthy weight....you said you have a eating disorder, learn to maintain a healthy relationship with food and worry about lifting less....you need to focus on getting healthy....
google calorie dense foods and eat them...remember there are no bad foods

When I used to have an ED about 18 months ago I spent 3 months in the hospital. It is the worst experience of my life.
Forget about the gym, man up and eat. You're 6'1 140 I have no idea why you're so inclined on putting on muscle. Any form of weight would benefit you. Stop lifting, you're using exercise as a crutch. You have no idea how harmful being a low weight is; I was 5'7 80 upon admission with an ill functioning liver and a whole handful of other problems. This isn't a joke. The doctors told my parents I was going to die with the skew of poor organ function I had. Go and eat, stop worrying about the gym or what you put in your mouth.
In retrospect it bothers me so much to see teens go through this crap that I had to. I feel like such an idiot for having let an obsessive tendency near kill me. Stop posting here until you recover, this site is just hindering you - you're asking us what to eat. Eat what your parents give you and be a normal kid.
And I hate even talking about this and the only reason I did is because I don't want another kid to go through it.Last edited by Hunttarded; 04-16-2014 at 05:26 PM.

WTF do not even lift if you are so maulnourished you could be hospitalized. Dude... eat and make the changes now! You have so much life to live ahead of you! There is so much more than aesthetics, the gym, abs, tracking macros, or whatever you may obsess over! I was in your shoes OP, consumed by my eating disorder, isolated, lonely, yet I still strove to restrict, count macros, hit the gym hard (for nothing... I broke down my muscle and never gave it nutrition to build up so I wasted away), lost friends, lost libido... Go to my log man I was a mess and you know what fixed it?
EATING, not counting macros, and finding out that my self worth is a lot more than what I look like, how strong I am, or the foods I eat! Fast forward to today, I have an awesome BEAUTIFUL girlfriend, awesome friends, straight A's in school, excelling at my sport, happier than ever, STRONGER than ever, and this is all after I gave up macros and obsessive exercise. Get off this site, start eating, listening to your body, feed it adequately like you know you should, and be around people. This site screams eating disorder and body image disorder perpetuating the myth that you must have a perfect body to have any worth and that is not true!! Fix your health, enjoy life, and be the guy that is satisfied with WHO HE WAS and WHAT HE STOOD FOR not the abs he had or the weights you can lift. Think about it man... what good are you doing yourself by succumbing to your eating disorder? Start eating and eat right now. Go find friends, ask them to go to pizza and shakes, tell your family you love them and are willing to change, go to church if you believe in it... Fill your life with things that matter, not stupid worries like abs or bicep peaks.
This is coming from someone who thought recovery was impossible and would never get through it but now I am dude and life is amazing. I look forward to each day for who I am going to be with, the adventures it may bring, and the relationships I build not how I am going to get a lift in or how I can track my macros...
I wish you luck OP and pray that you will change your perspective and realize you are worth so much more than what you look like. Some of the most amzing, hapy people I know do not lift weights but I want to be like them because they are steadfast in what they believe in and this is where they find their worth... Think about it man.
I challenge you to list out for me what you want to be "known" for at the end of your life? What is your life goal? Six pack abs? Perfect aesthetics? you think your grandkids will want to ask you what you did in life and you tell them "I lifted weights and neglected friends, family, and harmed my body because of my selfish desire to look good." No way! BE THE CHANGE. Start now. PM me if you need anything dude. I have been in your shoes.Been playing with shafts and balls since '75.

so much this OP ^^^^ Both me and Hunttarded have been through this and have experienced the outcomes of what you are doing. It is not to late to change just PLEASE make the change now man I beg you. It is sooo not worth it. I live in guilt because of the years I wasted chasing after aesthetics and killing my body, relationships, and happiness (to name a short few) in the process.

I was 99lbs at one point of my life and I was in denial of my own physique.
Honestly, it's hard to help through the internet. It's even harder for yourself and even if we try to help you, no one can help you other than yourself.
One day, you'll wake up and realize that you need to make a change, and you'll do it.
Until then, you won't do anything.Retired 74kg PL Open Division (3 meets)

The place to seek advice for your condition is not a bodybuilding forum. If you are having trouble gaining weight speak to your doctor. You clearly are in a state of crisis with your ED, you need to be treated by the people that specialize in eating disorders!
- Your mindset influences your outcome. It's time to take out phrases like "I can't" or "I don't have time" and replace them with phrases like "I will make the time" and "I will keep working at it until I find a way that works." Success starts with the right mindset and believing in yourself and your dreams.
