Hello, I am stuck at 143 lbs for a year and I need to change something, but i am not sure what, because there are two main things that have been destroying my gain process. First - low appetite and second - if I eat normal(without pushing too much) for 1 - 2 days, everything is lost.
1) I have never had problem with going to gym or eating what I should, but the low appetite has always been a problem. You will think that I just don't push myself, but the truth is that almost every meal I take is not because I am hungry, but because i have to eat. Most of the times at the end i am about to puke. I have tried some calorie rich foods like Peanut butter but it takes so much efforts to eat just a little as it is not delicious. Pushing myself that much for every meal causes the second problem.
2) I have tried 1 week to be on ~ 3k calories every day. I gained around 2 pounds but after that 2 - 3 days with normal eating - around 2.5k calories and i had lost them. Since i am pushing for every meal, every next day it takes even more efforts to hit that calorie target as every day is a big fight.
What bothers me: Even if I somehow manage to get some pounds, I don't think i will be able to keep them for 1 or 2 or 3 years. Is there any chance that once i build some more muscles, i will lose not that easy pounds. I don't think I will be able to keep 3k calories daily until late years.
I have been trying for a year and a half, gained 11 pounds, but I start thinking that everything above my current weight is impossible for me right now. Any advice is welcome.
