Jumping off of #2 and #3, try drinking smoothies and such!! It’s a good way to drink calories and there’s a lot of leeway in what you can add (any types of fruits, protein powders, etc) or it could be a good alternative if cooking/meal prep is too much of a hassle on some days

your calorie needs are super dependent on your level of activity and metabolism and such but you’re probably not gaining weight on 1000 cal/day

if you aren’t picky about chicken or meat, then I would also recommend upping your protein intake! Personally it helps because I can enjoy it like a regular meal or snack depending on how I make it (I.e chicken salad, chicken breast, etc) I like adding a crunch too which depending on crackers and stuff can help too! It’s lightweight but helps muscle growth and helps you gain

my fitness pal says to get 1,800+ in everyday, obviously sometimes i don’t have the appetite or don’t reach my goal, and only reach 1,000 ish. my boyfriend tells me it’s fine as long as i reach 1000, am i still gaining weight? or is it just like a steady line instead of a incline?
