Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I started gaining muscle when I changed how much protein I was eating. Basically, I doubled the size of the portion of chicken or whatever that I have for lunch, and cut most carbs out of that meal, so I basically have one meal with lots of protein and a salad or veg, and that really helped. There are calculators online to tell you how much protein someone of your weight needs, either at a maintenance level, or to put on muscle, and it’s way more than most people expect, but it’s not hard to achieve once you know that. I hope you find a path to feeling healthy, it sucks permanently feeling malnourished.
Thank you for the tips. I'll try some of this and combine with strength training.
