I barely maintain my 120lbs.

Some folks would bulk up on that.

I bulk up on 1000Kcal a day. It's frustrating.

It is frustrating for you and those that don't bulk up. When I got hurt, I dropped to 95 lbs and looked like a refugee from a concentration camp. I couldn't eat enough.

And if you are yoked to a person on the flip side of the coin, it's double hard, because of the interpersonal resentments that can grow.

One of the things I learned in culinary school is that people process the food differently, but most folks like the same stuff.

I don't point fingers at anyone, regardless of weight, and want to tell them what they are doing wrong.

Too bad the media can't do the same.

I gain weight if I eat anything other than meat, cheese, eggs, and a few greens. It doesn't matter how much of those things I eat, I could stuff myself on bacon and steak and not gain any weight.

But let me add an apple and a cup of yogurt to my diet and watch the fat start coming on. And I feel like people don't believe me, but I'm 47 and I've been through this again and again. My mom says "Just count calories" and I nearly scream at her. (And I'm not normally a screamer.)

what do you eat?

Try something- eat NOTHING but steak and vegetables this next week, and see what happens

(and I do mean NOTHNG- no bread especially of any kind)

I lose weight when I eat like that
