so it's been a week and a half....protein levels were way low when he started out...and it's going up...almost to one gram/lb body weight. carbs were way up...and they are coming down. but he has not hit 2600 calories once...i think 2300 was the closest he got. been doing good on keeping everything wheat...pasta...bread...brown rice. eating chicken and turkey...ham...and roast beef for meats. he refuses to eat fish....or oatmeal...i did convince him to buy fish oil though. eating five meals a day. cottage cheese...peanuts...and plenty of veg and some fruit.

he weighed today...has not lost anything. so kinda frustrated...


i explained hey...it took you eight years to get to this weight...it's gonna take some time...


so besides not eating enough calories...any tips?
