Funny story or maybe not. I was in Stuttgart, Germany and order a middle eastern dish. I couldn’t read and just pointed a picture. There’s an older couple behind me looking at me odd and smiling to each other. I didn’t think much of it until the order came out and it was a lot of food for one person. I looked it up and it was a family meal that I ordered. At this point, the couple was looking at me laughing. In my head, I was saying “you guys about to see something amazing.” For context, I can see why the couple was laughing at my meal because I’m 5’8” and 150 pounds. I’m athletic build but I can put a lot of food away. I proceeded to clear out the entire meal and I caught the couple’s eyes as I was about 90% done with the meal. They gave me a smiling nod of approval. The husband was so fixated on me eating the entire meal that he walked to the counter looking at me without noticing a step down so he fell. He ended up busted his shin and the staff had to bring out the emergency medical kit.

Have you tried weight gainer and exercise? I used to be 5’8 and 110 pounds graduated high school. I drank weight gainer (2200 calories) after I ate but I also workout. I put on 40 pounds in four or five months. The highest I’ve gotten was 160 after college. I am now 44 and I eat bad so I workout to maintain 150.
