OMAD for close to 4 years now. ADF for around a year.

I'm struggling to eat enough calories to keep my weight stable at this point. I'm still losing weight, albeit very slowly. If I eat any more than I do in my eating day I'd feel uncomfortable.

I end up with around 3600 Cals on eating day, so ~1800 Cals daily average.

Can't really see how to fit more than 3600 calories in a single meal 😅

Might have to go back to just OMAD without alternate day fasting if I can't figure out how to maintain my weight in a couple of months. But then I worry the IBS and other discomfort ADF fixed might come back.

Anyone went through this? I'd appreciate any tips.

Have you ever been tested for Candida and other parasites?

I'm parasite free for sure since I had to go through a lot of testing when I first started having issues years ago. Idk about Candida though. TL:DR; from doctors was "IBS" ie. we don't know but it isn't a known allergy or disease related.

I think I need to somehow make my eating day calories around ~4200 to average 2100 a day. That would probably keep my weight stable. I just can't figure out how to shove 4200 calories into a single meal (while keeping it pleasant).

To eat so many calories is challenging. What are very good sources are: peanut butter and any other nut butter (from almond, cashew, sesame, etc.), also cold pressed oils, avocado, nuts and seeds and fruits. Smoothies help to get quite an amount of calories in the body.

Also would be good for sure to eat fermented foods.

At the end, you are your best adviser as you feel what's good for you and what not.

Wishing you all the best! 🍀🙌🏼
