So...me and food have an odd relationship. In that, I don't really like to eat. Most of the time, I can't be bothered. I am wondering if anyone knows of some kind of high calorie food that would enable me to have 3-4 bites and be done with a substantial part of my eating for the day?

Blubber or muktuk is traditional...

You could stock up on those liquid dietary supplement drinks (like Ensure). There are also nutritional supplement bars that are only 3 or 4 bites. Or you could make a short list of high-calorie foods you DO like and have someone prepare you those, often.

How long has it been that you don't like to eat? Is this a recent development, or have you been this way all your life? I'm just wondering if this is a symptom of some kind.

It's a symptom of my crohns, unfortunately. I wake up too nauseous to eat, and then by the time that passes, I'm too hungry to eat, so I have to wait for that to pass and then half the time nothing sounds good and so I skip it entirely. Which further acerbates stomach problems. So...I am trying to short circuit that. I need 2000 calory pills. Then I could just take one and be done for the day.

Plus, I hate the imposition. Of having to stop what i'm doing and prepare food, or find food, and cook it, and clean up after it. I often skip meals just because I'm too lazy to prepare something. Again, bad habit for someone with vast quantities of stomach problems. Thanks for your concern. *hugs* <3

Ugh. Yeah, that's really a difficult situation. Maybe spend the initial nauseous period in the mornings, concocting a high-calorie smoothie of some kind (keep ingredients grouped together in the refrigerator or freezer and just dump them into a blender

That's because you are wonderful and awesome and a giver. :)

None of my SO's are home when I am, except two days a week. *hugs*

Macadamia Nuts, Pecans, Natural Peanut Butter, Avacados, Bananas. Soylent should be commercially available soon, but there are links on how to make it. Good luck!
