More calories in than calories out really. Could focus on foods/ drinks with higher calorie counts like Ensure plus. Maybe loook into one of those fitness apps and see how many calories you burn in a day, and then adjust your activities/ diet accordingly.

Empty calories. Drink them.

What's the better strategy? Drinking diet soda to feel less full or drinking regular soda to just max out calories?


Diet drinks mess with your metabolism. The body prepares for sugar because of the sweetness. But there are no calories so it craves what it's not got. This is why diet drinks are so fattening.

That’s a solid approach — keeping it simple with “calories in vs calories out” really helps cut through all the noise. Tracking intake and expenditure gives you a clear picture of what’s going on. I’d also add that it’s important to focus on quality calories too — healthy fats, proteins, and complex carbs can make gaining or maintaining weight much more sustainable. And yeah, using a fitness or nutrition app can be a real eye-opener for understanding your daily balance.
