Fat experiences

OhHey:
All the places turning health conscious and making sure their menu is under a certain amount of saturated fats and calories makes wg hard.

I miss the days where you could get a salad that was 700+ calories. Back in the 90's and 00's, a Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad from Mcdonalds contained over 730 calories! (Now its just 350)

Also, I used to get the chicken fried steak meal from ihop that was over 1000 calories. It was really good too. Now its been nixed. RIP.

What are some menu items/places that you miss or remember that used to help you put on the weight?

Munchies:
I think some of these issues are location-specific. When I'm at (one state north of you), I can buy the IHOP chicken-fried steak meal. In fact, there are a lot of places where I live where you can buy a meal for well over 1,500 calories. But I live in a fairly rural area, so that may have an impact on this.

I will say it's more expensive to gain weight - especially past a certain point. Not just the food, but also having to size up when you outgrow things.

It's absolutely more expensive. My household food budget is probably average for a family of two, maybe a little more because I'm making a concerted effort to eat healthy, and vegetables are costly. But when I was gaining, our food budget was our biggest expense. Additionally, having a dress made for someone my size costs around $250. My feet have also grown too wide for regular shoes. I only have one nice pair appropriate for wearing out.

Reality is hard. We're well educated and successfully employed, but most assuredly middle to upper middle class income-wise. But my size still taxes our budget, even with "normal" food expenses.

Munchies:
Money is the ultimate reason why most people stop gaining - even more than health, comfort, or peer pressure. At some point, it gets hard to afford.

FattyBeefPatty:
Man, how come the moment I’m committed to gaining everything’s gotta be so expensive 😔

MottiF:
Indeed, same with me. I was gaining weight really fast but now I’m gaining much slower due the food costs, everything is just too expensive

Morbidly A Beast:
Back in my day the value menu at McDonald’s was actually a dollar, you could get 2 McDoubles and a large drink for under 3 dollars, now a days that’s a 10 dollar meal. (Also a laughable amount of for someone of size)
