NoMoYoYo:
There's no doubt I eat salty foods. This weekend especially. Maybe that's all it is.

I should probably lay off salt a bit. I type as I'm sitting at Wendy's chowing down on just under 2000 calories. The Frosty I'm gonna grab on my way out will put me over 2000...and its not as salty lol

Munchies:
The best thing anyone can do is know what they eat - fetish or not. If you are eating fast food, you can find the details on the website.

Many people don't look at the nutritional labels on food because they don't feel a need to. Meanwhile, many feedists are afraid to look because they feel guilty for "ruining" their bodies.

Both views aren't wise. You wouldn't build a house without checking the materials. You should do the same with the food you eat.

NoMoYoYo:
I eat fast food because its easy calories. I've been on their nutrition info pages, but basically to see the calories (and fats, carbs, protein). But I haven't done a deep dive to see what's actually in the food. ie salt/sodium content. Or in any food really. Every gain I've ever done has involved a lot of fast food. I know I should cut back. Especially if I'm looking for a prolonged, slower gain, but I like it too much. Which is probably why I get to a point that I'd rather not gain any more. I'm hoping to turn the page there. I just wanna be fat.

Munchies:
I'm not saying you can't be fat. I'm a feeder, after all. I'm just saying you gotta be smart about it. I have seen many a gainer and feedee have to stop gaining completely because their gaining methods screwed up their health. The same can be said about the slow and steady gainers.

I don't think you wanna go from a yo-yo dieter to someone who cannot gain under pain of death.

NoMoYoYo:
It's not all fast food or even junk food. I do eat fruits and vegetables. But I do hear what you're saying.

Are there any foods you like to feed your partner that great for gaining but are on the healthier side?

Munchies:
Bear in mind that we are on a gaining break, but I can give you some dishes.

- Puff pastry with salmon and spinach

- Peanuts

- Pizza with veggies

- Pasta with broccoli and cheese sauce

Huh. Everything the list starts with P. Wild.

On this weight gain journey the one thing I've noticed is how quickly my face has started to round.

When I weighed 258, I had a round face (thats my Irish genes). But it seems to be taking hold much quicker this time. This is on top of getting softer overall.

Is a fat, round face something to try to acquire? If not, is there a way to avoid it?

Munchies:
You'll gain where you gain. Nothing you can do about it. Some people get a fat face. Some people don't. It is what it is. If you don't like it, there are surgeries for that.

NoMoYoYo:
A fat face is definitely inevitable for me. It's just never shown up this quickly in previous gains. I think I'm eating even more calories than the last time I gained. I have been trying to gain slower, but I haven't had any luck so far. I'm sure that it's contributing to my softness/fat face.

I don't hate the round face. Like I said, its part of who I am. I don't think I'd get surgery for it. I just think that its a sign I'm gaining too fast. I hope that it doesn't scare me away from gaining even more.

Munchies:
Are you keeping a food journal? You should keep track of what you eat and make note of things. That way you can see where you need to make changes.

It's also possible that your metabolism is getting slower.

NoMoYoYo:
I haven't kept a food journal. I do keep a running tally on my phone's calculator of calories I consume every day. I've been hovering around 4500 calories a day. Friday I reached 5100. The changes I need to make are: Eat less hahaha.

My metabolism is most likely a factor too. Especially since in this gain I've been very sedentary. I'm hoping to start exercising a bit this week.

Munchies:
That's a good start. But remember, not all calories are created equal. If tracking calories is working for you, that's fine. But it's also good to be mindful of the foods you eat. For example, foods high in sodium can cause excess water retention. This would make you appear to be fatter than you are.

Does anyone else get at least mildly annoyed that people outside this community (in popular culture, opinion articles, and even some research papers) tend to implicitly and sometimes explicitly assume that FAs can only be male? And do people have any ideas about why that assumption is so strongly rooted?

Munchies is right that this isn't a trait that can be altered naturally.

Anyway, the very fact that this community exists proves that attractiveness is way more subjective than a lot of people tend to think. My advice is not to worry about what random people who reply to your forum post think.

When I was younger, I'd always pretend pillows and yoga balls were my belly, and I'd always find episodes of shows where characters got big and round.

I'm curious how early other people got into this, and how early some of the gainers on the site started blowing up into fatties.
