My guess is that you’re under estimating how many calories you consume just to metabolically function while also underestimating how many calories you burn in daily activities
You need around 4500 calories just to sustain 350

I've looked at a few weight gain/calorie requirement calculators based on age, height, weight, activity level and rate of gain. I've seen as low as 2250 and as high as 2500 calories per day for my 205 lbs (for now) to gain. Who knows how accurate the calculators are? I over shot the target by over 2000 calories per day last week.
That’s the thing there only as accurate as how precise you are being in your variables. I would just keep at it despite fiction you don’t get magically fat overnight it’s a process. It helps to love eating and stuffing

Crash Diets and Drug Use killed Mama Cass

I am not sure I’m following your reasoning all I can say is the crash diets are bad for your organs you need the calories your body has grown used to. If it were me I would just eat whatever you want this month and try to push yourself every meal by the end of the month it’ll just be your new eating habit(s)

Under. Even though most of my pants I wear now are elastic it just feels weird having my belly under a elastic band just let it hang

I wouldn’t mind becoming a ssbhm unless I’m already there idk when it comes to ssbhm/ssbbw seems like an arbitrary distinction

Same. I'm intentionally gaining now, but I've always been fat. With that comes a big appetite. What would be a big meal for a lot of people would leave me hungry. For example, tonight I had a Philly cheesesteak, fried buffalo cauliflower, french fries, beer, and soda, and then an hour later, ordered a large pizza and boneless wings. With all that, I was very full, but not packed.
Yeah you sound a lot like me I have no concept of normal portion sizes anymore, like, get this there’s people who will only have a slice of pizza maybe 2… or like a foot long sub sandwich or a large sandwich is “to much food” just wild to me

Sometimes my work does pizza for everyone, and they’ll usually get an idea of what people want I usually eat an entire large pizza by myself when I order, so it was a bit awkward when I was told to put down the pizza box I wanted and asked for and told to grab a plate with just a few slices needless to say I was a bit hungry afterwards.

Jeezus 6000 calories? I will need to stock up on double cream
Morbidly A Beast:
I personally don’t care for the stuff I just double down on everything i eat. It is Unfortunately kinda the thing It is a lot, you gotta eat big to be big. It’ll get easier as you eat more day to day. The biggest thing is consistency so don’t push right away if it will distress your body but it is something that’ll increase that capacity so long as you can keep eating that day or the next day
Carolmarshmallow:
Ya that’s really good advice actually. I’m on 4.5k now so I’ll start trying to up on that (I was pleasantly surprised how easy to is to do 4.5k with just a little planning). Thanks for the wise words 👍❤️
You’re welcome! 4.5k calories is still a lot it just might be mitigated by your activity level. I’m moderately active so lately I’ve been trying to get a decent breakfast 1-2k calories in the morning with a massive 3-5k dinner in the evening no idea how much I weigh right now but I imagine I’m up def softer around the middle
