Here's a touch of science I use with my clients:

Protein works because of a nitrogen that holds it all together. That's what our body needs to build and repair damage (like broken down muscle fibers from exercise, daily wear and tear, etc.). If your body does not need the nitrogen, then it will break the protein apart to be used as stored energy (body fat) and shed the nitrogen.

Basically if you consume more protein than your body needs, it turns straight into fat.

Nitrogen retention (keeping the protein as a protein and not fat) is different for everybody based on genetics, activity, diet, lifestyle, and so on. I think this variation is why you get so many different responses on the topic. So I'd recommend getting some and trying it out to see if it works for you!

Can we keep this thread going as away to share experiences and advice? It helps a lot to hear from everybody.

I don't have much hardware to go with (just some old compression/athletic clothes), but I've experimented with some stuffing materials.

Most recently I tried it with bags full of Jell-O:

I was hoping for more jiggle (personally I'm trying for realism, I want to wear it in public). Anybody have other ideas for added jiggle or realism?

Pendell: That was the normal 1 tsp, it just didn't mix well and I was pretty dehydrated. I wouldn't recommend going more than that amount though. At least not right away.

nofbar: I don't think that it could be. It helps make cellular respiration a little bit more efficient. So basically it helps energy break down, not store. And if it's not used your body just gets rid of it.

I did it again, although not intentionally. I took a before picture the next night in the same shirt for comparison. Again, this is an unpleasant way to do this! Stomach aches kept me up a lot of the night.

Basically eat what you're eating, but more. Make sure that you're still consuming enough to have a surplus at the end of the day. I'd pay close attention to protein that you're taking in. Protein is what you need to repair your body (muscles after swimming for example), but when there is nothing for the protein to repair it drops a nitrogen and stores as fat.

As far as your carbohydrates go, things like white bread and lighter colored pastas are much more efficiently turned to energy in your body, so they're perfect for fueling quick workouts, but also get stored as fat much more quickly than wheat breads and such.

Tche's onto it. Eating late just before bed means that just about the only energy being spent is digesting the food, so it only goes to restore your body (from energy spent over the day), and then stores everything else (fat!).

Try to have her eat irregularly. A few days of very small amounts of food followed by obscene amounts for a day or two, but keep it really random. The body is constantly in survival mode, so if it ever feels that there is a shortage of food, it is going to hang on to every bit of energy that it can when food is plentiful. When I'm helping clients lose weight, it all basically comes down to routine. So lack of routine means more weight!

Basically you'd be using her fast metabolism to your advantage.

Good luck ;-)

If you want to avoid carbohydrates more and you have a pretty sedentary lifestyle, a diet high in protein could be good. Protein in your body is used to rebuild damaged tissue from exercise, but if it has nothing to repair it drops a nitrogen and turns to straight fat.

Also going off of what Leener said, check out the glycemic index. The lower the number on the chart, the less energy it takes for your body to turn that sugar into energy, and if that energy goes unused, it gets stored ;-)

This game is so awesome! I've been playing it for hours since you shared it. I'm definitely not a furry, but it's easy enough to get past that stuff. I'm kind of in love with my character now as she gets fatter the more she adventures.

Do you know who made this?

Can't go wrong with pizzas! Carbs to make you feel full and round, and plenty of oils and protein to make it stick. Dang now I'm hungry...

Have a good weekend!

I just used Ziplock bags. One gallon for the front and a quart for each side. I filled them about 1/3 of the way full with flour, and then added water until I got the jiggle I was hoping for. They ended up being really heavy too, which added to the experience :-)

Here's some photos I took of the bags:
