here’s some photos of my main meal in the day - if you have any tips for what i can add onto my plate let me know! 

hi so about 5 months ago (nov) i lost my period at 40kg (for reference im 161cm/5”3 and 18 years old) and only went to the doctor over a month ago, and was told to gain weight if i want to get it back. from that point for a year, i had been working out inconsistently but tracking very carefully at maintenance (1700 calories) and sometimes at a deficit (1400-1600), and since jan 2025 i’ve lost almost 10kg. 

now after upping my calories to 2000 for the past month, im at \~43kg and safe to say i have a lot of energy but gosh im always constipated, inflamed, and extremely bloated and gassy! and i eat enough protein and fat and carbs in my meals, but even then i don’t feel fully satiated and tend to overeat (no junk food tho, i lowk just crave fruit, dried fruit and dark chocolate when i overeat) until my stomach hurts  (which is something i never used to do before). 

anyway, i drink peppermint tea like twice a day and i eat turmeric and chia seeds and fibre but it hasn’t helped the constipation or the bloating. i did actually get my period back for 5 days but it was super light and only spotting. 

for reference, i go to the gym 3-4x a week and walk 5-10k steps a day. although im happy my body is starting to feel safe again, i miss havjng a flatter stomach overall, so ive gone back to 1700 but it hasn’t done much for my gut. any tips?
