Weight gain - I feel like a cow, but I don't look like a cow yet!

Well when you are actively growing of course you're gonna need more calories. I wouldn't say that's a ridiculous amount of food, you could probably do with more calorie-dense foods eg. peanut butter, pasta, juice etc. At the end of the day, enjoy it now, cos once you're like me and past the teen years - without lots of free time to exercise, and growth cessation etc. you'll soon see why so many peaple the world over are overweight or with health problems. It's damn hard coming off eating infinitely to actually limiting portions, and it's hard cos by eating healthy you don't leave much space for junk (unless you don't mind overweight-ness). For me, general health is more important.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
