Q&A for How to Eat More Food

Snack on foods that are both tasty and easy to digest. Sipping on an energy-dense smoothie or soup might be a good starting point.

Try eating smaller meals and snacks! These might be easier to tolerate than a large meal.

Some people are underweight or looking to gain muscle mass.

You should go to your doctor and have them run some tests to determine the cause of your stomach problems. You might have acid reflux, for example, which is treatable with daily medication.

Try to distract yourself when eating, by watching something or sitting with other people. If you inform those closest to you of your wish to eat more, they will probably be supportive. Remember why you are doing this, even though it's hard.

Try to drink less water or liquid before eating so that you do not fill yourself up with that before a meal. Also, you can slowly increase your meal size so that you can gradually eat more. Do not try and eat a lot more all at once. If you feel you have an issue with your appetite, you can consult with your doctor.

If you're trying to gain weight, drink protein shakes. But if your goal is simply to eat more food, you should do the opposite; drink low calorie drinks like water, juice, Gatorade, etc., as these will not fill you up.

You can, but being "fat" is unhealthy. If you are underweight, you can certainly eat more food to gain weight, but you should stick with healthy foods like protein, vegetables, some carbs, grains, etc.

Getting hungrier throughout is completely normal and something you shouldn't be afraid of. As your body grows, you need more energy to keep you running efficiently. So, don't fight it and still eat a healthy amount and just make sure it isn't more than your body can handle.
