I'm extremely skinny and generally not really eating well. Since I'm already pretty nauseous in the morning, I can't force myself to eat very much.
So I thought to switch to blending at least milk, a banana, and bread (basically my current breakfast), add maybe a raw egg to it and just be done with it. Just today I considered investing in some protein powder I could start adding to the mix to maybe get a chance of fattening up while I am at it but then I wondered...does anyone have experience with supplemental like that?

OP, go see a nutritionist. You're in a delicate state, for the sake of your life you can't afford to experiment with liquid breakfasts and shit, especially if you're telling me you're nauseous in the mornings.

Yeah, go to a doctor.

Do your hands shake regularly OP?

OP I am in the same situation as you. I've always been skinny, but since moving out of my parents house I haven't been eating regularly. It's not that I'm too lazy to, its just that when I'm always busy and simply forget to eat. My solution to the problem was to buy lots of rice, beans, grits, and vegetables but I don't seem to be able to gain any weight and all of my ribs are visible.

Oh god, hands are noticeably shaky.

I don't have any money for a goddamned nutritionist though... should I just force myself to eat more? What is a normal amount of food to eat in a day?

About 2,200 calories, but it varies depending on your height and current weight. The best way to gain weight is fatty foods, especially milk and cheese; but beyond that it's all about willpower. I've never been able to gain any weight, so good luck to you.

As a former skinny dude add the following to your diet :Milk/Cheese (if youre not allergic), Oats for breakfast, Avacados and Eggs.

You don't need to see a nutritionist, but if you feel nauseous in the morning, that's reason to get a checkup. You might have an inadequate diet, a digestive condition, or maybe a food allergy that you're not aware of. Only a doctor could tell you for sure, though.

Otherwise, yes, lots of dairy and protein. Milk, cheese, eggs, red meat. Weight training will also help you bulk up.

Considered canned olives (assuming you like olives); that's what I've been doing lately. 1000 calories and all your daily fat to a can, and it's easy to just leave a can and fork by your computer and use it as a snack food.

The guy who suggested avocados is on to a good thing. They're very fatty, but super good for you. I put avocado on sandwiches like a spread.

The weight training suggestion was a good one, but do not do any weight training until you are eating more.

Instead of blending milk, a banana and bread with a raw egg, why don't you get some protein powder and make yourself a shake that actually tastes good and then cook 2 or 3 eggs for breakfast every morning.

Example day:
Breakfast - 2 eggs, cooked however you prefer, a protein shake
Mid-morning snack - some cheese and veggies
Lunch - A chicken sandwich with lettuce, cheese, avocado, maybe even bacon, and a little unprocessed sea salt (because fuck table salt)
Supper - A stirfry of veggies in the sauce of your choice with beef or chicken or pork or tofu or whatever, possibly served with rice or a rice/beans mixture.

That is a day with literally oodles of protein, tons of veggies, and a lot of calories in general. If you're super skinny, you want protein and you want fat. Don't suddenly start eating huge portions, ease into it, but get to the point where you're making sure to eat ~2000 calories every day.

Also, eat quinoa. You cook it the same way you do rice (2:1 water:grain ratio) and it has a shitload of quinoa. When it is finished cooking, mix in some kale and put the lid back on to let the kale steam for 10 minutes or so, then eat. Lots of protein, and it's delicious, especially with a little butter and some sea salt.

Have you thought about going to a doctor to see if you have an overactive thyroid?

In the morning, are you nauseous when you wake up or right after you eat?
