Yeah I went through same phase.. after 2 years realized u dont actually need a pound per pound of protein.. if u weigh 130.. just target 100g.. be a little plus minus of that..
What helped me was making sute i had the healthy meals.. they made me so full i gradually didn't have it in me to eat the other non healthy foods... And slowly built up the appetite.. it takes time.. u shudnt target drastic changes in ur diet or you'll give up soon for lack of motivation
One thing you can do that doesn't necessarily increase your appetite but does get you calories more easily is drinking your calories.
An all fruit smoothie, protein shake, milkshake, or a blend of all three can give you around 800-1200 kcal in about 24 oz.
It's much easier for me to drink calories than chew them. Plus most of the stuff that goes into smoothies, shakes, etc, is high in calories and or protein and fat.

When I want to increase my appetite, I make sure to plan out meals & snacks to eat on a schedule. Even better if your eating schedule is arranged to complement your sleep, hunger spikes, & activity level.
Since your ghrelin hormone has a hard time activating, you might need to look up things to help activate it. And if that still doesn't help much, you're going to have to just force yourself to eat & stretch your stomach out. But ofc, don't do it too quickly. Just start upping your caloric intake more and more each day with a similar volume of food and you should be good.
It may also help to get a good amount of carbs & sugars in at the same time you eat protein, which helps combat the satiated feeling that protein gives.
I highly recommend this video. He's eats enough for 2 grown women so you'll definitely need to modify, but the general advice he gives is nice. It really helped me a lot!
Eh, you just have to stuff your face and feel full all the time. Eat a lot of eggs, meats, beans, and snack on stuff like yogurt, cottage cheese, and nuts.
There's also this protein powder mix you can get that's loaded with calories and protein. It does make you kind of chubby however... But that's why people typically go through bulking and cutting seasons. Stretchmarks may be an issue too...
Another method is "dirty bulking" where you eat a lot of unhealthy fast food and snacks.
130 grams of protein is an awful lot for someone who's only eating 900kcals a day. Gut dysbiosis can run amok on your appetite, so maybe look at what foods you're feeding your gut microbiome. You're far more likely to be fibre deficient than protein deficient.
It's a gm of protein per kilo of body weight, not a gram/pound. That will damage your kidneys.
Eating every 3 hours or 6 meals a day is a good way to keep your eyes intake up but I agree, not junk.
Lean meats and veggies. No starches or sugars. Starches being breads, pasta, potatoes and rice. Small amounts of fruits.
We should swap diets, lol, how do you manage only eat 900, I would die 😂 Sugar makes you hungry, so if you really want to increase calories, drink sone soda with your meal.
If you have a low appetite then eat calorie dense foods more. Meaning foods that are small in size but high in calories
Drinking serious mass protein drink that will help you gain weight and also increase your appetite
One scoop is 625 calories
u You have to eat all day several meals and taking in a lot of protein. If you’re not hungry just eat anyway. Make sure to get a lot of exercise as well that increase appetite
That was hard for me I had to force it at first until I got use to it
Eating more meals a day in smaller portion is the base line. With in between snacks!
Do you gain weight easily?
Junk foods?
😂😂😂
Beefcake probably
Salt your food more
do not force it lol
