I realised Ive been a skelly for the first 5 months of hrt, cant redistribute fat if there's no fat to redistribute right?
so I started counting calories trying to hit 2500 per day im doing it but its such an effort, I refuse to believe people manage to do this by accident.
Ive litterally been forcing nuts down my throat for the past couple days and keeping count.
what do you people like to do to gain weight?

Eat calorie dense food. Energy bar manufacturers often try to pack as much calories into as tiny space as possible so they're not a bad place to look. It's an easy to pack in an extra 300-400 cal without eating a lot.
McDonald's. All three meals. Or as a snack twice a day.
Meals = large meal and a snack sandwich
Snacks = 2 or more things from value menu.

Sugars and fat. The taste they make when combined is the basis of almost every culinary delight you will find the west.
Sugars in particular cause a disproportionate surge in your blood insulin levels which stores your blood sugar as fat and leaves you hungry.
Fat is so calorie dense that an adequate portion will leave your stomach mostly empty. It is therefore easy to overeat.
Salt can add to the addictive qualities of these foods, it brings out many flavors which are otherwise overwhelmed.
Both salt and sugar make you thirsty. Up to a certain point, you can't tell being thirsty from being hungry because the same hormone, histimine, is used to signal them both.
Go for a small increase every day, don't neglect proteins or fiber.

eat carbs, not nuts
nuts would be better to lose weight even though they are high calorie
I just eat potato chips and they make me gain weight like crazy
also at 5 months myself, enjoy your new butte!

I get the science behind it (a little anyway) but im not sure how to find foods that are calorie dense, cheapish and not super filling. I will try energy bars though

Might be a good idea to eat more red meats and healthy starches. Also consider lifting and have some protein supplements.

eating is hard if you are not used to shoving food in your mouth every hour

The same way you lose weight is kinda the same way you gain weight:
Eat foods that taste good. except instead of eating healthy foods, eat terrible foods.
Fried chicken.
Fried fish
large burgers with cheese bacon and mayo.
bacon wrapped anything.
Also, a sedentary lifestyle helps.
Do you jog everyday?
Do it once a week.
play more video games
watch more movies (film critics are notoriously pudgy)
