Quick, before the evil MONday gets here! Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That. Sadly. But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top. I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
Also I take a lower dose lamictal and I can only take it in the morning….I have trouble sleeping if I take a second night dose.
Glad you are getting some walks in! I love walking….
There are small meals that you can try here that help with gaining. That one meal you do have you can make sure you are getting in meals that could help with that and there are some tips in the article. 14 small meals in the article.

A way to save room for another meal is instead of doing a protein shake that can be really heavy. Do a protein that is going to be more like a beverage. Like having a glass of lemonade or something fruity by doing a protein like this... which is a lot lighter and you can really have fun sweetening it up too and add some fruit and have fun with it.

Just look close when looking at those because there is collagen drink mixes and protein drink mixes like those.
Make changes in places that you can . If you can't eat more its okay. There are ways to try something different in places you are already making changes and a effort.
Those are some tips I have. I know it may not be what you are looking for with finding a way to increase appetite but, these are things you may be able to incorporate now with where you currently are at that may be able to help make a bit of a difference.
If you can try to have milk or a milk beverage before bed. When you sleep your metabolism kicks into over drive. The casein in the milk will help protect any muscle you are gaining or weight and help you not lose the progress you are making. You can maybe even try adding a cup with your meal or having another glass or 2 during the day.
Just trying to think of things off the top of my head from body building friends and previous customers with high metabolisms. I hope you are able to find little things to try that are new and get the progress you are looking for. Change takes time but, I hope you are able to accomplish what you are wanting. sending hugs!
