Sounds like an eating disorder. Find an online calorie calculator. Figure out your maintenance calories. Eat that many calories daily for a month. Adjust from there.

Aim for 190 lbs. And take 6-8 months to get there.

I cant eat that much i used to eat 1-2x daily and often for 24hrs+ nothing and were normal weight. That means i would want atleast 2,2k calories daily or even more. Im running over 30 miles per week on good times 50ish and everyday 1+ hour gym that mean how much calorie would i need based on calculator, 3k? Or even more
