But whenever I get anywhere near that, I start putting on weight.

I don't feel fatigued at all.

I didn't give you the portion sizes. Breakfast is typically 800 calories, lunch is 600 and dinner is 800.

As for the dietician, she was taught that the Canadian Food Guide was the end-all, be-all. My diet, with very few carbs, did not meet what she was saying so she wanted nothing to do with it. If you are a goalie coach that specializes in teaching the butterfly and someone comes in that flops around like Hasek, you tell them you want nothing to do with their style. If that is what they are being taught in university... *shrug*
Not to be rude, but are you putting on Fat or lean muscle. Depending on your current body composition you can "put on weight" and still be healthy.

I know you have posted about your weight a fair bit, so I assume you are aware of the different types of "weight" gain.

BTW, if I was you I would throw your scale away, unless you have been given a target weight by a doctor. If you haven't then focus and trust how you feel. It can say as much about your health/fitness/weight gain as any scale.
