anyone a nutritionist?

I'm sorry DDH as I can feel that this is really frustrating you. I think it's smart from you to see a nutritionist and seek solutions to this. I don't believe in thin = healthy, but feeling miserable, to begin with, is not healthy.

She starts going through her class and tells us that 1/2 of our calorie intake a day should be carbs and that I should only be eating at the most 4 oz of meat a day.
She gave us a diet type plan, but for me and our lifestlye I just don't feel like 4 ozs of meat a day is realistic nor is all the carbs she wants me to eat.
It was my impression or from what I thought I had learned, carbs, if not used goes straight to storage IE: fat cells.

I'm not sure how she defines "meat", but maybe eggs are outside of that definition. Deer sausage, however, certainly is part of that definition, and also probably the fattiest type of meat...

Meat is not the only type of protein. And it is one of the least healthy forms of protein. So you want to keep that low, even if you don't have to become a vegetarian. Lentils, soy products, and even vegetables have protein as well. Over the recent year I have become mostly a vegetarian, mainly because I dislike white meat (poultry), so most days I eat veggie and on the weekend I will sometimes have a very nice dinner with a rare piece of a very fine steak, the kind that's very expensive so it's a small portion anyway. I eat one egg every morning at breakfast, though, because it's the only thing that keeps my stomach feeling full until about lunch time.

I think the others have given very wise advice.

I'd encourage you to try the nutritionist's pattern, if by slightly modifying it (ex: by adding an egg, but not more meat), but as little as you can, for a couple of months. See if there are results of any time. If you keep gaining weight after all things are counted and all exercise is done (it's important to keep the exercise up), then perhaps getting a second medical opinion would be a good thing for you.

Having a group of buddies might help too, for the exercise part at least, until the nicer days of winter...

Good luck - big hug
