I would reduce breakfast fruit. No mango. Just the 1/2 cup strawberries. Having steel cut oatmeal is a good suggestion too. It does help with cholesterol and blood sugar stability. Just make sure to add nuts and milk to it for more protein. Pumpkin seeds are super nutritious and great with oatmeal. Add in some chopped dried figs for extra calcium.
For lunch, instead of the bar, maybe make a chia seed pudding out of your milk. Add a couple tablespoons chia seeds. They have tons of fiber and calcium

I’ve been trying to increase portions for sure and your ideas are good ones. I think overall I just need more food and possibly adding some whole grains will get me there.
The plan is to recheck at the three month mark and if I’m still not where I’d like to be I think I will try a CGM device that might help me understand how my body is processing the food I’m eating
I think intermittent fasting is probably not for you. You don’t and shouldn’t lose weight and I think you are having a hard time getting enough calories in because of that. I think your bone density should be top priority- since that is difficult to treat and once it is gone it is gone. Getting enough calcium, vitamins and CALORIES are extremely important to prevent bone and muscle loss. This outweights any potential blood sugar benefits. You can control your blood sugar in other ways.
Also, you should be taking a vitamin D/k2 supplement. It helps with your bones and cholesterol
