    Easy ways to get extra calories?

    What are some easy ways to get some extra calories in your daily diet? I try to drink as much milk as possible but what else?

    I am bulking and I'm trying to have a good calorie surplus going.
    The true mark of a bodybuilder is being humble enough to handle a 20-pound weight and smart enough to make it feel like a 40-pound weight. So get over yourself and your high and mighty attitude and humiliate yourself. You haven't lived until you have voluntarily made a fool of yourself and survived with your ego intact. It's a milestone in your life. -- "Big Cat"

    Well you have to have the right ratio of macro-nutrients in too, that is not to be ignored.

    I don't like peanut butter or peanuts, its hard to force them down my throat even though I want the calories. Other nuts such as walnuts are also expensive, I need an alternative.

    starchy carbohydrates like pasta, potatoes etc, milk actually isn't that high in calories :P but drinking quite a bit of it is good because of the calcium and protein. what about bulking powders? can offer like 500 calories in a scoop if you're really skinny and trying to get mass. but if you don't have sky high metabolism you don't want to take them

    I have a weight gainer, I take in 800 calories in it combined with the milk. Potatoes have a lot of carbohydrates? I've noticed, I'll try to incorporate it into my diet but I don't want to make french fries with it. Any ideas on making it tasty and healthy?

    I'll also put pasta in my diet, I'll start making it myself I can't rely on my mother anymore lol.

    Thanks.

    Potatoes don't exactly have a good ratio of macro-nutrients.. so I guess you should ignore them as well. (NOT SRS)

    not really, yes keep it in check but dont be over-the-top anal with it. if you want more calories something is going to have to change at least a little, and some extra fat wont kill you.

    if you really dont like pb, then look into olive oil or flax seeds as said above.

    Thanks lmao.

    I just meant you need the right ratio of macro-nutrients through out the day because the person above said to eat anything high in fat.

    Serious Mass works great if you use it right, if on budget feel free to make your own gainer.

    2 cups whole milk
    2 tbsp. Peanut butter
    1 cup Greek yogurt (pick a flavor to go with your whey)
    2 tbsp. Of seed mix (flaxseed, etc.)
    1 scoop whey isolate (I prefer optimum nutrition)
    2 raw eggs (you want to up the amount of eggs you get a day and this is an easy way, also great source of good protein.)
    1 cup uncooked quick cook oats (300cal)

    Blended together, great tasting shake and your looking at anywhere from 1000 calories to more like 1300 calories

    I used to be a really skinny guy and this shake I made myself plus my added 4+ meals a day put me up from 6-4" @170lbs to now at 205lbs. This took about 1 year to complete and I'm still a very lean individual.

    P.S. stay away from the synthetic weight gainers from your local nutrition shop. There is no telling what your actually getting and actually putting away. Remember none of these supps. Are regulated by the FDA.

    Thanks, David
