I need to up my cals to about 3,500 per day. I have absolutely no idea how I can do this "clean".
I use Cytogainer in between meals but still that only a counts for about 1,000/day.
Eating is hard for me. There is no way in I can maintain a 3,500 cal/day diet unless I am eating pizza or cheese burgers or something! (joke)
Any tips or ideas?????????
Thanks!

Ha I wish I could keep it under 3500. It's not that hard, liquids like milk and juice will help, as well as Peanut Butter and Olive Oil for healthy fats. Pasta is pretty calorically dense as well.

x2 on that, good thing I had a rocket metabolism back in high school
Adding a glass of milk to each meal will add an easy 400+ cals. That and I would make huge shakes. Something with like milk, pb, oatmeal, banana/fruit, whey/casein, etc. Easy calories... come to think of it, that's pretty much my PWO shake (minus the pb)

700 cals over 5 meals... not that hard... How about heres what I ate today and I'm at about 3500-4000 everyday right now
1.3 tuna sandwiches with a little low fat cheese for one meal.
2. A bagel with pb and a protein shake
3. Chicken, broccoli and rice
4. Asian Buffet (all sushi estimating each roll to be around 50 cals)
5. 3 eggs, protein shake, almonds and pb
There you go, that's how you do itJournal/LOG - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=172023491#post172023491

its not hard at all you just deny caloric dense foods
Use Olive Oil as your main fat source, oil will not fill you up at all pour it on your veggies and stirfrys
eat a lot of Oats and WW Pasta.. very caloric dense and not filling
Try eating lots of cottage cheese, yogurt, drink a lot of milk, and eat things like tuna and chicken and eggs which are very easy on the stomach,
drop those pre-made gainers and make your own with Whey, pb, oats, milk, and fruit
also snack on trail mix or granola throughout the day

i have hit over 3k calories without using milk, having more than 2 scoops of protein powder AND a lower fat diet as well.
i do no recall the absolute break down, but i know there was:
1 cup oats 300 cals
2 cans of tuna 380 cals
2 cup brown rice 440 cals
egg whites 200 cals
8 oz chicken breast 360 cals
2 scoops pro complex 260 cals
8 oz steak 570 cals
3 cups broccoli 180 cals
10 oz sweet potato 250 cals
2 cups cantaloupe 120 cals
then add in the tablespoon of olive oil in my eggs, a tablespoon of mayo with the tuna and the cream in my coffee and you are hitting 3200-3400.

Stop being a nancy, do you want to get bigger or not?
Sit your ass down and eat til you've eaten everything you're supposed to.
It can take me 30-45 minutes to finish some meals.
Liquid meals are a godsend. Get a blender and learn some good shake receipes.I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. -- Thoreau

According to your log, you only had 11% of your intake from fats. If you up that, you'll have no problem hitting 3500.
