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.

Easy ways to get extra calories?
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.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.

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.

mass gainer shake (homemade)
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
