I am easily meating my protein and carb conditions but hell I believe I am WAY below my caloric intake... its not like i wanna go eat a piece of pizza just to make up for it so any ideas?

Re: how do i get extra calories?
A tablespoon of flax seed oil has 130 calories and is full opf EFA's.An essential supp in my opinion,take at least 3 spoonfuls daily,it'll increase your test levels too.Originally posted by LakeMountD

A cup of milk has about 110 cals. Try a couple of cups throught the day. I also take the flax oil.

Flax is way better than peanut butter
buy the oil and not the pills...its not that expensive...especially if you buy it in large quantities....make sure its not too much though...only lasts about 5 weeks after opening. Fat is very important and should not be neglected, and is very calorie dense food."Change is Inevitable, Progress Isn't"

You may have to up the amount of protein and carbs as well, to reach your daily calorie quota, but you didnt mention fat, so I'd look into that first.

Here's an easy way to find out: Give us your daily diet and figure out how much protein, carbs, fat, and calories you consume. IMO, it is very easy to add extra calories. Hell, a cup of oatmeal has 300cal. in eat. But anyway, let us know your diet and we can help out.

okay its hard to say my exact diet because of college but here is a sample.. each number corresponds to something i ate throughout the day..
1. 1 1/2 cups oats 1.25 cups fat free milk
2. bananna
3. triple stack sandwich (2 slices of pepper jack cheese, 7 slices of turkey, 3 pieces whole wheat bread, 3 slices of tomatoes, onions, lil bit of lettuce), pickle
blueberry muffin
4. bananna, cup of milk
5. can of tuna (35 g of protein serving)
6. myoplex shake with extra whey (45g protein total)
7. for dinner its strange, since they dont offer high quality foods really then i just get the rolled up meat, so i get 3 slices of ham, 3 of turkey, and 3 of roast beef, salad with tomatoes, rice, and a lil bit of beef strips with my rice and usually some pasta as well..
the turkey slices are like 6 x 4 inches (but an ellipse)..
thats a typical day... again its really hard cause im at school..Last edited by LakeMountD; 12-14-2002 at 08:08 AM.

Everyone automatically recomends healthy fat when someone is trying to get more calories. I would first get them from protein and carbs, and then fat.

Hmm...did'nt think it had to be one or the other. "Flax is way better than peanut butter" is a pretty vague statement, but if you mean a better fat source, then, sure, you're right. But since several people already suggested flax, I think peanut butter is another great way to add clean calories. Obviously plenty of fats, but also protein, carbs, and even some fiber. Now...how many words is that??Originally posted by Zen_Lifter

I agree totally, except he said that he is easily meeting his protein and carb quota each day...but didnt say anything about fat....thats why I mentioned it.Originally posted by Mark21087
