Newbie trying to gain mass. Forcing yourself to eat more gets easier, right?

Still struggling to get anywhere near 2,000 calories a day. Tips?

Calories in a Big Mac = 563
Large McDonald fries = 510
Large McDonald milkshake = 488

There's 1561 calories just for lunch. Throw in a large Coke and you're at 1871. You're welcome. If you're trying to eat "bro foods", there's your problem.

This to an extent. Tons of foods out there with a good amount of calories. PBJ and glass of whole milk is another example.

Yeah, for sure.

OP, I'm not encouraging a diet of fast food. I am encouraging you to forget the idea of "clean eating" or a "bro diet" consisting of chicken, broc****, and oats. Eat real food - in fact ANY food - in moderation.

Some days I will have 2k calories down by my mid afternoon snack.

Here i'll help you..


1 Avocado
8oz sirloin steak
medium baked potato
large salad
pint of good ice cream


that's over 2000 in one meal.

damn... so difficult.

Yes, it gets easier.

But the best suggestion, as most people here gave you is to find calorie dense foods.
Fatty meats, peanut-butter (sandwiches), nuts, full fat products instead of low fat variants.

& another one -> Drink what you can't eat.
Not specifically talking about sugar loaded drinks, that's just **** (IMO, my body doesn't take processed sugars well).
Shakes with added stuff like banana, PB, oats, et cetera. Fruit smoothies. Full fat milk.
