So I'm supposed to consume 2500 to 3400 calories a day. I'm only up to 850 today with 129 grams of protein so far. I can't imagine having to eat 3 or 4 times what I'm already eating. I guess I'm gonna have to start doing supplements.

You don't need supplements, you need to figure out what you're doing. A typical restaurant meal is probably over 1000 cals, so that should give you an idea that it's not too difficult to reach 2500-3400. What are you eating right now such that a day's worth of intake is only 850 cals????

1 Large pizza is approximately 3500 cals depending on where it's from. Not the best source of calories, but a good example that it isn't difficult to hit that number in an entire day.

I have a hard time eating BELOW 3500 calories. I can't imagine not LOVING to eat.

I could easily eat 4000+, but my superiorly stupid body has a metabolism that could be outrun by a 2 year old kid on a tricycle. I always keep under 2500 and aim for 1800-2000 every day, which is just to every so slowly lose weight. Im talking 1-2lbs per week.

3 scoops whey
1 cup oats
24 oz milk
2 tbsp natty PB
1 banana

Mix it up in a blender and drink. It's not very filling but contains ~1200 cals.

I absolutely hate everything about eating, and even I have a very hard time eating below 3500 cals.


Just track calories and increase as needed. Easier said than done, but that's really all it takes.

I can't even imagine not loving eating...oh wait...uh...nope, I can't imagine it. I think about food non stop. When I smell food, I salivate and get excited like I did when I was a kid on christmas morning. It's pretty impressive really...I sometimes eat until I bleed internally. I try to look 7 or 8 months pregnant with food at least once a day.

pancakes with a crap load of eggs and pancake mix, whey protein, mixed berries or any fruit really, and through in some natty pb if u want. 4-500 calories per 10 inch pancake, worked for me when bulking. and it actually tastes really good.

I still don't get how people have prolems not eating enough. I can still eat even when I'm not hungry (which really drives me crazy btw).

I DESPISE eating. My cheat days are days when I dont have to eat anything. (which can hurt you during a bulk obviously)

Step 1: buy food. Step 2: eat food.

850 calories can be consumed in 1 meal-easily.

If your body responds fine to a crapload of malto/sugar than weightgainers are acceptable. As body pointed out, it's a hell lot easier to drink cals than eat them. MuscleJuice Banana flavour tasted so good that I find myself preparing shakes even when I don't need them!

if you are down on calories and need a quick boost this is personally what I have found to be the best fix:

2 cans of red beans/kidney beans. Heat those up in a pot, then drain the liquid, put it in the bowl and add olive oil, lemon juice and dill weed. That is a 1000+ calorie meal right there

Breakfast!

This is an example of a comfortable breakfast that I could eat.

8 eggs sunny side up
4 pieces of toast
2 pieces of bacon
2 pieces of ham
2 pieces of turkey

Id be willing to be thats close to if not over 1000 cals right there and I eat just that the morning after every thanksgiving.

When my dad makes deer meat cheese burgers ( we have deer meat ground ) I usually end up eating 6 or so plus a can of corn and a bag of those lipton chicken flavored noodles.

But those days aren't all that often so its ok : )
