    Olive oil is a healthy fat, which is very calorie dense. Give it a try.

    You've been told roughly ~31 times but you still don't seem to get it. I'll spell it out one last time:

    EATING IN A CALORIE EXCESS MEANS YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT! DO A SEARCH ON AMOUNT OF CALORIES IN OLIVE OIL!
    "I added some db curls with the pink weights for a bit of a burn." - Rookiebldr

    "im assuming the holy (big) 3 are: curls, bench, legs?" - Saggas

    "had a huge ass burn on my triceps while I was doing those kickbacks, so they'll likely be staying with my exercise program." - Zearoth

    "most of my burned calories coming from something called Basal. Wtf does a leaf have to do with any of it?" - Votorx

    "We have a lot of people like that on our campus, all hippies and things, that go around preaching against corporations, jocks, preps, accountants, and anyone else that feels the need to shower more than occasionally." - Shankerr

    For the record, 'light tasting' olive oil is much easier to drink than the regular stuff and it has the same ammount of calories.

    ya i love the taste of it, i put 3 shots in my weight gainer and protein shake today each... and i'll likely have another shot later..... 7oz today .. not bad :P

    I should start a blog or thread or something to track my weight gain while consuming 4-8oz of olive oil on top of 4350 cals per day :P

    I use instant oats with a little dextrose twice a day but read that steel cuts oats are better. How do you prepare it, do you just blend it raw together with all the rest of the ingredient? Thanks!

    If I use a 1/2 cup or more oatmeal I use a coffee grinder for the oatmeal and then a stickblender. Otherwise I just use the stick blender.

    I just stir it in really fast into my shakes last, mixes well..and if the shot hits your stomach too fast just take a couple table spoon fulls instead.

    Ya my olive oil is 125cals per 15ml..... 1 shot is one ounce which is 30ml..so every shot is 250cals.... times 8 = 2000calories alone......

    so i was eating 4350cals a day trying to bulk...some olive oil is going to put me up 6350 a day and i'm adding an extra weight gain shake per day so i'll be at almost 7500cals.

    If i dont gain, then i would really like to know why.

    Yesterday i ate 8230cals on fitday

    Yes. I mean I guess you could use lemon and salt if you wanted too, or you could chase it with water/protein shake. Also that would be an awsome pic.
