Calorie Boosting Ideas?

1.) Make a bag of trail mix (nuts, dried fruit, jerky, M&M’s, ect) and make a point to munch on it all day. If you make, say, a 1000 calorie bag and be sure to finish it every day, you’re in good shape.

That’s it for now.[/quote]

I really like this idea, throwing together a bag of cashew nuts and beef jerky to snack on at any time can easily increase someone’s daily intake by 1000 kcal.

Imagine a bag of 100g of cashews and 100g beef jerky. You’ll get:

942 kcal
51g protein
40g carbs
69g fat

Any skinny kid who has trouble downing large meals should incorporate this feeding idea into their daily routine.

I meant coconut milk, oops :slight_smile: I’ll let you know how my progress goes, I hope to gain maybe 10 pounds in the 7 or so weeks I have before I go away for a week… maybe more coming off the back of being ill and such, assuming I get better very soon. I’m going to take some scales to Uni and make sure its moving week to week, no excuses. If I can succesfully gain at around a pound a week or above, I think it’ll give me good momentum and motivation to carry that that on over Christmas and into the New Year, it’s just about getting the ball rolling again for me I think.

I am also a university student with a very high metabolism. I hadn’t gained any weight in the past 4 years until I put a really serious effort into it.

I have a big plate of pasta every day. And I mix it with a ton of cheese that I grate, plus about 1/2 a cup of canola oil. This sounds (and looks) disgusting, but is actually very tasty. And has allowed me to gain 10 pounds in the last month.

Nah, mostly I just sit around in pain. It works though.

I’m sure I must be making progress, if only because of the bigass steak every night i’ve started having… still don’t have a weighing scale though so it’s hard to judge. I’m definitely much much closer to hitting what I need, even if i havn’t quite got it dead on yet.
