2 Cups Whole milk = 300 Calories
Another addition to a shake instead of water and you have an EASY 500+ calories.
Night time feedings are great too. That shake above (milk+whey) is a good one to toss back if you get up to piss in the “wee hours” of the night. I’ taking in 4000+ kcal a day right now; and that last 500 is my shake; and if I can’t take it down before I fall asleep…at 1am or so when i piss…i drink that. done. 
Buy some Mixed Dried Fruit and Nut, will contain some nice unsatfats and also has a shedload of kcals.
Peanuts are another great source of calories.

Peanuts + Olive Oil + Salt + Blender = Lovely savoury superkcalorific spread
That sounds awesome, I’ll have to try it.

Those posts in the thread you linked are great, and I’m not here to argue. I go by the nutritional information on the food I consume to count protein, calories, and carbs.
If I trust the nutritional information labels for these then I shall trust the nutritional information when it comes to fat, and cholesterol.
When I look at a carton of eggs and it says that one whole egg has 70% at 250 grams of cholesterol, I’m going to go by i’m going to trust it.
This is irrelevant, and incorrect thinking.
Yes, it does say that it is 70%, but keep in mind that is based on a diet compose of roughly 2,000 calories… not a diet for people looking to gain muscle.
Point #2… .just because a food has cholesterol does not mean it is a bad thing. Cholesterol is needed to produce testosterone… and as you eat more cholesterol your internal organs manufacture less. There have been multiple studies conducted and people who eat whole eggs are not more likely to have heart disease. Your making general, and somewhat unsupported statements and assumptions.
Eat your whole eggs. I sometimes will eat 4 a day quite frequently and my HDL is excellent, and my family has a history of heart disease. (so if eggs were so bad, my lipid profile should be out of wack)
Do some simple searching on PubMed, or read some scholarly articles if you do not believe me.
Again, I’m not here to argue. In my personal experience I went through a time where money was really tight and instead of eating 10 egg whites a day I went to 5 whole eggs a day, along with a few other cut backs. I went to my doctor and my cholesterol jumped from the mid 100’s up to 230.
At the age of 27 I feared having a heart attack even though I was in better shape than I have been in my entire life. Since then I quit eating whole eggs for the most part, and my cholesterol has gone back to normal. I’m basing this off of personal experience, not to state that anyone else’s experiences or opinions are wrong.

yes, there is a personal aspect to it.
I would suggest that if it is a concern to the OP that he have his blood checked to prevent his mass diet from impacting his HDL, LDL.
Perhaps the difference was that i used omega 3 eggs, IF money was tight, I would doubt you were able to consume 5 omega 3 eggs?
Anyways, I have the same concerns as you due to family history.
I just think for periods of time, if monitored, theres nothing wrong with eggs for breakfast. (especially if you take fish oil, and have omega 3 eggs, to combat the inflammatory effect of Omega 6’s)
No conflict here.

You would be correct that I did not buy Omega 3 eggs. I bought what was on sale at the time and the cheapest. I have my blood checked yearly now, so I can keep up on my cholesterol . (it sucks considering I’m not even 30 yet to have to worry about this)
To to OP, I apologize, as that I didn’t mean to hijack your thread.

A little low on total calories, but you already said that yourself. All that protein is going to get wasted if you don’t supply your body with enough energy to actually synthesize tissue.
I would try to add a lot more fruits & veggies (also helps with your fiber intake, which is too low)
Quite carb-heavy overall, which is fine for bulking and if you can metabolize them well, but i would suggest you replace around 30% of your carb calories with fat, especially on the meals after your post W/O meal.
Whey before bed is suboptimal, since it’s a fast protein (better than nothing, but there is better choices for pre-sleep protein).[/quote]
How exactly does one not waste the protein? And how do I supply my body with enough energy to synthesize tissue? Thanks.

all you do is you eat the protien,your body will know what to do with it
you wont “waste it” it will use wha tit needs and get rid of the rest
how you supply your body with enough energy is simply eat
fats and carbs will proviode the energy and the protien will supply the means to regenerate tissue
supposed to anyways.
if your diet is ballanced this is what happens .
in short,just eat and dont worry your body will know what to do.
