its not just 'calories' yur trying to get here, sorry but the olive oil idea isn't right.

anybody could easily get to 10000 calories a day, we could just drink lard all day couldnt we! wouldnt build muscles tho.

Trying adding more calorie-rich foods in your diet that comprise of good fats and proteins such as peanut butter

rofl,
its a simple formula jack, like whats already been said your simply not taking in enough calories.
You seem to have alot of liquid too, try lining your stomach with some good solid foods first before consuming liquids.
A good one to get you started would be a nice BIG Bowl of oats in the morning.
ive also got a philosophy that if its slower to come out the other end then your more likely to put on weight.
So try blocking yourself up with some good vitamins and iron tablets.

But seriously you should take vitamins with iron while bulking in my opinion.
Theres no explination of science that i can give you, but its what works for me and plus you want to eliminate any possibility of any sort of deficiency.

Hi Jack , I'm in the same boat as you, I'm definitely not a "hard-gainer", as I can put on a wee bit muscle, but I do forget to eat . . .

I'll go for maybe 6 hours without eating, then it dawns on me "I'm hungry" !

I've taken advice from this forum and ordered whey protein, also started making up smoothies for in-between meals . . Also tuna mayo ready mixed in fridge (very convenient) .

Try a variety of smoothies, I've a thread asking the guys for their recipes . . . Garrilla suggested ice-cream, its real nice added to your smoothies.

Need to eat very frequently, every 3 hours feels crazy for me, but it seems to be what the big lads are doing.

Good Luck

4500? I wish. I have to consume 7500 to maintain what I have and 1500 on top to gain about 3lbs a week.

I virtually have to eat every hour.
