gaining weight is simple just up your calories, its forceing the food down thats the tricky bit.

Im always trying to up my calories. Im so sick of eating. For a while i was drinking two 1400 calorie shakes a day, and gained a good 10 lbs. then i just stopped gaining though. Now im drinkin one one those shakes almost every day and im holding even. SO sick of them though. I know thats prolly the only answer to the problem though. calories.

I know what you mean, I'm currently trying to take in around 4500 cals. a day and I'm fed up with it but it does get easier with time.

try some straight up olive oil man. 1 cup of regular olive oil is around 1000 calories. A cup isnt that much and it only takes 30 seconds to down it. so drink 4 cups all at once or spread through out the day and bam u just did 4000 calories. wash it down with a cup of juice and you will easily get rid of he taste. only thing to make sure of is that you eat your proper amount of protein which is quite easy. olive oil has colesterol but colesterol combined with protein turns into high density lipids and you wont have to worry about clogged arteries and such.

i dont think drinking olive oil by the cup full is a particularly good idea mate. get the calories from food its much better and if you want empty calories ice cream is far far nicer and real easy to eat.

if you eat alot of colesterol then no matter how much protein you take in you will still have a high colesterol level.
