couting calories right now..Easiest and healthiest way to get tons of Cal?

[Jerboy]

Hi,

I just got on scale and I lost like five lbs since two weeks ago, even though I had at least two meals a day and before bed snack and a few cans of sodas a day. My metabolism is pathetically fast. I eat, drink pop, sit on my ass, eat some microwaveable food and sit on my ass. Even then I really have to try maintaining my weight.

What is the most pleasant way for me to get 3,500-4,000 Cals a day? Pizza, peanut butter are okay sometimes, but I really don't like eating those all the time and my likes lean towards stuff like chicken, spaghetti, Taco Bell grilled stuff burrito and roast beef or ham sandwich w/o mayo, unbuttered rice and such. Greasy food is messy and I'm not a big fan of it. I dunno how much calories the foods I like(Calorie calculation is not always possible when you eat out alot and beside Cal calculaiton sucks) have and all I know is I'm not getting enough cals even though I eat until I'm full every time.

anyone??

Drink a slimfast shake with every meal.

Seriously! That can has somewhere around 400 calories in it for the 12oz that it's worth. Three of those a day and you've gain an extra meal easily.

maybe you have some kind of disease.

...or a tapeworm

Well, if you want the "healthiest way to get tons of" calories, eat olives and avocadoes. They high in fat (good fats) and are full of vitamins/minerals. Also, grains are almost completely made up of carbs, so are also packed with calories. But I doubt that many fast food restaurants have any of this stuff on their menu And try drinking orange juice instead of soda. hope that helps

Jerboy, metabolism will change w/ age. If you don't keep an eye on your diet, you might regret it. Key word, MIGHT

Thats true, but if I go below 3,000 a day or so, I literally start to burn my body and lose weight.
Tell you the truth, what I had today was more than I fancy to eat.




<< that is such a NON problem. Go cry somewhere else. >>




What do you such a non problem? You wouldn't recognize it as a problem until you experience it yourself. Do you realize its not a very pleasant thing to get on a scale only to see you lost one pound or stayed the same while you are trying to gain five pounds or so even after eating sh!t load of stuff?

 

[Nefrodite]

don't train your body to become efficient at putting on fat, you might end up a total fatass why 2 meals a day? eat 3! simple solution buy easy to prepare/instant food if need be.

as for healthy "fat".. thats like fish. salmons good stuff mmm grilled

mind your cholesterol and take in carbo pasta/rice/bread whatever.

calorie calculation reallly reallly sucks... I've been calorie NUTS past few days.

I use a calculator and digital scale to calculate my intake.

Today:

Breakfast from Denny's plus lemonade: 800Cal(guessing)

Lunch: left over pizza:400Cal

Dinner: spaghetti yet again 1190Cal

Ice cream: 240Cal

Coke: 140Cal

-----------------------------
1970Cal... Way too low by 1,500. Looks like I have to eat something before going to bed as usual.
