Fast things to make with lots of calories?

[Alphathree33]

I'm trying to get bigger but I can never get enough calories.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1: I don't like artificial crap. I don't want to hear about creatine-this, whey-that, or hemoglobinsucrouse-h20-alpha-tango-in-a-bottle. REAL FOOD ONLY.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: I don't do weight lifting; I do sports. Please, no exercise advice.

Here are somethings already on my list:
-- Chili
-- Hearty stew with lots of meat and veggies
-- Pasta

Suggestions?

I am all for a very good, hearty stir fry... You could use steak or chicken then sautee in some firm, silken tofu, veggies of your choice and then put it over BROWN rice. Add your choice of sauce in the veggies and meat.
I like to do a mix of soy sauce, ginger powder and a bit of fresh ginger, olive oil, lime juice and some red pepper flakes!

This is about as fast and calorie dense as it gets. Throw the following into a blender:

skim milk
whey protein
rolled oats
natural PB
bananas
olive oil

Adjust the proportions of each to suit your caloric needs.

Also how are you going to get bigger if you don't lift weights?

I think pasta is probably one of the best. I too am looking for this -- I am a thin guy, but I don't want to eat a lot of sodium (aka frozen food) or nasty trans fat (aka fast food).

Depends how much you want to spend.. Whole Foods has some pretty good frozen food with a decent # of calories.

I think beans, bread, and pasta are some good bets, with a moderate amount of red meat and chicken.

Chilli? Fast?... you must not be making it right 😉

Slice bacon into a frying pan, few thin bits of onion, garlic, cook for like 2 minutes, red pesto (the sun dried tomato stuff), little water, cook for 2 minutes, lots of cream. Put it on pasta.

That's loads of calories, carbs, fat + protein in the bacon and cream. Takes exactly 5 minutes.

Breakfast: bowl of cereal (honey bunches of oats almond, whole milk)

Lunch 1: turket, ham, cucumber, pepperjack sammich

Lunch 2: Gala or Fuji Apple, Bananna, Granola bar x2, Bowl of cereal.

Dinner: 1.5 cups of uncooked rice cooked, a 16oz Strip steak with about 20 asparagus spears.

Dinner (alt): 2 Chicken breasts, Green/Red Bell Peppers, same amount of rice etc....


Edit: Didnt read about the "fast preparation" part. I usually take a long time preparing my meals because I value taste over everything else including my lazyness 😛

Is tiamat a reference to the Kzin?

beans, meat, carbs (bread or pasta)... those will give you the protein needed to build muscle and the carbs for energy.. then of course throw in a few servings of whatever veggies you like.

You could make burritos, Chipotle-style. One Chipotle burrito with cheese and sour cream has over 1200 calories.
