Question Weight gain food?

I'm really trying to gain some serious weight. I need some ideas on some high-calorie, low-filling foods. Peanut butter sandwiches is a personal favourite, but need some other good ideas. Thanks.

Re: Weight gain food?

Steak, even the higher fat ones, is my favorite. Some others I used to bulk up are skim milk, mixed nuts, cheese, protein shakes, eggs, and all other forms of red meat. I did eat a lot of chicken breast and veggies also. I added bulk with very little fat.

Re: Weight gain food?

Since you can tolerate the calories, try to go for more fat, but make it EFAs (which are actually helpful in staying lean and hormone regulation) instead of saturated fat when you can help it. Some fatty red meat is ok, but you're just asking for health problems later if you go in excess. Fat is good for bulking because it's calorie dense and not terribly filling. Add avocados, nuts, different nut butters, but a Tbsp or two of Flax or Udo's oil into protein shakes (but NOT a post workout shake), olive oil to soups or salads. Like pokerplayer, you probably want to add muscle without gaining fat so you'll need to gauge how your body responds to the increased calories and nutrients and adjust accordingly.

How many times a day are you eating and what does your diet/workout look like now? What do you eat and when? And what are your current stats?

Re: Weight gain food?

Right now, I only weight 130lbs. The past few months, I was working 2 jobs, and was able to maintain my weight at only 1500 calories/day. My new diet consists of 6 meals/day; added 1000calories/day = 2500 calories/day.

I'm still looking for specific high-calorie, low-filling foods. I know there might be some controversy with this, but I am a long time sufferer of acne, so there are a lot of foods (which seem to be good for weight gain) that I do have to avoid.
