    Milk with loads of Nutella (heaped tbsp) heated up is gorgeous - don't know the calories off the top of my head but it's high :)

    That is a waste of good cheesecake.

    I know, I was thinking the same thing, haha! I'm like, if I can fit cheesecake into my day, I'm not gonna waste it by liquefying it. I want to enjoy every bite.

    To each their own, though.

    come back to me and this forum and tell us that when you are trying to bulk and can't eat enough.

    You could always drink Ensure or something like that. They're pretty high calorie and small so it won't feel like you're trying to chug down a gallon of milkshake.

    Just in case there's anyone else reading along - Ensure is 220-250 calories/cup. It's notably less dense than a cup of milkshake, or about the same as a cup of whole milk made into chocolate milk. It does have a vitamin pill dissolved in it, and it feels enough like "not food" that I can eat it when I hate food, but it isn't inherently better than a cup of chocolate milk and a vitamin pill.

    No kidding, Jo...I'm starting to have those days. Last night I had to do PB with a whole milk/heavy cream chaser.

    Seriously- if you have never bulked- you have no idea how easy it is to under eat and accidentally miss you goals. it's less about the delicious food and all about the get it in- one way or the other.

    NOMNOMNOM I like it- PB with a heavy cream chaser. LULZ

    I'm partial to the whole crumbled oreos in ice cream bit. ;)

    now I want to bulk just to get big and eat all the things- this cutting thing sucks balls.

    so now I'm looking for liquid calories.

    I need ~ 600 more calories through the day (range 300-900). Protein would be nice, but I'm generally getting my essential protein.
    Whole milk 14 oz
    oats .5 up
    ice cream .5 cup

    Blend and it ends up about 20 ounces sounds like a lot but its only slightly thicker than regular milk so not thick at all, eat with 3 eggs and you've hit 813 cal

    Smoothies that you make with frozen bananas, full fat yogurt, whole milk, and peanut butter. now that is a calorie load.

    Eggs and milk have gotten a bad nutritional wrap, in my opinion. In moderation, eggnog is a good solution. I also mix protein powder in iced coffee. Once it is blended, you can warm it all in the microwave if your office is cold like mine. ( I use whey protein and it curdles in hot liquids.)

    I have Crohn's Disease and like drinks from Bolthouse Farms and CalNaturale Svelte (added protein is a big plus with this one). At times, I like to drink my calories, to give my belly a rest. These drinks are tasty, and the Bolthouse Farms drinks can count as servings of fruit and veggies too.

    Eggnog totally saved me when I was out of town last week. It's hard to beat 200 calories per half cup. Many, many thanks to those of you who pointed out that I ought to take advantage of the season. As eggnog is disappearing from the shelves, I'm thinking that a rich chocolate drink might fill in the gap.

    I'd be wary of the chia seeds, if you have gastroparesis. Maybe ask the gastroenterologist first. Not sure if the chia and the slow motility of the gut might be setting you up for possible problems later on.

    If you're not lactose-intolerant, if you make a shake, throw in a spoon or two of peanut (or other nut) butter or protein powder.

    My grandmother's speech therapist likes Orgain brand shakes. the adult version has 255 calories, 16 grams of protein, and is organic. Has fruit and veggies in it but tastes like the chocolate,vanilla,or strawberry flavor on the label. Add a table spoon of flax seed oil, a half banana. Its about 12 oz, and pretty good for you(I hope). Her recent eating diary is public under screename ken14445. Working ok so far.

    I drink a lot of smoothies, pebbleslaura1. I just consider them meals instead of beverages. The dietician pretty much said "Everyone's ability to digest is different - experiment and make everything you put in your mouth count." Along with some generic "low fat, low fiber, low sugar", which is remarkably low calorie.

    I do have to watch fat and fiber - I'm nearing the upper bounds on fat, which seems to free up a little fiber. So if I move some fat and calories to beverages then I might get options like green vegetables back.

    Yesterday I had a cup and a half of salad, which is an incredibly inefficient use of stomach capacity - but it tasted SO GOOD.

    thanks for that :)
