Eat more... Defecate even more?

I try to eat more calories and force feed myself even after feeling full. Feed constantly on finger foods all day at work. Can't seem to gain any weight. And I feel that my body is rejecting the extra nutrients and I request the community to tell me what I should do to gain weight naturally.

Need to:
a) eat more if you're not currently gaining - try an extra 500 cals a day. If still not gaining after a week or two, add 250 more and repeat. Keep going until you are gaining on av 0.5-1lb/week.
b) get used to sh*tting a lot. When you finish bulking, you'll lose a couple of lbs right off the bat due to losing the extra ballast from your bowels.0 -
I think it's time to look at the types of foods you are eating. Head for the calorie-dense, like peanut butter already mentioned.
Hiker's mix is good, too.
Drink milk.
It might seem counter-intuitive, but I find I can take in a lot of salad, it doesn't fill me that fast, and it doesn't bulk up the tail end. Make it calorie-rich by not skimping on the dressings.0 -

I have irritable bowl syndrome and that is literally what happeneds for me when I over eat.
So here's the dirty question: what does your stool look like? If it is soft/runny it might be that not all nutrients get absorbed by your body.
If it is normal and just a lot it is totally okay.

What specifically are you eating and have to increased your fibre intake significantly as a result?
Have you tried GOMAD as an alternative to eating your calories?0 -
It's a vicious circle. Sometimes very vicious.0

How long have you been bulking OP? Make sure your expectations are realistic. You really only want to gain about 2-3 lbs per month anyway. Any more is guaranteed to be mostly fat.
Also: yes. You gun' poop. A lot. Metamucil is your friend.
