Any recommendations?

I am getting started at the gym again. I'm currently around 90 pounds. I have Crohns disease and had surgery over a year ago. I hate my body and need to gain weight/muscle. I just have really bad gym anxiety. I am meeting with a personal trainer Tuesday. Please send good vibes! :)

I want a butt again 🤣

    I would read the above thread. There are a few websites that have some higher calorie drinks in it. There are also a lot of foods/drinks that can help you get to your ideal weight.

    Anything with nut butters added, you can add coconut/ olive oil, oats, bananas...etc. really easy calorie sources when you blend it up.

    Example shake that can be an easy 600+ calories:

    1-2 servings of oats
    Banana
    1-2 tbps of oil or nut butter or both
    Scoop of protein powder
    Maybe some whole milk or ice cream added

    Blend and enjoy💪🏻

    Remember, if you have to get calories in, there’s nothing wrong with incorporating “dirty” foods. (Quotations cause there’s no such thing as clean or dirty food, but you get the example)

    ON max gainer. One scoop has 625 calories and 25 grams or protein.
    It will help you get up to your fighting weight. Good luck!

    While I agree it’s easily calories....only 100 calories of that is coming from protein.....

    Blend
    1 cup whole milk
    2 scoops chocolate whey
    1/2 cup chocolate ice
    2 tbsp peanut butter
    Tons of protein and 750+ calories
    And it's like drinking a Reese's cup

    yes...I'm surprised by the 'lack' of protein considering the 625 calorie/scoop (what the heck is in this stuff lol!) My one scoop of whey powder is 25 grams/110 calories
