    If you want to eat clean and gain weight get the idea of vegan out of your mind. Eat clean sources of protein and fat and they will do wonders for your cholesterol and overall blood panel. Eat cage free organic eggs, grass fed beef, nitrate free turkey/sausage/bacon and natural nut butters, Organic dairy and grass fed meat is more expensive but if you want healthy its worth it. Eat 6 cage free eggs and 8oz of grass fed beef a day with whey protein and you are on your way

    Thanks for your advice, will keep that in mind! I'm not necessarily making a change to vegan, I just like the food and the idea behind it all. I'm eating at least 2-3 organic eggs just about every day, with about 50g-75g of protein coming from shakes and the rest from food. I'm slowly changing my weekly groceries to include many more organic products, and taking note of what's in what I'm eating so sounds like I'm on the right path.

    Thanks again!

    Hi there Paul, I can relate to you...I lost 2 stone over 2 years but quite rapidly - 1 month in 2011 1 stone, 2012 1 month, another stone (14lbs)

    I am now too thin...I would love to gain 21 pounds I put on 7 lbs last week

    My regime was 3 raw eggs and a bowl of oats ( no sugar or milk) for breakfast,

    Lunch - salmon steak with salad topped with goats yoghurt.

    Followed by 2 cups of water

    Dinner - 1/2 avocado guacamole with salmon steak

    Drinks - apple cider vinegar in warm water

    Celery, cucumber, spinach, carrot juice

    Snacks 3 raw eggs

    I put the weight on in 5 days...

    I am now getting fed up of salmon, so am baking 2 chicken breasts as I type this.

    I am not vegan anymore as my muscles have atrophied my left arm after injury that is.

    I eat every 4 hours and by the way, I am a woman!

    Wow! The fact that you put it on so rapidly, and ate relatively clean/healthy is great! Making a note of this meal plan. Are you working out as well?

    Buy in bulk; cook in bulk. Freeze individual meals and thaw out as needed. You'll save a ton of time and a ton of money.

    If you don't have a crockpot, get one. A freezer chest is also a good idea (check Craigslist for cheap ones).
