    Peanut butter
    Ice cream
    Pop tarts
    A higher Calorie mass gainer, if you really want a shake

    Oh, really - just about anything that's high Calorie

    well, there's ice cream, peanut butter etc, or weight gain powders, or you can blend some clean foods.

    Personally I blend clean foods, because I feel it's more nutritional. The downside is usually taste, but you can work around that if you experiment with ingredients.

    I think he meant a pound a week. Pound a day? 7500 calories plus? Now even I couldn't do that!

    At 4000 maybe that's TWO pounds a week?

    Ooooooo I love a mystery!

    I remember when I was bulking back in the day, I munch on cheeze-it crackers every night before sleep. A quarter to one third box every night. I used to have about 15 to 20 boxes of cheeze-it crackers on my fridge as reserve.

    Not that I force myself to eat, I eat because of the cravings. I have to force myself to stop usually at around 1/3 of the box. On a good day, I stop at 1/4 of a box.

    Gaining a pound per day is a bad idea and essentially impossible...and even if it wasn't, 4k daily net wouldn't get you there..

    Well if you were sick, I presume you were undereating. Go back to how you were eating pre illness and I'm sure it'll level out.

    Blend clean foods? Please elaborate.

    oh man don't ask that …

    if that is the poster I am thinking of he blends like chicken, vegetables, and some other crap and says it is like "drinking chicken soup"…..*dryheave*

    apparently, he just blends all his clean food and drinks it…

    I told him in another thread that he may want to re-examine his relationship with food...

    if you are gaining two pounds every two two days that that is just about 6-7 pounds a week …I would just keep doing what you are doing until you get back to regular weight...
