Hi all, have just joined, am looking to weight gain but without lactose and trying to keep the wheat as little as poss too - any advice or tips on stuff to eat would be great :) it's so hard eating loads every day, does anyone else have trouble hitting their calorie intake?!

    Not all and this is easy....if you eat many meals per day...I eat 6 for example.

    Carbs: Rice, Sweet Potatoes, Oatmeal, Carb Powders
    Proteins: Turkey, Talapia, Salmon, Chicken, Lean Steak, Whey Protein
    Veggies: No limit here
    Fats: MCT Oil, Peanut Butter, Walnuts, Almonds

    Liquids: Just water

    Out of curiosity, do you have wheat intolerance? If not then there really isn't any reason to avoid it - it CAN definitely make it more difficult to get your calories. I can definitely relate on the lactose intolerant part, but I buy lactose-free milk, almond/coconut/cashew milk also. Good luck!

    Hi both, thanks for your help I'll definitely try and get on all of those suggestions! @elfman5150‌ yeah it would seem my body doesn't like wheat or lactose, not ideal :/ lactose free milk/yogurts etc don't taste too bad, wheat free stuff like bread is so dry though!

    There are plenty of good options: nuts, meats, sea foods, legumes, fruits, vegetables, pretty much anything. Just eat a wide variety of foods and lots of them. If you have trouble eating enough then add in high calorie foods like chips, fries, hamburger meat, white rice, sugary snacks, etc.
