    For 2 weeks now I've been consuming 6 to 8k calories a day, have only gained 2 pounds. What else more can I do?

    Are you incorporating any form of exercise along with your increased calories?

    AH HA- see my slices of cheesecake blended into shakes comes in handy now doesn't it!!!!

    GO GO GO BLEND ALL THE CHEESECAKES!!!!

    And nuts and butters!! Esp with all that food- the highest calorie food with the lowest filling volume is going to be where you want to live- (for better or worse) I'd be drinking at least my body weight in calories.

    That's a rough spot- people sometimes really really just do not grasp the work it takes to get some weight on- can't imagine fighting a disease to do it!!! You can do it- you're on the right path- keep eating away!

    Yes, my 50 hour plus job is extremely active. I'm a grocery manager at PUBLIX. I lift weights 3 to 4 days a week.

    Hi mate , 2lbs is good as people say it's not a race . You obviously need to bulk up but the right way for your condition . Check out the web and look at special diets got your condition but also look into body types , you are probably an Ectomorph so follow some examples of bulking for that body type . Weights would be good but don't go crazy and stay away from any cardio until you put some weight on . All the best and good look you can do this
