Dr oz says not to eat after 8pm and I pushed it to9pm.

What? Why?

Something about the body not being able to process the food correctly,was a episode on specific health issues such as diabetes,hypertension etc.

another reason one should never get nutrition advice from dr oz...

Oh he is a real ER Dr though

I'm not sure you understand the point of these forums. What we're discussing is how it isn't bad or unhealthy to eat right up until you go to bed. If you're experiencing heart burn when you go to bed it could be because a sphincter may not be closing properly allowing stomach acid to splash up into your esophagus.

But yes he is a doctor, unfortunately though he isn't a nutritionist. As another poster said, many of the leaner and fit people on here eat up until bed. One because we have to, two because it's not extremely common to experience issues with it. It's unfortunate that you experience acid reflux, if I were you I'd speak to my family doctor to find out if you could take any preventative actions.

Have a family Dr who suggested I not eat at that time as well. My question was for someone to give help on gaining-not replying with lectures on Dr Oz. Lmbo I understand your point and prefer not to constantly reply if its not a suggested meal,workouts etc on how I can increase my appetite and calories other than eating all night long. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Workouts won't do a whole lot to increase your overall appetite. They will help a bit, but will have to be fairly strenuous. As for high calorie meals. Avocados, fatty cuts of meat, nuts(almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts), nut butters, whole fat milk 3.25-3.9%, wild/black rice, olive oil, high carb fruits(check glycemic index of you are worried about insulin spikes), oatmeal lots of it, ground flax seed, chia seeds, whole wheat wraps, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, hummus, granola(not the bars), whey protein concentrate(if you have trouble hitting your protein goals, concentrate is a better option in regards to health), plenty of green vegetables(spinach, kale, etc), beans if you're a fan, eggs or just egg whites(if you're concerned for added cholesterol), skinless chicken breasts, chicken thighs if you want a bit more flavour.

My favourite weight gainer shake:
-1.5 cups whole fat milk
-1 scoop whey protein (approx. 28g)
-.5 cups of oatmeal
-2-3tbsp of gainzbutter
-1 banana
-1 cup of spinach
-3tbsp ground flax seed
-.5 cup of berries
Approximately 1000 calories a serving. The reason I advocate eating at night is even though I generally have two of these shakes a day, I still have incredible troubles hitting my daily surplus, especially after a 9 hour work day full of physical activity. Which respectable increases my intake to almost 4000 calories a day. That is my knowledge, it's how I've learned to gain. Also, if you're full. Keep eating, bulking is about eating even when you're not hungry. Hopefully that helps.
