HELP: List me foods to help gain weight

Yes, i know i posted a topic on losing belly fat & now posting a topic on weight gaining foods......Here's the story:


Simply what happened was i was getting too lean. I want a bigger chest and if i continue cutting the carbs it's going to take years. I also want bigger shoulders and arms. Not massive just bigger. I am a slim build, always have been since a teenager and since lifting people have noticed the muscle gain but i would like to be a little bigger.

Here's what i have been currently consuming to try and gain some weight (mostly just getting back on the carbs wagon):

- White Rice
- White Bread
- Pasta

I've been upping my portions on cottage cheese and whey protein. And still eat my daily intake of fruits and veg.


But, and i know some of you will be disappointed when i say i have been eating, burgers, fries and pizza. Not alot but considering i was on like 50grams of carbs per day before it is a signficant change in diet.

I am experimenting right now and will do this for a month. This is my second week. If nothing changes or what i'm doing is working but want more gains i will do for 2 months max. I don't want to do it for too long because i don't want my belly to get out of hand (since i'm still currently trying to lose my gut fat)


So Let me know other foods that will help me gain weight peoples.

cotton candy

Whey

boil 3 eggs, place all in blender. Add 1.5 cups of D milk and add a full spoon of peanut butter.

Do this after you eat a medium size meal.

Then sit awhile because your body is going to heat up. Trust me.

Why will the body heat up?

yeah, why will the body heat up? and what is "D milk"?

I don't have a blender. can i just eat 2 boiled eggs, drink a glass of milk and eat a peanut butter sandwich?

D milk as in Vitamin D milk as in Whole milk.

According to eatingwell website, top 5 foods for weight gain are potato chips, potato, soft drinks, red meat and processed meat.  Gaining weight is more fun than losing weight but less healthy.

 

i won't do the soft drinks but the rest i can. Currently i'm just eating alot of rice and white bread. Also been drinking these things called "Up n Go" which is a sweet milk breakfast drink that has close to 100g of carbs/sugar. Also chocolate.

It's hard going from 2 years of no carbs to low carbs to getting back on the carbs all together. Tastes good but the joy isn't really there anymore. I'm not too committed at the moment as it's a big transition as i did change my lifestyle around but i gotta put the weight on within a month and i'm about 2 weeks into it.

I have no real direction to this and haven't the time to research atm so i really do need some of your help.

A steady diet of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

That coupled with a good weight/cardio routine helped me put on almost 20 lbs of muscle in one summer.

Due to the protien overload.

Really?

Did you use natural peanut butter or just the normal one?

You & search have mentioned peanut butter so this will most likely be on the menu daily.

Liquids is very easy to deal with when you want to gain som easy calories.

Make a smoothie like this;

- 50G whey powder
- Frozen Straberries
- Frozen Raspberries
- Peanut Butter
- Almonds
- Oats
- Milk
- Honey

^ Just add what u want basically and what you have available.

Body will heat up because the level of protien and calories

Calorie = a unit of heat. C'mon now.

Yes. Skip the bread, you'll be down for awhile. Just smear the peanutt butter on the eggs along with whole milk in a bowl.

Of Course you can eat the bread Baller.

Are you eating 6 or more meals a day?  

prob not 6, when ever i can working around my schedule w/ fam  and 2 kids.

I'm going to buy some oatmeal, avocado on my next grocery session, already have the nuts.

- I have really attacked my body with carbs. from Bread, Cakes, chocolate milk, chocolates, shakes and chips.

- I have also been eating rice 2 or 3 meals daily.

- On top of this i have been on the junk food almost daily also. Mcdonalds and KFC meals.

- I am doing heavy weights and have done no cardio.


It seems i haven't really put on that much weight but i can see and feel my gut getting bigger so something is happening. It's almost been a month so i may have to go for another month.....

For that second month i will have to watch out on all the junk i'm consuming and eat more of the better/healthier weight gaining foods such as broccoli and other green veg, will have to eat more red meats also.

What other healthier foods are great food weight gain?

Jive_Turkey -   A calorie is a calorie, just face it, it doesnt matter where it comes from, so he can eat all the junk food he wants if that we he wants, just as long as he keeps track of the calories he gets. Stupid post is stupid by you man.

Cake and Pecan Pie

A calorie is a calorie, but with "bad calories" come fat and sugar and no nutrition. Thats the point. 1,000 calories of ice cream, or 1,000 calories of a steak and eggs with veggies/fruit is NOT the same.....

 

get it?

A calorie is a calorie, and thats a fact you cannot change. So lets say, you need 3500 calories to break even, then you will lose weight if you eat 3300 calories, and then it doesnt matter if those 3300 calories comes from pizza, ice cream, candy or whatever, it doesnt matter at all. However when wanting to build muscle or stay healthy, its important that you also get your macro nutrients and your micro nutritents, and that means you need to keep a proper diet. But, you can lose weight by living of ice cream, its not recommended at all, but it is possible.
