Calories

Bros what would be an easy way to up your calories. I'm going to try and add between 1500 and 2000 more per day. I was thinking maybe peanut butter, like two table spoons every hour, plus a slice of bread with honey, stuff along those lines. Would that be a good way to go about it ?

olive oil works bro

milk

yogurt

Guess your trying to bulk up

How many calories are you eating now? Up your calories by 2K a day is going to take awhile, you wont be able to up it 2K in 1 day. Gradually taper it up so it makes it physiologically possible.

But tuna, milkl, peanut butter, nuts, flax oil are all calorie dense.

Right now I'm getting between 3500 and 4000. I was going to increase by about 500 cal a week. I'm starting the 3rd week of my first cycle and I just want to get the best results possible from it. thanks for the advice

How much do you weigh and how many calories total are you looking to take in??

[prolangtum]

During a cycle, I add 250 calories every day, each week, until i can feel myself smoothing out. It is usually in the form of good fats, or skim milk, i dotn do well on high carbs.

Natural PB
Skim milk with meals
All natural guacamole
Flax oil
Olive oil

Make your shakes(not postworkout though) with milk, drink a whey/casein/peanut butter shake before bed.

i like to mix peanut butter, honey, and uncooked oats about 1 to 1 to 2 ratio, respectively. wash that snack down with a glass of milk a couple of times a day. especially about 1 1/2 hr before your training session

Right now I weigh 168. I know some of you are going to say I should have gained another 20 or 30lbs before i juiced, but i'm tired of being a skinnyguy I'm going to try and work my way up to between 5000 and 5500 calories a day and see how things go from there.

Thats a bad idea. The majority of that weight will be fat. Your maintainence calories is probably less than 3K, and if you consume 3500 calories over your maintainence calories a week, thats 1lb of fat.
