What is a good source of calories?

[Advaik]

I need a good source of calories with protein and a little quality carbs. I need about 1000-2000 more calories a day and around 50-100g of protein. What should I eat? I think I am eatting alot in my deit - its just not adding up!

 

[ripnrage]

Could you be more specific. What are your goals. Only 50 - 100 g of protein ? Well there are you basics for protein:

shakes
chicken
steak
eggbeaters


And then if you want some carbs :

Something I use for bulking is a bottle of chocolate milk each day. I guess it is about 1 liter, and it has 920 calories, 32 grams of protein, but the saturated fat content is pretty high too.

 

[MUSTANG_18]

egg whites, chicken, tuna, red meats, potatoes, rice, wheat toast, sugarless yogurt, protein shakes, Pasta, Vegtables are all good sources of protein and carbs. I try to avoid sugars as they put the fat on me real bad

When bulking, I have a passion for peanut butter and jelly sandwitches ! Nothing really quality about it, just love em!

Well this is my diet so far - I am trying to add more food, but damn - this seems like alot to me. My goals are bulking but not going over 20% bf. I want somewheres in the 3000-4000 cal range, no more than 50g of bad fats, and in the 300-400g protein range. I can't find something thats cheap, high in cals, and high in protein

I always use natural peanut butter for extra calories. Sure its dry and somewhat tastes like shit, but so do most of the protein drinks/bars..so what the hell. You get 190 calories out of 2 tablespoons. Like 16 grams of fat, which only 2 grams are saturated, and you ge 8 grams of protein and 6 grams or carbs....just a quick and easy way to get the calories up...i just put it on 2 rice cakes and make a sandwich...mmmmmmm - BignBeefy

try adding some flax oil to your shakes.

AVOID WHAT!!?? You got me in a near panic here dude! What the fuck could you be talking about? I have no fucking idea here. Maybe I'll just avoid everything to be on the safe side.

 

[poohbear]

What's the deal with increasing carbs throughout the day. Why not just equalize it? Just wondering.

Add some meal replacement shakes w/ a few of your meals. It's like a yummy drink (depending) w/ each course.

All Mustang is saying is that he tries to avoid carbs...

Sorry bro..I was on the phone when i wrote that LOL I try to avoid a lot of Sugars as they really pack on the fat. I try to avoid carbs when cuting but now I train 2 times a day so the insulin levels are low after a workout and all the carbs I eat are not stored as fat and that is the only time of day I eat carbs is right after a workout. I really think training 2 times a day is the way to go if you have the time.

Pussy is low in carbs, and makes me feel refreshed afterwards.

But maybe that's just me.

Just remember, eating pussy ain't a crime, I do it all the time...

 

[Godzila]

why the big time gap between 6am and noon? you could fit like 3 meals in there....
