calories question

[bball05]

right now i am trying to gain as much as i can and i know i am not taking in enough calories a day. i was wondering what kind of foods i should be eating to get the amount of calories i need daily. id like to be consuming at least 3000 calories a day. thanks

Doesn't matter so much what foods, more total cals.... but just generally:

high <a href="http://www.allsportsnutrition.com/listproducts.php?style=category&value=PROTEIN" target="_blank">protein</a> foods: meats, fish, dairy, maybe whey powder for added pro

complex carbs: wheat grains, pastas, veggies

fruits

healthy fats: olive oil, nuts, etc

... you can see that grocery list I put in another of this fourm's thread for some more specific ideas if you like...

IMO 2 very easy ways of increasing your calori intake is to eat pasta ALOT because its calori dense and you can eat a shitload of it and to drink 1 liter of milk to every meal or one liter of juice.
If you add 3 liters of milk a day to your diet you are adding over 1k kcal and a shitload of protein to.
