Just looking for ideas on food that are easy or quick to add in to up the calories. I know adding another meal is the easiest way but anything else you guys add in that is the same old chicken, steak, brown rice, ezekiel bread....etc

I like to make 3lb meat loaf with extra lean ground beef. Gotta just find a way to keep eating obviously real food is always better than shakes.
I really enjoy a good blackened Tuna steak salad. Takes about 15 minutes to make. About 25 grams of protein in the steak.
full glass of whole milk with every meal. if your eating 5 meals per day that will boost your calories by 1000 per day and add 80g of protein
Bottle of Olive Oil. 120kcal/tbsp. Goes real fast!
liquid calories are the way to go for upping cals fast and easyQuote:

All you can eat Asian buffet.
I go to one everyday from the office and house 3 solid plates of chicken, fish, ribs, and not gonna lie I'll get some of their delicious deserts but go easy on em. Easily 1,500- 2,000 cals in that one meal (depending on how clean I keep it lol)
I'm gonna be neutral on this .. cause Alpha is totally right in that healthy fats can be a game changer .
but you gotta know why and how to use it. if you simply add fats to your diet with no rhyme or reason, your going to get fatter. why? cause fat doe NOT require a hormonal response from the body to be stored. if fat has nothing to do or be told what to do , which is 90% of the time, it will store itself as fat for energy later. fat goes to fat period (yeah yeah you keto fucks we will argue later, I been keto a dozen times) , its a magnet to a magnet. CARBS on the other hand require INSULIN and other mechanisms to be stored as fat after muscle glycogen response .. but dietary fat becomes stored fat with very little hormone response from the body. in fact if you were dying of starvation and all you had to eat for your final meal was pure fat, your body would store 90% of what you just ingested, as stored fat first , and then try to use it to save your life..
fats are great. but they are a tool you need to learn to use and manipulate , like every other macro
now this is spot on when you need to grow and fill out !!Quote:

Sardines. If you can stomach them they are a great addition.Quote:

Fresh tuna steak, seared is the greatest meal on earth.
Whole milk is what im doing. Im getting 2l a day the now
Peanut butter and milk, and more peanut butter. (Cheat meal of Klondike bar topped with peanut butter shown here)
Klondike Bar with Peanut Butter? Haha, is that not Gilding the Lilly a bit?Quote:

That sucks bro... Where I'm at they are clean and the food is well presented and fresh. The sushi is also very good and all the fish is fresh... The one down side it that a lot of the meat these places use is fatty cuts of pork and beef and the chicken is breaded for the most part, BUT if you're trying to keep it clean they have a spot in the back where they do Hibachi and you can get chicken, steak, and fish grilled fresh right in front of you.Quote:

As a fellow mid-westerner, you're ABSOLUTELY right! It's either expensive as hell, or TINY... At least we have the great midwest views... oh wait.. no we don't. (#cornFieldsForever). I will say however, were I live at least, there are very few things (like poisonous snakes) that can kill you... just the routine gang-shooting stuff.Quote:

I drank this shake the other day and fell asleep after, and when I woke up about an hour later I had all kinds of nitrogen retention happening and my muscles were very tight and full. So I know this thing will help you make some gains cause nitrogen retention like that is a by-product of protein synthesis.
In your case I would add ice cream and a few table spoons of an EFA and DHA rich healthy oil like a high quality olive oil to increase overall calories and also add to it's nutrient content. You can also add spinach and surprisingly it tastes good, even with the spinach...
Work it in however you have to. Stan Efferding has his guys adding dextrose to their rice.
holy shit that's a great ideaQuote:

Quick way is usually with air fryer, I marinate my meats in advance and leave it in the fridge. Indian stores have lots of quick dry spices to marinade.
Pro tip: I always buy my meats at Indian stores. They have flat rate $7/lb doesnt matter what cut. I usually tip the butcher and now he knows me well. All the nice steaks, filet mignon etc $7/lb LOL
Guessing part of that is to make a slin ration with quick and long carbs...?Quote:

Learning a little on slin and my view is changing. It throws you body a curve as best I can tell. To stay on it any duration is moving backwards.Quote:

How about grilled tuna fish with bowl of your favorite fruits!
