Gaining

Hi all

I'm a vegetarian (not going to preach just a fact), anyone got any gaining tips seeing as the usual meaty suspects of burgers, fry ups and fast food are out?

My diet is carb heavy, lots of dairy and usually have salads as well to stay reasonably healthy with plenty of dressings, nuts and cheese turning a 200 calorie bowl into a 600 calorie one.

I would like tips that don't involve too much junk, although I allow my self a day a week and a week a month to eat crap to keep my belly soft and wobbly, just can't really do that every day!

Cheese I love anyway and its in most my meals, same with butter.

I have tried the pint of heavy cream thing but as enjoyable as it is at the time I have bad cramps afterwards, but I do have whole milk everyday, sometimes mixed with whipped cream and sugar, did that for a week once and packed on a fair bit of flab!
