Gaining

hey all, so i’m starting my weight gain journey, i’m planning to make a weight gain shake of a pint of heavy cream and a pint of ice cream. want to really seize the most calories in this shake. i know adding cake mix is an option. but would like to know what people have used/done and what results did you see!?

yeah i think the olive oil would be too much. i’m trying to gain fast enough to get stretch marks so i assume a 2000-3500 calorie shake every night with my snack filled diet would work

It might be best to ease into drinking that much fat and calories. Your digestive tract needs time to adjust to it. Or you could end up with all sorts of digestive issues. Straight oil not only taste horrid and has horrid mouth feel, but it's likely it will pass right thru you. Personally I've found heavy cream alone to be perfect to add hella calories while tasting good. Some don't like the taste and texture, but I find I like it lol. Also, your body can only digest so many calories at any given time too. I think 1000 calories is the cut off for heavy cream every 4 or so hours. So having about 1000 calories worth after each meal and before bed would be a great balance. Granted, I'm no doctor or nutritionist. Just from personal experience and what I've read here of other people's experience. Best of luck and happy gaining!

Just be careful and don't overdo the oil/heavy cream. High triglycerides in the blood can cause a bevy of health issues. Also, too much fat can have a laxative effect.

If you go too hard for too long, you may not absorb things properly. This includes nutrients and medications.
