I'm up almost 25 pounds this summer. I've been eating more than usual, but not tons. The really effective addition has been heavy cream. I can manage about a pint a day.
Coffee is the easiest way I add it to my diet. I'll also drop some in my cereal or oatmeal. When I'm cooking regularly it's pretty easy to slip cream in: soups, stews, pasta sauces, cheese sauces, etc. Pretty soon you'll find yourself dolloping a little cream into just about anything.
Whip some cream for desserts. Soak devil's food cake in cream. Or any cake. I use half-and-half for milk and cookies. I've even poured a little cream into my ice cream for a soupier bowl.
Straight cream can be tough to get down. I can sometimes do about eight ounces at one go, but I'll add a little maple syrup, or honey, a drop or two of vanilla, anything to add flavor. A splash of bourbon or rum works well, too.
Pushing a lot of fat into yourself at once can be rough. I'll only do those eight-ounce gluts at night, and even then give myself an hour before I try to sleep. I'd say take it in doses, don't try to cram it. But keep it consistent and keep it coming.
