What are some of your lower calorie binge foods good for stuffing?
I have been experimenting with eating different versions of slighly undercooked quinoa or rice and flax seeds and then chugging liquids. The expansion is very satisfying.

Why limit yourself to one food? At least give youself a rotation, so when you get tired of one thing, the next helps you recover.
I know I've said it before, but go for contrast. Savory vs. bland, spicy vs. cool, sweet vs. salty, dry vs. juicy, etc.

While I do not have a favorite food to for fattening up on, I do enjoy the idea of attributing a specific portion of my chub to a specific stuffing experience:
"This roll was from all-inclusive resort in '99. I got this stretch mark at a Las Vegas buffet summer 2010. This love handle, thanksgiving '05."
Kind of like scars or war wounds.

I am a little surprised by how little egg nog has been mentioned this holiday season. I haven't had any at all this year. Mihht have to do something about that.

Just had quinoa and flax seeds for the first time. Enjoying a bloated belly for about an hour and a half.
I roasted them in an iron skillet then added some curry and half the water it would usually take and covered it on medium for about 10 minutes. I drank a big glass of water before digging in, and then another after finishing.

Last night I visited a Chinese buffet. Sitting down and ordering couple beers, I notice a younger couple entering the restaurant. The couple seemed to both have noticeable belly pooches. The female was wearing on of those loose, but hugging... Dresses that clung to every bulge underneath.
when she began to fill her first plate I couldn't help but notice, she filled it super full and tall... It seriously needed side boards. Then she grabbed a cup of soup and set her plate and soup on their table. I was surprised to see her immediately back at the buffet filling a second plate before she ate the first one. The man was closely doing the same.
my question is...
When hitting the buffet would you rather fill a plate, get up and fill another, then another...?
Or, fill up multiple plates to begin with and not have the need to go back each time?

In my buffet experience it's best to have something at the table so the staff don't clean up your table and seat someone else in it. That happened to me one time and I always expect it now if I don't have a coat with me. So if I have no coat I like to have a full plate of food sitting while I go up for another. So yeah, 2 plates at once and I just alternate from new to old.
For some reason I feel like there's too much thought going into this, hmm?
I like to go plate in each hand each trip, so that I can alternate flavors.
If I am feeling a little bold, I will ask my server to not take away my empty plates.

Give yourself time. I think a lot of novice stuffers go for a competitive eating style of stuffing where they try to beat the 20 minute hunger signal, and then get nauseous when it hits and quit. If you eat quickly but not rushed, chewing and breathing, and pausing to get up and move, you can do a lot more damage over a day. Eat, move, rest, repeat.

I made a full blender of smoothie 1st and put it in the freezer while I boiled water for the 3 packs of jello. I mixed the powder with the boiling water, then I poured the smoothie on while it was still warm, but not steaming. I sat it in the fridge for 4 hours.

I did this by accident, but it was a happy accident I would do again.
I was going to have a fruit smoothie and follow that up with some jello to get stuffed, but then I thought that I could mix the two, and the jello would just be thicker because of the fruit. It didn't work, and instead the jello never quite totally congealed.
I started with a spoon, but it was slightly too soupy, then went to a straw, but it was too thick. It was perfect for chugging.
I was so full and heavy and bloated like with liquid, but it lasted so much longer.

I posted this in another forum, but I've been struggling to gain on a budget since I joined Uni. I'm usually skipping meals to make bills and don't have access to the buffet.. right now I'm about 108 pounds at 5'1, which is the lowest I've ever been. Food is getting hard to come by in the quantities I need to actually gain significant weight, so I'm lost as to where to turn.
Get a food service job. Even part time ones get free or discounted food. Also, look into food stamps. College kids often are eligible and don't know.
