I can't eat any more!

sweitz14 Posts: 45 Joined: 2003/03/28	2003/04/24, 08:53 AM I'm really having trouble sticking to my diet plan. I'm a hard gainer who is try to gain mass. Things are going pretty well, but I can barely eat 2500 calories a day. I am ok for short periods, but I reach a point where I just can't force myself to eat any more. This has been a problem I've had for a long time. How do I consistently eat between 3500 and 4000 calories a day? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

For lunch; things like chicken breast or salmon with a potato or other carb and a vegetable. For dinner; steak (filet) or chicken breast with carb and vegetable. I useually try to have some kind of snack in the evening, PB&J or something. I also eat 2 bars during the day to supplement. Hope this helps.

Good nutrition too on the go. Usually about 40 gr. of protein, 22 or so carb. Hope this helps. -------------- The one goal you will NEVER achieve is the one you never attempt.

Gradually increase it, getting your digestive system used to the more food, thereby also increasing your metabolism to handle the increased amount. -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

Do 2500 for a week, then go to 3000, etc. I'll be honest, having been a consultant myself, doing 100% travel, it is difficult to maintain proper eating habits. It's much easier if you're on a long term project and can use corporate housing or if you can find a place like Resident's Inn or Staybridge Suites where you get a fridge and kitchen. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
