I want to gain weight, so since last week, I started to look how much calories I eat/day. I made an excel sheet, and I write everything I ate/drank. Now I ate approx. 3500-5000 calories a day. Heres a look of a 5000 calories day (on weekend mostly, cuz in the week I work, and I cant eat that much haha) CAL ===================== Breakfast 60 -- YOGURT 157 -- Chocolate Cereal Snackbar "petit bonjour" 79 -- Fruits in cane 214 -- Cheese 60 -- "Tubes" (its frosted milk bar) 450 -- Nestles Rolo Drink 473ml (WOW, so much calories!) 112 -- Fruit Juice V8 250ml (1132 calories for breakfast) Lunch 680 -- Pasta 242 -- Lemonade 250ml+ Gatorade pouder (35g) 60 -- "Tubes" 85 -- Banana 242 -- Lemonade 250ml + Gatorade pouder (35g) (1309 calories for Lunch) Afternoon 111 -- Granola Bar 120 -- Olive Oil 15ml (WOW!!! High in calorie, and good for health) (385 calories for afternoon) Night/Supper 1072 -- Big "Tourtière" (its pork, beef, veal mixed with potatoes, A GOOD MEAL!) 79 -- Fruits in cane 214 -- Cheese 326 -- Chocolate Milk 500ml 112 -- Fruit Juice V8 250ml 240 -- Olive Oil 2x15ml (2043 calories for supper/night) GRAND TOTAL = 4869 Calories That was my last sunday meals.... Does it look good?? In weekdays im mostly near 3500-4500 calories by day... Will I gain weight??? I need FAT not so much muscles, FAT!!!

We will be able to give you better info. \If you keep that diet up you might have some nasty problems. I don't see any protein in the diet or any good carbohydrates, or good fat. Check out the nutrition plans on this sight. You will probably get very sick eating that way. Try adding exercise to your lifestyle also. -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2003/12/02, 11:14 PM Carivan is right on. With this diet you will gain, but much of it is going to be weight you don't want. You are going to have insulin surges all day, this is very bad. Storage of you know what, plus it will ruin your muscle insulin sensitivity. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2003/12/02, 11:28 PM Try raising your calories in a sensible way. You must know what your maintenance calories are to set up a realistic diet. When you have this figure, drop all the junk and raise your calories in small amounts for a sensible weight gain with minimal fat. 250 calories per day over is a good start, keep doing this till you start gaining, leave it there till the gaining stops, and then readjust again. What Carivan says is exactly right. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2003/12/03, 07:23 PM try going with around 15 calories per pound of bodyweight to start and add the 250 like bb1fit said. Eat good carbs, good fats, and protein to suffice. Do some quality exercise and you will gain and put on good lean mass. Again, please fill out your profile, and good luck. -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada

Shane123 Posts: 148 Joined: 2003/11/27	2003/12/05, 12:47 AM I agree with the general sentiments in this thread. You're gonna need a lot more than 15 calories per pound of bodyweight, though.

Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2003/12/11, 06:34 PM Mestar that is a good change for your diet. If you have the self motivation and able to afford good quality equipment, then merry christmas and buy yourself a reward! -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada

I liked the training but I hated the gym because, too much crowded, long wait, too much posers, etc...I stopped. If I can train to my home , ill be so happy!! Any suggestion of trainings machines? for pecks, legs, biceps,... ?? around $1000-1500 for some machines?? Used machines?? listening music while training, that's one of my dream! and gaining weight hehe thank carivan!
Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2003/12/12, 10:37 PM Try doing a search on line for the equipment. You can probably get some good stuff in that range. I couldn't help you with that as I am not familiar with what is available in your area. Up here they sell ski-doos and hockey sticks this time of year. Keep up the good eating and train. -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada
