2600 Big Ones

**WARNING - SOME MATERIAL MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR PESSIMISTS AND MEANY HEADS**

You may of heard of the sound barrier but have you heard of the calorie barrier? This gravy-colored lining can be a high bar to hurdle for some or a little people limbo for others. I call upon you: Friends, Romans, Country-fried steaks; lend me your chops!

According to the food pyramid people, to gradually increase in weight, my daily caloric intake must be at a minimum 2600 calories. Dividing that by 5 meals a day leaves me starring down a 520 calorie juggernaut every three hours. To date, my best meal attempt was the forging of a nuclear soy smoothie (~450 calories) which nearly sunk me.

Having learned from sad experiences that substituting overly fatty food for lean meats, grains and vegetables will only result in pain-and-no-gain, I hereby petition you - who doth read my words with much forlorn - to supply any stomach-able and fruitful meal ideas in meeting my cataclysmic calorie challenge. My many thanks :) Calories, ye be warned!


P.S. - whoever can suggest the highest calorie/best-tasting meal wins a big hug! Note: the portion should not exceed 6 ounces as my stomach generally revolts if any more is stuffed in there.

Rhys here, what about eating advocados? They have lots of calories. Even better eat more guacomole!

Does Crisco have calories? Peanut Butter?

Almond Butter?
Nutella?
Sticky Rice?

The key is to eat more often. Basically, you need to eat all day long. Peanut butter sandwiches are good - add a banana to it for more calories- use butter, oil and dressings as often as possible.
Drinks are a good way to get calories too; regular juices and sodas, full fat milk. Snack all the time; chips, nuts, chocolate, muffins, bread, avocados.
And the stomach will have to stretch a little bit to gain weight.

Add this to a Jack in the Box Oreo milkshake and you've got 1600 calories in your beverage!
