Yo but you are a large guy, I am a small girl. It's totally unrealistic that I could ever eat that much.

you build up to it

the key points are:

liquid meals are a god send
flapjacks n cereal bars are awesome
u NEED to accept the uncomfortableness for a while, force urself to eat 4000 cals even if its crap food like chocolate

First of all, I would go to doctor to see you are alright. There could be some actual disease behind your condition.

But just to suggest, If you want to gain weight, do not risk your health at the same time by eating stuff that's bad for you. If you want to gain weight, eat good healthy stuff, but MORE and more often. Cause even if you are skinny, those fats and bad things will anyway clog your arteries and blood vessels and you could die of blood clot. So please even if you want to gain weight, take care of yourself.

But to say something about eating, I would suggest you eat more of protein and maybe take some protein shakes to be a part of your daily diet. Other wise I cannot say much, but I would recommend for you to got to GP and then for health physician, who could help you with your diet.

Good luck!!

dont listen to any of the advice given here (because it's quite ****) just eat six small meals a day, go with moderately high carbs, protein and fats behind that, so your ratios of cals would look like this 50/30/20 (carb/protein/fat) you should find out what your maintinance cals are then up that by 500, if you see no weight gain in seven days up it by 250 and keep doing so until you start gaining. heres a sample meal plan:

meal 1 - bowl of oats with cinnamon and splenda, glass of semi skim milk with a scoop of whey

meal 2 - canned tuna with low fat omega 3 rich mayo on two slices of wholegrain bread

meal 3 - grilled chicken breast with mixed vegetable cous cous

meal 4 - protein shake made with semi skim milk

meal 5 - protein source such as, lean beef, salmon, chicken etc, loads of veggies such as, spinach, brocoli, peppers etc and a baked sweet potatoe

meal 6 - pot of 0% fat greek yogurt with two table spoons of natural peanut butter

you should also start lifting some weights 3 times a week, you could follow this programme http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=998224

edit - with your meals you should be eating every 3 hours, so if you start with breakfast at 7:30 am then the next meal would be at 10:30am and so on...

your advice is ******** too

why the **** does she need to concern herself with EXACT macros for? is she a dieting bodybuilder?

bodybuilders in the off-season don't work out a meal plan, they just know to eat *********

and they don;t set timers to eat at set 3 hour intervals,

it takes YEARS of eating crap for it to affect blood lipids/insulin management issues and cause all the ill-effects people bang on about

and it's all well and good saying "eat solely clean foods" but try it

and did I say she should eat pure-crap either? incoporating some crap foods ain't gonna effect u

i did forget to add its alright to have 1 cheat day a week, plus define what you mean by clean? for example on a sunday i would have a sunday roast like a leg of lamb which is a very fatty meat, i would also have some roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings, now i wouldnt call that a cheat meal as there is nothing bad there, yes the lamb is high in fat but its all good quality food prepared simply, so i guess im not saying eat clean, just stay away from processed foods as its all **** that your body doesnt need, if you want to have a take away have a chicken shish with all the veg!

clean can mean different things, even to me

there's off-season clean, and dieting down clean

a roast with potatoes is fine, yorkshire pudd is a bit hmm

Bloody hell, just eat more.

When I needed to put on weight I ate:

Breakfast: 2 bowls honey shreddies, 2 couissants, two cups of sweet coffee.

Mid Morning: Pint of full fat milk

Lunch: Pasta bake with chicken and lots of cheese. Rice pudding for pudding.

Mid Afternoon: Pint of full fat milk.

Supper: 2 helping of whatever parents cooked, plus a milkshake.

Late Evening: Pint of Milk.

Scale the meals down to as much as you can eat, but if you eat every meal until your belly is straining, you will get bigger.
