Diet for a super skinny dude..

You're most likely just gonna get fat if you start taking in that much calories unless you live a active lifestyle. Definitely figure out and track your macros to start and start with a 300 cal surplus the fist week and aim to gain a lb a week. If you aren't gaining up it again until you do. Trust me my first bulk was a total waist and I just gained mostly fat. Now I bulk at a 300 surplus which gets me about 3 lbs gain a month and not much fat gain. Eat big, lift big, and get your rest and you will gain.

figured out your macros to get bigger, find the foods you like and will give you the best performance in the gym. Its very simple, it takes time to add size but its a lifetime journey.

Yeah but i think the nuggets arent the best choice, they arent so fatty, they are still a little dry compared to some of the menu items.
Id go for the greasy double quarter pounder, at least two of em, for big weight gains, and lots of their cotton seed oil soaked fries. always wash it down with lots of coke too, and none of the aspertame diet crap, we want real processed plant sugars in there as it goes well with the McOils.
in between that, add some burger king whoppers (ask for extra cheese) , or dominoes.
And always use the drive thru as walking in burns calories. rofl
But seriously, lots of pasta with bolognese type sauce made with lots of beef and a lot of olive oil, then put a heap of parmesan or similar cheese on it, and im sure the OP will bulk up. or rich lasanges. Thats how i put on weight anyway. rofl
I found that protein and carb filled oily pastas do help you with weight training, help you have great bursts of energy, but you will gain fat also.
Ive been anywhere from 220 lbs, to 155 lbs ( im 5ft 11) ...currently 170. In various states of fat/muscle combinations also.

Its the same in a lot of places, you either gotta go illegal, find a farmer or buy a cow.
I once read a business got a 200K fine for selling raw milk in Sydney, Australia.
My grandfather lived to 94 and raw milk was a big part of his diet, he owned his own animals.
A contentious issue for sure, as is the consumption of dairy period. Man ive seen some forum threads go nuts about it all.

I agree, good tip. its why i mentioned it before with the pasta. Or fry with it at low heat, even eggs fried in it for breakfast. one will put on weight using a lot of olive oil of that i have no doubt.
And unlike some veg and palm oils that our bodies arent really made for dealing with, its at least a good fat, contains oleic acid, polyphenols and vitamins especially the better oils.
I was reading something about the 'mediterranean diet' and it said that while those who consumed a lot of olive oil as their main dietary fat had lower incidence of heart disease and cancers despite carrying some extra body fat on them.
our bodies just havent evolved to handle a lot of the mass produced vegetable oils / palm oils that are added to so many foods and breads in recent times.
Make sure you have at least 200 calories above your maintenance. Eat lots of protein, around 20- 25 percent of fats and the rest cars. Train intensely. Eat healthy. I would advise you to supplement yourself, most say that whey protein powder is nice, this should be your post-workout drink mixed with simple liquid carbs.Progress with every workout of yours. Every time strive to improve your last lifts. For example, you train chest once a week. This week you lift 100 pounds on the bench press and the next one strive for 102-103. Your body is an adapting machine and you must realize this. Eat a lot... A LOT. It is friggin hard, though. But as long as you have the proper motivation, it's all gonna be fine. If you have any problems I am sure your [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] brothers would help you. Hope you make the gains you wish for.
