The best way to sneak cals into your diet without knowing it is have food handy... ALWAYS!
As I sit here at my desk, I have a bag of pistachios, almonds and biscotti on my left. I just left my mind wander and I like to nibble, and boom there go like 50 pistachios, seriously lol.

Another great way is to add in some fats, I'm a big fan of unrefined coconut oil. Take a tbsp pre-bed and you'll know why I like it (I feel it helped boost my T levels and energy). You want fat before bed because that's what your body uses while it sleeps, and it will slow down the protein digestion.

Bottom lime is you need to eat more; your body is at homeostasis right now if you're maintaining weight. Your expenditure=Intake. Try adding about 750 cals/day to your diet, and you will see the weight come on. There's lots more threads in the bulking section.

If you need help eating, smoke some herb! :burger:

But some calorie dense snacks throughout the day help. If you're just not hungry or fill up easy. Peanut butter, cheese sticks, yogurt, almonds, cashews, etc. All relatively small, but nutrient dense. Doesn't take much of them to get in your extra 500-700 cals.

Don't be afraid to eat a little dirty to. A little pizza or pasta here or there is good for the soul. :)

Also, add weight to your workouts. You never said if you're making gains? Throw an extra 5lbs on an exercise every other workout. Push yourself.

Probably the easiest way for you to increase your calorific intake without actually changing what you're eating would be to switch your protein shakes for weight gainers, preferably home made.

Check the recipes forum, there's plenty to choose from, but put simply you'll want something like, Protien powder, oats, natty peanut butter.

My advice would be to first start with the standard 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. Then avarge 3 nice size meals with a snack in between each. Before bed go with a slow acting protein like Casein (either a shake or a cup or more of cottage cheese).

An example of my diet, and others can feel free to critique me as well is as follows.

Waking (around 6 am): Protein shake and a quick acting carb
Between 8:30 and 9:15: a couple hard boiled eggs
10:00-10:30 (this is also my preworkout snack) yogurt sometimes add almonds.
11:00 workout for an hour to an hour and a half
12:00-12:30 protein shake
1:00-1:30 lunch usually a lean cuisine or something
3:30-4:00 tuna or salmon or chicken
6:30 dinner I try to keep this meal as rounded as possible, meat+carb+veggie
If I'm hungry later I'll eat some cottage cheese arouond 9 or so
10:00-11:00 bed time

This is what I've been doing for about the last couple months it's been working, seen gains all around in size and strength. Any suggestions let me know

I love linking to his articles. It's motivation to eat more. Actually today my appetite has been off the hook, 10x10's deadlifts + HIIT sprints will do that too you, even without the TNT stack.
Uhh, yeah! 10x10 of deadlifts. Goood gracious.

here's you ====> :dl: x100

I love this tip..any time you eat yogurt you should be adding in 3-4 massive tablespoons of cottage cheese. Blend it together and it all tastes like the yogurt, plus some great long lasting proteins. I eat 2 of these a day on top of everything else.

not a myth there are studies done on it, but it TEMPORARILY increase LH, but then that returns to normal and estro rises
If you smoke some mary jane every now and then. You'll be fine.

THE FACTS

There is no evidence that marijuana impairs male reproductive functioning.

The Jamaican and Costa Rican field studies detected no differences in hormone levels between marijuana users and non-users.
In epidemiological surveys of marijuana users, no problems with fertility have emerged as important.

In 1974, researchers reported diminished testosterone, reduced sexual function and abnormal sperm cells in males identified as chronic marijuana users. 34 In a laboratory study, the same researchers reported an acute decrease in testosterone, but no chronic effect after nine weeks of smoking; they did not evaluate sperm volume or quality. 35 In other laboratory studies, researchers have been generally unable to replicate these findings, 36 although by administering very high THC doses - up to 20 cigarettes per day for 30 days - one study found a slight decrease in sperm concentrations. 37 In all studies, test results remained within normal ranges and probably would not have affected actual fertility.

Severe adverse consequences have also been produced in male laboratory animals, although only with extremely high daily THC doses. 38

More importantly, in both the human and animal laboratory studies, all observed changes were reversed once THC administration was halted.

I wasn't telling him to smoke pot. I'm an ex-pot head. Weight lifting and pot don't really mix. I was just replying to crazyfool saying it lowers test. Sorry to get off topic.

Acute effects of smoking marijuana on hormones, subjective effects and performance in male human subjects.
Cone EJ, Johnson RE, Moore JD, Roache JD.

Four healthy male subjects smoked two marijuana cigarettes or one marijuana cigarette and one placebo cigarette, or two placebo cigarettes on separate days in a random order crossover design. Each marijuana cigarette contained 2.8% delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Plasma hormones and THC were measured before and after each smoking session. Plasma LH was significantly depressed and cortisol was significantly elevated after smoking marijuana. Nonsignificant depressions of prolactin, FSH, testosterone and free testosterone and elevation of GH also occurred. Concurrent measures of subjective effects via subscales of the Addiction Research Center Inventory, Single Dose Questionnaire and a Visual Analog Scale were generally elevated. Significant impairment on a psychomotor performance task paralleled elevations in subjective effects, hormone effects and peak THC determinations. Although all the hormone effects were within normal basal ranges, interactions between these systems, and their effects on behavior cannot be discounted.

Marijuana extracts possess the effects like the endocrine disrupting chemicals

Abstract

The progesterone 17α-hydroxylase activity, which is one of the steroidogenic enzymes in rat testis microsomes, was significantly inhibited by crude marijuana extracts from Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA)- and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA)-strains. Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol and cannabinol also inhibited the enzymatic activitiy with relatively higher concentration (100–1000 μM). Testosterone 6β- and 16α-hydroxylase activities together with androstenedione formation from testosterone in rat liver microsomes were also significantly inhibited by the crude marijuana extracts and the cannabinoids. Crude marijuana extracts (1 and 10 μg/ml) of THCA strain stimulated the proliferation of MCF-7 cells, although the purified cannabinoids (THC, CBD and CBN) did not show significant effects, such as the extract at the concentration of 0.01–1000 nM. These results indicate that there are some metabolic interactions between cannabinoid and steroid metabolism and that the constituents showing estrogen-like activity exist in marijuana.


Effects of delta 9-THC and castration on behavior and plasma hormone levels in male mice.
Dalterio SL, Mayfield DL, Michael SD, Macmillan BT, Bartke A.

Gonadectomy resulted in a rapid increase in plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, but had no consistent effects on plasma prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) levels. In castrated males, oral administration of THC (50 mg/kg) significantly increased plasma LH levels within hours following surgery and again from 3 to several weeks post-castration, while THC treatment decreased LH levels between 1 day and 2 weeks postcastration. Administration of THC to 12-hour sham castrates significantly increased plasma LH levels. Plasma FSH, PRL and GH levels were either reduced or unchanged by THC. Administration of THC significantly reduced levels of gonadotropins, PRL and GH in intact males. In additional studies, we examined the influence of THC on the negative feedback response of the anterior pituitary to gonadal steroids. In testosterone propionate (TP)-treated castrated males, concomitant administration of THC increased plasma testosterone (T) and LH at 20 min, while plasma FSH levels were elevated after 60 min. In contrast, in intact TP-treated mice, concomitant THC exposure reduced plasma T levels except at 60 min, when plasma LH levels were significantly increased. Testosterone replacement failed to restore copulatory behavior in castrated mice given a single dose (50 mg/kg) of THC. In fact, acute THC administration to these TP-treated castrates resulted in marked sedation, which was not observed in intact mice given the same dose of THC in an earlier study. The present findings indicate that the effects of acute THC treatment on pituitary gonadotropin release is dependent upon the time after castration. Furthermore, THC administration can suppress copulatory behavior even in animals whose peripheral T levels have been maintained. Effects of THC on plasma androgen levels in animals injected with TP suggest that THC can alter the metabolism or target tissue response to gonadal steroids.

Just make sure you eat every 2-3 hours keep protein very high carbs moderate and alot of good fats. Also drink you a casein protien shake before bed nightly and when you wake up eat a fast digesting carb such as a banana with oatmeal to stop the muscle catobalism thats occuring while you sleep. Other than that EAT my brutha!

Typing with quotation would also be very helpful.

Training for 2 hours also seems a bit much.
