Skinny guy losing weight

You need to count calories for those 3 meals a day.

3 meals a day can easily be 1,000-1,500 calories.

Anyway easy, really easy way to put on weight.

Whole milk, peanut butter, protein powder, banana, table spoon or two of olive oil.

Blend that shit up in a blender and you can reach 1,000 calories in a drink easily.

I used that twice a day to go from 135 to 175 when I did my first ever bulk.

Plus you then have your normal meals, just be wary of putting on fat instead of muscle if you’re not exercising much.

I was gaining a lot of weight with my own homemade mass gainer shake.

1 cup of whole fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup of a liquid of choice (whole milk for maximum gains), 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 1 banana, 1-2 scoops of protein powder, and 1/2 cup of oats (optional, but definitely helps with gaining weight).

I prefer this to typical mass gainer powders because it’s mostly whole food and much better for you. I’ve read those mass gainers they sell have a lot of shit in them. Also this one has 3-4 good sources of protein and fat which is gonna help you meet your daily requirements faster. Let me warn you though that if you add the oats to it you will definitely feel extremely full for like four hours the first few times you drink this shake. Eventually your body gets accustomed to it and you can knock it back without any issues.

Hope this helps with your gains. I’m currently recovering from a shoulder surgery. Haven’t been able to work out since early September :/

Right now I eat 3 meals a day but am still losing weight.

Get your thyroid hormones checked. May have low grade thyroiditis.

The caf food at my Uni is nauseating I come from a really health strict family and the fried garbage they serve everyday upsets my stomach and I feel my arteries clogging up.

Unless you're shorter than average, at 150 lbs, that's not your problem. Have some goddamn french fries sometimes to get some body weight. It's actually good for you in this case because you're not eating enough calories. Sounds like you're freaking out because your parents were picky eaters who were bossy about it, more than anything.

Doesn't the cafeteria have a salad bar?

If you have a family history of heart disease, talk to a doctor and get some low-dose statins. These lower the cholesterol level in the blood.

What kind of healthy snacks would you recommend? I have cliff bars right now but they’re pretty solid and sometimes hard to eat.

(Don’t have any kitchen amenities besides a small fridge and a microwave).

Might consider getting a toaster oven. Only issue is they can be a bit smoky if you don't clean crumbs off the bottom like you should. Not great in a small college bedroom.

In college I'd often buy a couple small sized yams/sweet potatoes. The orange kind. Then some sour cream, and chili or red beans. Stab some steam holes in the sweet potato then microwave on medium for 10-15 minutes. Or cut in half bake in toaster oven for 35. Used to be, you could get a week worth of dinners for 10$ this way, but prices have gone up since the early 2000's so I dunno.

Pasta was my go to for bulking. Cheap and can easily just pound it down with some tomato sauce.

if you don't have diverticulitis consider nuts. (walnuts, pecans) they have a lot of clean calories (via fat) some protein and not too many carbs (cashews and pistachios have more, if you want more carbs) and can be self-roasted and spiced to save money and customized.

buy them raw in bulk
season them and roast in walnut/avacado oil in an oven at your uni, not in the dorm room, but some central oven ask for access.
portion them into known sizes (ie: 650 calories are in 1 cup of shelled walnuts; more if you add oil and roast)

I needed to 'supplement' with an on-the-go healthy snack to keep my calories up to keep gaining muscle, and nuts were my answer.

I have a few favorite recipes (red pepper flakes+stevia for sweet and hot pecans; or rosemary+seasalt walnuts), I buy in bulk from a local store (ie: 10# bags) and roast several cookie sheets at a time. then portion into ziploc bags and wrap in foil to keep UV away.

Try ON Mass Gainer. It’ll give you a 1600 calories on top of your 3 meals a day.

"But mass gainer are hard to drink" "But I..." "But this..."

Stop giving stupid reasons, they are valid, so? Work around them.

Dude, you work on what you have on hand, I don't believe your Caf served all garbage food, TALK to the server and ask for replacement for certain unhealthy stuff with veggies/meat or whatever that you can eat. Or better run for Student's Council President and change the cafeterias.

Keep trying different strategy and find the one that works.

Mass gainer if you can afford but that's the last resort. C'mon dude you can do better than healthy snacks, those are for health junkies who want to live a tasteless until they are 100.

Costco Parmesan crisps. Low carb crunch. Protein powder.

Drink your calories. Downing a 1000-calorie smoothie is easy

scoop protein powder
1/2 cup yogurt
2 tbsp nut butter
1 tbsp hemp seeds
2 eggs
1 cup berries
1 cup oats

boom, there's 1000 calories
