I have a really physical job and I have been seriously struggling to actually capitalize on weight distribution. According to a web calculator and some gym people I talked to I need a daily intake of 3100-3400 calories to actually put on weight. I don’t know how I could eat that much physically and financially. I’ve been trying to up my intake and eat lots of ice cream, but I’m so used to eating like 1800 calories and I’m essentially not hungry for the day by like 2400.

Update:

I just counted today’s calories:

100 - dd coffee
110 - dd hash browns
540 - dd egg sandwich
400 - aldi calzone
220 - protein shake with whole milk
480 - 4 aldi swiss rolls
———
1850 - total

I dunno how I’m gonna squeeze another 1300 calories in. Maybe I’ll drink 7 protein shakes tomorrow.

and drink more very sugary drinks (soda)

i heavily disagree. it will give you diabetes and also caries. both are very bad. do not drink sugary drinks in large amounts.

just for reference:

soda typically has around 0 g protein, 10 g carbs (of which 10 g sugar), 0 g fat per 100g
milk typically has around 3.5g protein, 5 g carbs (of which 5 g sugar), 3.5 g fat per 100g

so the calories of soda comes exclusively from sugar; while for milk only about 33% of calories come from sugar. large amounts of sugar are bad, that causes diabetes. better drink milk than soda.

Normally I'd agree, but this person is doing an active job so the exercise can probably absorb the empty calories. The problem of high sugar drinks is that most people don't live an active enough lifestyle to immediately use the sugar, but I don't think that's so much of a problem here.
