I would start off on 2500 calories and increase by 250/day each week that you don't gain 1lb.

Bumping big here.

Just keep upping the cals until you start gaining.
It takes 3500 calories to gain or lose just 1 lb.
Dont forget to remember how many calories you are eating each day and dont forget to weigh yourself so you know in what direction you are goind.

I bet you will need more than 2500 cals tho for a day.
I take in over 3000 from what I am guessing.

Whats the best stuff thats full of cals guys?

Im planing on getting some mamoth 2500 and that has 900 cals per serving, so that 3 times a day plus loads of other food will this be ok for me?

Cheers

Most of the weight gain stuff is sugar.
That is not really food in my opinion.

Foods that make you gain weight, pasta, bread, potato, rice, etc and in big portions.
But I like to eat protein and carbs and fats together.
Fats are the most calorie dence food of all.

So get to eating.
