gain weight (read all 3 entries…)
Note to self... 2 months ago

Things to improve to gain weight:

  1. Eat more eggs, (boiled eggs are good)
  2. Drink more milk,
  3. Decrease snacks, and increase meals, (5 meals a day is good)
  4. Look into weight gain supplements, maybe protein shakes,
  5. Make sure to have a meal before bed, as this is more likely to stay in the body.

Good luck!

My thoughts

I like raw having lots of raw eggs after a heavy gym workout. It is cheaper than protein supplement.
Sometimes I have difficulty digesting milk. Many if not most people do. I think the pasteurization process kills off the enzymes that help digest milk.
I have snacks and five or six meals most days. I often have fresh crisp crunchy juicy refreshing raw green vegetables as a snack.
Protein supplements are great immediately after a heavy gym workout. At other times expensive protein supplements are often not all that much better than cheaper foods.
I agree that much of a meal before bed is effectively converted to fat as you sleep.

Eggs...

Is it okay to eat raw eggs? What with salmonella etc… I would do it, only what could be the consequences?

Thanks for your input!

I guess it shows my age.

Years ago people were not so concerned about salmonella. As a child I enjoyed an egg flip which was made by breaking two eggs, some milk, sugar and a little vanilla essence into the Semak Vitamizer (blender) and in a few seconds having a delicious drink. We had our own hens and a cow on the property and had fresh milk. It was not pasteurized.
These days the sale of raw milk for human consumption is prohibited in many places, and some restaurants will not cook eggs the way I like them (with soft yokes) because they are afraid of salmonella.
OK I am probably not allowed to recommend raw eggs. I do admit that I still enjoy them.

Thanks for your honesty!

It’s always good to hear what others have done before, and I appreciate your honesty. I may just consult my doctor before having raw eggs though.

Thanks again for your help!
