There is no magic formula. It is strictly a function of loading calories..... even if it predominantly through your PEG. You are burning 2000 calories a day doing not much. Your brain burns them, your body burns them to move, stay warm, and more. Sitting still you are burning calories. If you eat 2000 calories you stay where you are. If you eat 3000 calories you will add weight, not necessarily lean body mass, but weight. You are gong to have to be aggressive about getting high density calories into yourself every day, and you are going to have to bust the 2000 calorie number regularly. If you have the strength, light exercise will also build back some lean body mass that weigh more than fat. But do NOT over do this, if you burn too much in exercise you are going to defeat the whole formula. Except for the calorie loading, everything else in moderation. If you find that you have to do most of this through your PEG.... be honest with yourself, you are not ready for it to come out. If you can do this without it, the thing is history.
