I was doing the following on a daily basis:
After getting home from treatment around 11:30AM I eat:
3 soft boiled/scrambled eggs
Carnation instant Breakfast with Choc syrup added to boost the calories
3 tbs of butter
2 cups of coffee

Check emails and take a nap

Around 2:30 PM I have a cup of tea

check emails and take another nap

When my wife gets home from work I eat:

2/3 packs of Ramen noodle soup or other types of soups
Carnation Instant Breakfast with extra choc syrup added to boost the calories

Later at night I have a cup of tea

a lot of water- approx 100 oz. a day
At the end of the day, the least I eat by mouth is 1700 cal. I do not have a peg.
Over the last month I have gone from 1700 cal a day to 2200 cal a day.

I have lost 30 lbs so far.

The rest of the day I am either sleeping or taking my meds and reading.

The above schedule was for the last week when I wasn't working.
