Ari, if you have a blender, you would be surprised at what all your imagination can come up with. I try anything that is reasonable, put it in the blender and make it liquid. I really haven't gained weight but do get some needed nourishment. Get some muscle milk at the drug store or maybe GNC, just add water and shake it up. It does help and it is very helpful if you work out at all, even if you are sitting in a chair doing it.
