How do I eat 12,000 Kilo joules of food per day, Do you have any suggestions?

[Anonymous]

Im very skinny and after doing a little research its comes to my attention that i have to consume 7866 kilojoules per day to maintain my current body weight of 54 kilograms. My height is 178 centimeters. I have to consume an extra 29, 288 Kilo-joules per week to gain a kilo of weight. Thats a wopping extra 4184 kilojoules on top of my daily requirements per day to to reach that goal. Im trying to eat healthy so do you guys have any suggestions of what kind of foods i should be looking out for to consume to meet this goal? If i can manage that i will be gaining a kilogram per week according to what I've read. I know it will be very hard to limit myself to only healthy foods so i will be doing a little bit of mixing with high calorie low nutrient foods like junk foods and fast foods. But overall what do you guys recommend.

Forget this kiojoules crap, count calories brah.

1 calorie is approximate 240 kilojoules.

Here are some high caloric foods;

Peanut Butter
Peanuts
Pasta
Potatoes
Milk
Fish
Meat
Mass Gainer (supplement)

In order to gain weight, you'll have to eat more. It'll be very difficult at first. But you'll have to eat up until you feel like throwing up and then eat more.
Now, the problem with simply eating more is that if you don't train (workout) the extra calories will be stored as fat. So you won't get stronger, you'll simply get fatter.

bro, 4.184 kilojoules = 1 calorie. I dont know where you got 240 from. I've got tuna, carrots, apples, noodles, baked beans, a whole lot of eggs, milk, brown rice and pasta that im eating today in hopes of hitting 12, 000 kj. What do you recommend i should buy as far as the working out part im delaying that till im at least 60-65 kilograms.

Why delay working out?

I don't think you should ever force feed yourself. Just eat til you are full and satiated.

Damn we doing science now. I forget how many joules to a calorie and how many lower case calories to an upper case calorie.
