Try smaller and more frequent meals spaced throughout the day. Such as
six meals instead of two or three. Four of those meals could be big
milkshakes/blender drinks since it's easier to *drink* a thousand
calories versus eating a thousand calories.

No, not booze. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread: whole milk.
Ovaltine will add vitamins and extra calories to your milk at a
fraction of the cost of any MegaSuperUltra drink, too. Fruit juices
will increase your caloric intake quickly as well.

Best of luck.

Yes it does - take it around (say shortly after) training. You can
search this group for references.

You really shouldn't be drinking chicken.

I don't know about that, I find the Poulet '87 a vintage to crow
about, while the Volaille '69 is exciting any way up!! ;o)

Have a great weekend - I am!! ;o)

Eating foods which have a high glycemic index (google glycemic index if you
dont know what that is) will generally increase the insulin response and
will eventually lead to increased appetite.

Try consuming less fibre if you want to feel less full. You need to focus on
eating foods that have a low satiety index (i think).

Heres a good link to read about hunger:

Those arent bad, but for a finer palate (like mine) nothing beats a fine
glass of '75 Rhode Island Red. I also believe there was even a "lite"
version of this but forget the name, but it was one of the "Bantam"
vintages...

Marijuana is an excellent appetite stimulant, without the hangover. :-)

I've dabbled with it, and while it does give me the munchies just like
booze. I have a feeling it may effect my grades (and my bank balance).

Plus I don't want to wind up in jail getting buggered by bigger boys...
the hangover almost sounds good now.

A couple hours before you go to bed, get out a carton of eggs, a jug
of milk, and a glass. Crack an egg into the glass, cover with milk,
and swallow down in one gulp. Repeat until full. The quicker you do
it, the more you can get down before you feel stuffed.

Is there any danger in eating raw eggs?
How well can can they be digested?
How high is the risk for salmonella, or other parasites?

I recall a media hysteria a while back about serving fried eggs with runny
yolks being a danger, and restaurants cautioned against the practice.

While I have a great deal of disdain for the safety freaks of all kinds,
what is the real danger in eating raw eggs?

Yeah, risk is never zero, but I haven't gotten sick yet. And I'm a
little bit annoyed with this pussification of America bandwagon that
everyone insists on jumping on. When I's a kid, we didn't wear
bicycle helmets, either, we knew how to take a fall, dammit!

And what's all this pussification gotten us? Fat and lazy and afraid.
So afraid that a teacher can no longer discipline an out-of-control
five year old child, but has to call the cops to take her away with a
plastic tie around her hands, and her feet shackled in handcuffs. I
suppose she'll have to show a doctor's script for Ritalin to be
allowed back into school now.

Oh, and there is some evidence that digestibility *may* be slightly
lower if you eat mostly egg whites, but I make up for that with
volume, so I don't see what the problem is. I'm not aware of any
parasites that occur in eggs. Guess you could cut your salmonella
risk to zero if you cook them til done, but I for one have a very hard
time eating many that way.

I hear ya. It's reflected in our politics as well.

Anyhow, here's a way I've tried raw eggs that makes them go down well;

Put the egg in a glass, cover with orange juice, and add some honey. Drink
up.
