    Here goes...I am 34, 6'2" and weigh only 165. I need to gain at least 20 pounds by the end of June of this year. I'm a picky eater and only eat once a day. Outside of 55 pound dumb-bell curves I do not work out. Is there something I can do to gain a lot of weight?

    Try nutritional supplements definatly, along with consumeing more dense foods!
    - Ensure Plus/ Boost Plus are great nutritional weight- gain supplements and are healthy with the benefit of probiotics/ omega 3's/ 8+ essential nutrients/ a source of calcium and protein!
    Consume either Ensure Plus, or Boost Plus twice per day, ontop of dailey regimes/ eatting- do not decrease.
    (Chocolate flavours taste best heated in a mug in the microwave- tastes like hot chocolate, other flavours taste best chilled.)

    Also try these dense food's!

    Whole dairy
    - 3%- Whole milk
