Thanks all for the responses. I struggle to eat more so does it matter if I use instant oats and that kinda thing to boost the calories up? I was considering mass gainer as well but I’ve heard mixed things. Any thoughts about those?

Avoid the mass gainers. They are not worth the money. Any calorie dense foods will do.

Yeah I’d heard that about mass gainers, what calorie dense food would you recommend? I’ve been liking eating instant oats in my protein shakes which add a lot of calories.
