I tried to eat beforehand for morning sessions.
Unfortunately I throw up if i do.


Best tip i ever got was buckets of brown rice for bulking.
You can do allot with steamed brown rice vedge and herbs/spices.

600 cals of fat, sugar, protein. what is it, a peanut butter shake?
It's a start, but hitting the calories or not will be determined by the other 80% of your diet.

Have you worked out what calories you need to be getting on board and how much you're getting on board in a typical day as it is?

Ya need about 2300-2400 hitting around the 2000 most days. Using my fitnesspal to track. Is the mcds pancakes a bad idea. Gives a big start to the odd day its convenient to have. I do eat reasonably well aside from a chocolate bar and coffee. Porridge, eggs, apple banana turkey roll for lunch. Pasta and chicken for dinner. Protein shake. That would be a typical day. Have smoothies, nuts and so on when I remember to do a full shop

A lot of other posters in this forum would be horrified by the McD breakfast. But it suits your needs here.
From a casual look at you diet, you need more fat. No need to opt for lean meats like turkey and chicken breast on a bulk. Vary it a bit, get the fats in and you find it much easier to hit 2500 cals.
