I'm a thinner guy (5'10 165lb), i have a consistent lifting routine and i've been hitting a wall lately, looking to add muscle mass through increased diet, but it's easy to get sick of eating pounds of ground beef and dark meat chicken

anyone have recipes for good 1000+ calorie meals that don't take excessively long to put together?

Baked potato 300 cals
1/2 c shredded cheese 250 cals
tbs butter 100 cals
2 pieces bacon 100 cals

That’s 750 cals there. Pair with your protein.

Ribeyes and pork butt are great calories dense proteins

I see that smoothie and raise.
Been drinking this for years with a couple of additions. Meal replacement after a workout or long run.

Milk
Splash of OJ
1/2 cup of oats
1 tsp Chia Seeds
1 tsp Flax Seeds
5 spoon fulls of Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Banana
Handful of Spinach
Spoon of PB
6 strawberries
1/2 cup of blueberries
2 pieces of mango and 2 pieces of Pineapple
Scoop of Protein
Dash of Coconut Oil

I think it is about 50-60 grams of protein without the scoop.

One of my favorite comfort meals:

Get a monster ~10oz chicken breast and sear it then cover it with Ragu Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sauce and let it cook for 22-25 minutes at a temp where the sauce barely bubbles. Then put it on top of rice and pair it with your favorite veggie or two. I eat it with 2 cups of cooked white rice so there are a lot of carbs.

Chicken 10oz 300 cal ~60g of protein
Sauce 3/4 cup 270 cal 24g fat 9g carb 3g protein
Rice 2 cups 400 cal 90g carbs 9g protein

So around a 1000 cal plus your veggies and a little over 70g of protein. It isn't going to match a high protein meal replacement but it is great to wake up a body that is beaten down from training. If you want to eat cleaner you can make your own alfredo but it takes more time.

Be aware I am a cyclist so white carbs are my friends.
