Ewa - have you tried whey protein shakes? This is one of the few things that helped me gain weight.

The interesting thing about this study for UC'rs is not about lowering the calories but increasing resistant starch....I am also struggling to gain weight, but I use organic pumpkin seed powder at the moment. Delicious, affordable and contains the full spectrum amino acid profile including the essentials. It should be consumed before and after some resistant training to gain muscle mass. The last thing you want to do is replace muscle tissue with fat.

Guardian - i've bought whey protein from the USA overpaying for the shipment immensely and it's turned out that my uc doesn't tolerate it (i mean whey protein, not the price :). Soon after that, I've found out i could buy the same protein in Poland for one third price and without shipment costs, that's my typical flair for businesses :)

Bummer... could it be the additives causing the issues? I know many brands load up on stuff like soy lecithin, maltodextrin which cam be problematic for some people. I think most of whey protein is marketing hype, though there are some good brands.

Best.
