I have a friend with cancer who is losing weight from secondary 
effects quite apart from the cancer proper.
He is seeking to put on weight rapidly between chemotherapy cycles.
Anyone got better advice than lashings of steak and mashed potato? 
(which is what I immediately thought of and is what in fact he 
suggested too).

Google and recent reports says caffeine plus sugar taken at once tends 
to build fat faster than otherwise

BUT caffeine raises cortisol and stress levels so probably unwise.
