You workout in the morning? Then go with whatever you have time to digest and is going to make carbs AND protein availible in time for you workout. Doesn't sound like you have super quick digestion so you prob want a pre workout shake if you workout is first thing. Better yet, imo, if you're flexible move you workout up so you have time to fuel up better plus have a pre shake. Cuz, ideally, the answer to your question would be eggs AND oatmeal. Or, a shake, then eggs and oatmeal.

It sounds like you're working on your appetite while at the same time you may be worried about putting on fat....that's a psychological block that could sabatoge you.

Even though you don't eat much do you tend to keep on fat anyway? I can understand how hard that could be. But the bottom line is you've got to get your calories into gain land like 0311 said. You'd be much better off CONCENTRATING on moving up you calories to a predetermined level and see how you gain. If you start to gain an unexceptable level of fat then you can adjust. And you haven't even considered the macronutrient ratio yet which, although I'm no expert, can make a big difference in fat gain...

It's all about nutrient partitioning. Get some fish/flax oil also if you can...you need it for proper fatty acid motabolism.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
