Bloods gone wrong!

[HelpMeBulkPeople!]

Received my blood test kit in the post yesterday proceeded to open it and use it as the instructions directed ( finger prick test )
But for how much blood they need from my FINGER is quite shocking and what's worse is I was only able to draw enough blood to fill half the test tube...! And they only give you 4 pricking instruments! You can imagine my frustration. So I sent it off regardless attached with an email telling them the troubles I've had, they've been good enough to send me a second test.

Is there any secret science to drawing more blood from the finger? Other than massaging and hot water.
Any advice

i would never do such a thing. i get bloods done by going into a lab and having them draw it from my arm. takes all of 5 minutes

They had an option to either go to a clinic, use a venous or finger prick test.... the finger prick is most convenient for me.

1) Squeeze that bitch finger hard
2) Pin another finger or two

Doesn't sound fun. I would probably just do the lab option next time.

I've just received the other test, I'll give it another go if all fails I'll go down the clinic...
changing the subject, I've been eating good colourful whole foods, good meals but managing to hit my calorie target is proving to be hard... how can I up the calories while staying relatively clean....
i feel like I'm eating my self into a hole lol hard for an ectomorph

Eat more calorie dense healthy foods.

As an ectomorph, you want to eat clean, but you also need the calories.

Whole eggs, baked potatoes, almonds, lean grass fed beef, wild caught salmon etc. etc.

Instead of eating celery as a vegetable (which is very low calorie) eat green peas.

Instead of eating plain brown rice, add some olive oil on top.

Things like that
