140 to 180. I did that over a period of 2 years.
It is possible, and only possible by being smart about it. I was a cyclist, and I needed to stop in order to not burn all the fuel I was eating.
Start with 3 meals + 2 shakes a day. To make shakes easy, buy something like EAS myoplex or something like that. After that is a habit, move to 4 meals + 2 shakes a day. The key is eat good, not burgers and pizza, but lean meats, veggies, fruits, etc. Gaining is as much about carbs as it is protein, and fats.
It worked for me. I got to 6-7 meals a day including shakes. I was working out 5 days a week - balanced between easy and hard. I was sleeping 8 hrs a night and drinking close to 1-1.5 gallons of water a day.
The key: get professional help, a trainer (even if its to get started), and a nutritionist (to guide the calories in the right direction.
