If I can't get enough calories, should I just give up on "clean" bulking and stuff myself on cookies and sodas?
Sure. Counting macros is for faggots anyways

If you only care about building muscle sure, it'll work if you get enough protein
If you care about your health you'll just eat roasted unsalted nuts, whole milk, brown rice, and cheese

I'm eating unsalted nuts and drinking whole milk. I also eat pasta, but I am having tons of troubles.
Actually not such a bad idea, OP. You still need to eat "clean" to a large degree, but 400-500 calories a day can be easily substituted with junk. Personally, when I was getting out of skellington mode, I used to make peanut butter & chocolate milkshakes in my blender just to force myself to gain weight. I've moved past that now though, but it takes a surprising amount of time to accustom yourself to eating more.

I feel sick all the time right now. I need to eat at least 3.5k calories to gain weight...

There's no such thing as "clean" or "dirty" foods. It's all made of carbs, proteins, and fats. The only reason cookies are considered dirty food is because they are very calorie dense but nutritionally poor. You can lose weight eating nothing but cookies if you maintain a caloric deficit, but you'll be very hungry and malnourished.

Literally this OP
Im in the same boat OP. I am eating nutrient dense foods and I am having trouble meeting both macro and calorie goals. Carbs and fat are easy enough, but protein is expensive...
