>tfw bulking
holy shit how do people manage to get fat?
I'm bulking on 3000 kcal, and I can barely keep it all down.
How do you do this /fit/?
lifting weights? i dont understand how you kids can't eat <3500 calories a day. do like 20 minutes of cardio and you'll be able to eat it all if you're actually lifting weights. also dont drink liquids when you eat and eat every 2 hours and span it out between like 8 meals.
>>37081412
What are you eating? Because if it's shitty food that'll do it
>>37081412
Eat bread
>bulking
>hard
lmao
>>37081430
pb&j's are usually how I add on extra calories when my calorie tracker tells me I'm still a few hundred calories short
I had the same feel when I tried to bulk clean.
You forget that there are so many foods out there that while not being the best for you are very calorie dense.
The easiest way I find, is to be snacking on mixed nuts. There are like 800kcal per cup
>>37081423
how the fuck are you hungry every 2 hours
>>37081412
Spread it out throughout the day
You're probably eating protein-heavy foods, which fill you up faster than carb-heavy foods. Plus soft drink can be 300 cals a can, and will do nothing to satisfy hunger.
>>37081423
I run every morning to the gym, followed by a fuckhuge breakfast of around 1200 kcals.
then i do work for the rest of the day and eat lunch and dinner which get me the other 1800 i need.
I always feel like shit afterwards.
>>37081464
soft drinks are expensive as fuck for what they are and not at all good for your teeth.
i'd rather drink water.
>>37081412
as a person who went from skelly to fit to chubby and is now almst back to fit I can tell you it can happen slowly a coke here some cookies there and bam your fat also major lifestyle changes when i left my old job wich I used to bike to i gained 10kg in a year wich im grateful for if i hadnt hit rock bottom i wouldnt have fought so hard to get into the shape of mylife at 30
>>37081412
Years of slow practice. Growing up I was a stringbean and rode my bicycle everywhere. Got married, did the 9-5, didn't have much money to eat right, and definitely didn't have the will power to eat less. I started lifting back in Sep and I think its about time for a cut. Im 6'1" 280 now with a goal of 230.
>>37081412
that poor dog :(
i was relatively thin my whole life
i went into a bulking phase of eating 7-8000kcals CLEAN a day
eat every 2 hours, even if you're not hungry, put down SOMETHING
you get better at it, and really it's not that hard
i was 140lbs 5'10 in high school. not exactly a big guy.
i tried bulking and put on .6 lbs a day on average for 14 days straight. i stopped after realizing my bf % was going up relatively more than i liked.
just eat a lot, many meals throughout the day, force yourself to.
>>37081412
Just work your way up. Count calories.
I'm in the same boat as you
Just space out your meals and they will be more manageable. It's important that you start early. I remember I used to skip breakfast and my first meal at 2 in the afternoon. Now right when I wake up I put 150g of müsli in my bowl with whole fat milk and that's like 800kcal right there in the first hour.
>>37081490
>coke and cookies make you fat
Can we put this in the sticky?
>>37082365
i think thats important, a good point. gets you going for the day, as well.
bulking, i would immediately wake up to a piece of fruit and a protein shake and start cooking eggs
>>37082249
>eating 7-8000kcals CLEAN a day
are you fucking dumb? do you think that you will magically put on muscle if you eat like 3000-4000 calories over your TDEE? Unless you just escaped Auschwitz and you want to put on fat this is completely unnecessary
>>37081490
> a coke here some cookies there
no. persistent eating slightly over your TDEE for years will make you fat.
Why is it so hard for people to track calories
>>37082384
>Not buying Starting Strength 6th edition and doing the Advanced 2nd stage modified microloading phase for 14 months and subscribing to the Wichita Falls Weekly and hiring a milkman to deliver you milk everyday bulking at 7-8k cals
YNDTP
Will eating 3500 be helpful if I plan to have a huge squat after SS?
5'10 165
>>37082384
with all the broscience around, i figured i'd just experiment and see how my body reacts
plus i had been at a plateau on most of my lifts for months
doesn't make me feel stupid, thanks
>>37081464
>bulking on soda
Have fun with you awful life
>>37081412
Beer
Soda
Pringles
Etcetc
>>37081412
>struggling with 500 calories over the normie TDEE
confirmed never making it
>>37081464
>bulking on soft drinks
>>37081412
I feel you breh, trying to escape auschwitz.
what >>37081423 says is bretty gud, when you eat often your stomach works constantly. It ends up digesting shit faster, or at least more efficiently. Common knowledge really.
>>37081457
I'm just hungry every
maybe ur an ectomorph dude
Bulking is hard, no matter what the others say.
A 5'11" male just isn't meant to weigh over 155lbs
>>37083039
False.
If bulking was supposed to be hard, then why are there 4 kcals per 1g carbs and protein and 9(nine!) kcals in a gram of fat? And only 2500 kcalories in a day? And that's before you even get to nighttime drinking...
>>37081412
It's simple,
you eat
the food
>>37083061
>nighttime drinking
errors
>>37081412
>Reading this while cutting
Go into the fridge, open it, and fucking devour everything in there like a god damn black hole
>>37083145
Cutting is easy though.
>>37083159
I have a wallet full of money and there are like 8 restaurants in walking distance.
Cutting's easy when your poor
Bulkig is easy. Cutting is easy too tho.
>>37083172
My grandmother lives with us and she cooks 3 meals every single day. Your restaurants ain't shit compared to that. Get some fucking willpower.
>>37083172
My wallet has $33450 in it right now (one is a check made out to me for 30k). I'm not going to restaurants.
>>37082390
Normies think tracking calories is sick and obsessive. My family constantly makes fun of me for it.
>>37083145
Easier said than done.
>>37083088
I look at that and think I would throw up after the second burger.
>>37081423
That works for most people. I generally eat 4 times a day, on lift days I'll eat 1k calories 4 times and on rest days I'll eat 800 calories 4 times.
>>37083344
You don't need to track calories. You can just track body fat and weight. Increase or decrease portion sizes until they track in the right direction.

kek skelly defected
Take advantage of protein smoothies, you can get those things upwards of 1000 calories depending on what you put in them. Also, time them well.
My day goes,
Protein smoothie as soon as I wake up (just protein, oats, water), 700cal
Brunch, 600cal
Late lunch (because of work) 600 cal
Dinner, 800 cal
Pre-bed meal is whatever calories I need to crack 3000+, usually 6 weet bix for carbs, and a wpc shake. About 400 cal.
>>37081412
How tall are you? Tall guys tend to have high resting metabolism.
pic related: what did the poor puppy eat?
>>37083088
Guy is 6'8", 400 pounds, Bench Press world record... hardly looks like he lifts.
Perfect example of why you NEED to be lean enough to see the muscle if you wanna look good.
>>37083159
lifts going down, soreness up, lightheaded all the time
fuck no
Former fatty here. I can snack on crappy 3500 kcal pizza hut pizzas. When I'm bored I boil a pack of spaghetti, cover it in tomato sauce and groundbeef and devour it one sitting. I can easily eat 5 tostis wiyh ham and 2 kinds of cheese for breakfast and still be hungry.
Is that not normal? Is eating supposed to be hard?
I used to be skinnyfat and I had an easy time eating a shitton of calories, did a bulk and then a 6 month cut and lost 40lbs.
After that cut I've had a legitimately difficult time feeling hungry and I had to use mass gainer to get >3k cals per day.
Now cutting again is easy as fuck since I just cut out the 1k cals from a gainer shake and eat exactly the same as before to go from 500 cals over maintenance to 500 under.

>hardly looks like he lifts
DYEL?

He would absolutely dwarf you and 90% of everyone he meets. I doubt he cares if people think he looks small on camera.
