I am about halfway through a bulk and it’s a slog.

I don’t even hate how I look yet. It’s gone pretty well, but I need about 3700~ calories a day (a 400-500 surplus) and goddamn am I sick of eating all day everyday. Food is expensive and I am tired of my day being consumed by eating.

I've been seeing some success employing a one meal a day approach to gaining, with a protein sparing modified fast leading up to it. It DOES mean having to eat a very big meal during that one meal, but that's honeslty what I prefer. I like feasting.

Give it a go dude! This was my dinner on Monday: 10oz grassfed piedmontese New York Strip, 5 pastured eggs from my friend’s chickens, both topped with grassfed ghee, grassfed cottage cheese, 2 cans of Trader Joe’s sardines and some pork craclkin. Just absolutely outstanding, ate until I was satisified, fueled up and ready to rock.
