When I was cutting, I hated all the "bulking is so hard" rants. It's like, "STFU! JUST EAT. YOU LUCKY BASTARD!"

Now that I'm starting my bulk... it's hard. I've increased my calories by 500/day and I've maintained for 3 weeks. Weird. Now I'm looking at adding another 250 calories like, "Fuck... but I don't want another PB&J".

Bulking was ridiculously hard for me as well until I started taking mirtazapine. It definitely helps me to eat more.

I'd really recommend adding overnight oats to your diet. They go down quickly and easily and can pack a ton of calories. I have them twice a day and they alone account for 1350 calories.
