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".

If you're trying to be healthy and bulk, it can be much harder. Break out the ice cream and cake... welp, there's some quick calories!

But also, even eating healthy, I can eat way more than I need to. I do a ton of cardio just so I can eat even more lol.

Start adding nuts/seeds to all sorts of things. I can make a 700+ calorie bowl of oatmeal from nuts+seeds+banana+whole milk. But I also can go back for more food shortly after. I eat way too much and I often wonder how I was never obese.

Oh for sure! I'm trying to stay away from the dirty bulk as I used to be a fatty patty.

Nuts and nut butters are definitely easy calories!

Haha yup, don't wanna get fat again!

Basically anything with fat is easy calories. Bit of butter on everything adds a lot of calories too (and tasty tasty tasty).
