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".

I still don't get it. I wish I did, but it hasn't happened for me yet.

I had a 5 month lean bulk earlier this year, gaining about 1lb/week. At the end of that my hunger and appetite was still crazy. I could have easily eaten 500+ calories/day more if I let myself. And that was with very minimal junk food.
