Trust me, I feel your pain. Eating is harder than the actual workout. I'm on a diet of 5000cals per day and trust me, sometimes its hard enough to hit 4000.

Best thing you can do is find foods and combinations that have high protein and high carbs, you won't find that in one thing but you need to combine a bunch of shit together. Maybe for breakfast make 6 scrambled eggs with cheese and slap them into 2 or 3 english muffins. Shit like that will help you indefinitely because its got the protein, carbs and fat that you need and not alot that you don't. When you're hitting the high calories (IMO anyway) you can't fuck around and scarf food that will only fill the space in your stomach, you need to be 'strategic' or you won't make the macros and calories every day.

For example, you could eat a bag of rice cakes and be full, but you're not gonna gain muscle eating a bag of rice cakes in place of somehting else.

For the first bit (month or so) I would make a log of eveyrthing you eat and see how you pan out. After that you should be able to figure out if you're hitting the cals and macros 'by eye'.
