The point of the bulk is to get all the calories in, you obviously understand that.

But based on my experience, I prefer to only combine protein meals with carbs or fat. My suggestion would be to get the extra cals in you should build your own weight gainer. You can mix milk, oatmeal, cottage cheese, and some protein to give you the extra cals between the meals.

I am not too worried about fat gain so I purchased a ready made weight gainer and I have that between my meals to give me aprox 4-5k calories.


Here is a tip to save on your meats. What I do is I go to a butcher and request to buy in bulk. I often get 3 dollars off the costco price /kg. I am not sure what your prices are but its something that might help.

When bulking I think its really important to keeps carbs high, it really pays off when training. My goal is to hit 230, and in order to do that I have carbs in every single meal except the last one which is my fats.

Do buy some fishoil to get quality fats in.


The ratio kane suggested is what I follow as well. 40/40/20
