Thanks guys.

By "recipes" I basically mean anything that's good for bulking, whether it be single foods like bagels or good recipes like chicken breast in honey and chilli sauce. Just anything that'll help me become jacked (can't become tan in Scotland unfortunately).

i thought you just wanted big numbers?
whats your training history like?, and i recommend you track macros everything becomes so much easier when you do.
I've bulked from 63kg to now, what, 90-92kg.

It's easy. I don't think I eat that much either but I'm not sure whether it's fast or slow to gain 27-29kg in 2 years. Damn, when I put it like that it's crazy. Gaining nearly half my bodyweight in 2 years. Lol.

Don't think I've ever said that I'm not interested in getting ****ing swole. I originally started lifting because I was too damn skinny, not so that I could put up bigger numbers than other people in lifts that non-one out actually cares about.

I'm certainly not bothered about becoming a little bit chubby in the process, though, especially if whilst that is going on I'm getting immensely stronger, because a) it's easier for me to lose fat than gain muscle; and b) it's easier to lose fat when you have lots of muscle.

Training history can be found from my log. I would consider tracking my macros but much of the food I eat is either home cooked by my parents or from the student cafe so I can't really unless I bring in my own food, which I plan to do.

When I was 92kg I used to think I was so big and thought I'd only have to cut about 5kg and I'd have abs then I'd be 87kg lean with abs. How wrong I was :frown:
Smack, can't you just eat... more?

I don't really go in for this constant eating thing any more. I eat 3 normal meals, and 3 shakes a day. Just instead of putting 1 chicken breast in your pasta put in 3 instead.

Yeah it's amazing the amount of weight you can lose just by cutting fat. Plus I think mot people underestimate their bodyfat levels

Mad?




Since whenever we did those Wilks coefficients I've gone from 281 to 314. Mirin'?


Edit: You've got to take into account the fact that a high portion of that weight loss isn't really fat loss. It's just water weight and all that crap.

make it your second nature to look at a plate and guess the macros, it's what i usually do, i've never packed food to take around with me, usually just eat out or wait 8 hours or whatever to get home and eat all my cals then.

No because there is often nothing else to eat after my main meals.

I don't make my own meals, though, but I'd like to change this which is why I'm asking for good bulking foods.

I'd also like to enquire more about meals I can take with me to university. At the moment I either go to Burger King, Subway, Greggs or the student union, all of which are expensive for the amounts I need to eat and largely devoid of proper nutrition.

When I cook up lunch (which is usually a chicken breast with rice or pasta or something), I usually just cook x2 and then put the second meal in a tub if I'm working next day. Then I'll just eat it cold. I usually make food for like 2 days in advance and eat cold, makes it so much easier.
Aight here's what I take with me if I gotta be out for the day. Buy loads of chicken breast and some bacon. chop it up, cook it up, and mix it up in a bowl with mayo. Then every day scoop a load of it into some wholemeal bread for sandwiches. I usually make like 3 or 4 days worth at a time.

Plus flapjack. I eat a **** load of flapjack.

You'd be surprised at how accurate some calculators can be if you can be arsed to keep updating them with everything you eat. Ones like MyFitnessPal have just about every imaginable food (including specific sandwiches from Tesco and the like) with its calorie content and macros. They're crap for setting up to actually record something, because they max out at something like gaining a pound a week and aren't very biased towards strength.

However, using them gets you used to macros in foods, calorie contents and having a much better understanding of exactly what to eat to hit the higher calorific intakes you start needing (i.e. 4k etc).

At Burger King it's £2 for a Bacon Double Cheeseburger on a Friday.

Godmode bulking activated.
