People always say if your diets not right you will not achieve your goals... My question to you is whats on your grocery list? What food do you eat while cutting, what food do you eat while bulking?
You can give me your laundry list of food... or just one or two. My diet has been on par the last 3-4 weeks, and I am getting sick of the same things daily. Let me know what you get.

For me what helps best is finding calorie free sauces. Franks Hot sauce or a bbq sauce I get is calorie free(forgot the brand name though). Use it on alot of things, chicken breast, eggs, steak. Eat alot of brown rice, jasmine rice, oats and whole wheat bread.

There are alot of elitists that focus way to much on one aspect of training and make no gains. Tons of guys have amazing diets on paper but weigh 150-60-70 pounds and really arent doing well for their age/years training. The important thing is to
1. Unless it is a priority (if you have cardovascular disease/diabetes/etc) do not immediately make huge changes in your diet, you will most likely not stick to a bulk or diet if you have to go extremely out of your way to do so, you may also shock your body become sick and not be able to train for a period of time.
2. For the average person looking to get stronger/ in better shape its ridiculous to think youll make progress eating chicken/string beans/ and baked sweet potatoes all day. Before people say "those are all great foods" yes that is true but unless you are planning on competiting in a competitive sport that requires crazy conditioning (MMA/bodybuilding) forcing yourself to eat foods you may not like, take away from social outings, force you to eat when you either arent hungry/ or not eat when you are hungry, you are simply gonna become demovited which will make it harder to lose or gain weight.
3. Bulking-eat, dieting-do not eat. Now obviously these rules seem general but they are good rules to follow. What i mean by bulking-eat, if you are hungry eat, if you see something that looks good eat, if you havent eaten 6 well put together meals each day..... EAT. Now dieting-do not eat, obviously to build muscle you need to eat, and to lose fat at the same time makes it even harder, on any diet your gonna haev to cut down food so what im mean by do not eat is, If your full do not eat, if you already ate and something looks good (candy, cake, cookies) do not eat, if you think something is going to add unncessary fat do not eat it.
With that said heres some things the average person can eat to either bulk or diet.
Bulk-dairy products such as milk and cheese will add fat calories and protein to any meal.
Red meat- high in protein high in calories
Pasta- Its normally pretty easy for most people to down, high in carbs and pretty good protein.
Peanut butter- high in fat calories and protein
Fastfood- usually very good macronutrients lots of calories
Chili- can be very calorie dense, high carbs protein and fats easy to make and carry
Sweets- high in calories
Fruits- nutritious and calorie dense
whole eggs-protein dense
Diet-chicken filling low calorie high protein
Plain salad filler, good source of fiber
Whole grain products- good source of carbs
greek yogurt- 0 fat high protein
Tilapia or other low calorie fish low calorie high protein
Subway 6 inch sandwhiches on the go- high protein decent carb filling
Oatmeal- good carbs, filling
egg whites- good source of protein
