I'm 15 95lbs and i've been eating 2000 calories to bulk. Is it enough? Also, how can i increase my appetite because whenever i try to push myself further my gag reflex kicks in.

Oh, and the appetite thing takes time and consistent eating. The bigger you get and the longer you eat at surplus, the more used to eating at surplus your body will get and it will be easier to eat it. Once you get to the point where you have to cut you'll miss force feeding because being hungry is worse. lol

Well, height is irrelevant, but yeah. Even though you weigh 21 lbs more than him, it's a good assumption that your maintenance would probably be a good bulk for him. Still though don't dirty bulk and eat an unnecessary surplus of calories. You'll just gain more fat in the long run than you would have if you bulked clean and slow. Muscle can only accumulate so fast. So like I said, wait 2 weeks, if no gains are made, 300-500 caloric increase.

One thing I see that wasn't mentioned. Are you paying attention to your protein intake? Because 2000 calories or even a 500 surplus won't do as much as it could IF you took a great amount of protein. But for your daily caloric needs, don't eat junk food. Naughty. Also, take a whey protein. Great way to get that boost!

2000 hah, try 4,000 atleast if you are really serious about bulking then you have to be eating ALOT, and whenever i was bulking from 150-195 i would get that gag reflex too. i started viewing eating as a workout aswell, if you get that gag reflex take a 5 min break and then try to power down more food, it all comes down to how bad you want it
bench 285x5
dead lift 440x8
squat 375x5

I suggest starting at around 2500 cals as your base line. From there adjust accordingly. When I started bulking a month ago, I ate around 2700 calories and within 2 weeks I gained around 4 pounds. However I started becoming more active, so I raised it to around 3100 cals now. Been gaining 1 lbs a week consistently for a few weeks now.

depends on your metoblism, are you gaining or losing while at 2k?
if losing up by maybe 200 if gaining reduce by 200, it all depends on your goalsDisclaimer: The above post is my personal opinion and does not represent the official position of any company or entity. It does not constitute medical advice.

Try it out for a couple of weeks. If you are gaining slowly, keep it at 2000. Once you stop gaining, raise your calories by another 300. Oh and don't eat 4000 calories a day. That's just an excuse to get really fat unless you have a crazy metabolism.

If you're talking to me, STFU.. his BMR is about 1400 calories, and his daily expenditure may be anywhere from 1700 if he barely does any exercise - 2200 calories if he's killin it in the gym 5 days/wk. Anyone with half a brain will tell you he likely needs more than 2000 calories to bulk at a steady rate.

Well considering I bulked up from 125 at 2300 calories, it should probably be less for him. That really just depends on your metabolism though. Some kids my age can eat 3000+ calories and not gain weight. That's why I said he should just test it out. If he isn't gaining, then just eat more. It wouldn't hurt him to overestimate his calories though.
