having trouble reaching calorie goal

[soheil25]

im currently lean bulking at 3000 calories and i have trouble getting calories from healthy foods. this is going to be more of a problem when university starts. i still do 3000 calories a day but its painful with lower calorie foods lol. macros are in check, any tips?

[KobiDC]

easy. stop looking at foods as unhealthy and healthy, and eat the foods you enjoy while fulfilling your nutritional requirements.

try a chocolate bar if you're low on calories.

Eat nuts they are packed with calories.Also try to have some fats in your meals healthy fats like sunflower seeds they are also packed with calories and are easy to eat.

alright man will do

[WatsonS90]

Once you've hit your protein requirements then just eat more food rich in fats, such as PB, Ice cream, Pizza etc.

You'll reach your calorie so much easier as 1g of fat is 9 calories.

This!
they are just the same, but still i recommend eating from non processed source food
healthy food become important when cutting because u already in calorie deficit

Peanut butter and milk. Lot's of calories and healthy.

[ZondaR]

I usually eat almonds, dark chocolate and coconut oil if I need to boost my calories.

50g almonds : ~300 calories
3 pieces of dark chocolate : ~160 calories
tablespoon of coconut oil : ~130 calories

Total: almost 600 calories

no hate bro but if you're looking for gains in the gym and energy this is pretty terrible advice


also how do people have trouble hitting 3k?

also how do people have trouble hitting 3k?

its a question i ask myself in every other thread i read in this section

[Meadey]

didn't even have trouble eating 5.5k idk what it's like with 7.5k
brb losing 2lbs each week eating 3.6k lmao

[petertuck]

if i eat just enough to not be hungry its like 5-6k

so when i go in a thread where some kid is like 'omg help im really struggling to get my 2k in today' im just like wtf, if i pretty much starved myself id still be eating much more than that

[petertuck]

++ eating 7.5k is easy if you dont have a self imposed eating disorder like the kids here, ive eaten 9k before without realising

[mmafighter1294]

I just personally don't enjoy eating. Whether I'm hungry or full, eating is a chore. But it's getting better in the past few weeks since I've quit smoking weed and cigs.

edit: that being said, I still have no problem getting in 4k+ a day

not sure if mirin
food costs must be pretty high

And we've all seen how that ends.
You look like chit

No.

OP, easy solutions. Whole milk in your protein shakes. Hell throw in some all natty peanut butter. I've never done this as I have no problem eating everything in sight. But if you get all natty pb and don't refrigerate it and just mix it before each time you need it I think it would mix up fine. Idk? Bagels with peanut butter on them is an easy high calorie snack. If you want a little cheat food have it. In my opinion the more quality food you put into your body the better. You could bulk on Doritos if you wanted to. But I guarantee your body knows the difference between brown rice and organic chicken and processed ****ty carbs from Doritos.
