How do you guys bulking eat so much?!
Seriously?! I started lifting in February and have made great gains for the time I've gotten back into it. I started monitoring my calories very closely over a month or so ago and saw I was taking in about 2,000 calories... ok that's a bit low so I bumped it up to 2700 calories a day which a bit harder but I just switched out things I was eating (lean chicken for salmon, more red meat, etc). I was considering bumping it up a little further but geez... is my stomach ever going to adjust to eating so much every day?! I don't know that I can bump it up to 3000 calories a day without feeling stuffed non stop even if I decided to pull the trigger on it. I just don't know that I've been seeing the gains I've hoped for over the past few weeks at 2,700 so I've been considering it.
Anyone else out there around 6' tall 170lbs with some input to give me? Should I be more patient or just attempt to find clever ways to sneak calories in? Some input would be appreciated, honestly.
edit for clarification: I'm eating "clean" not dirty or junk food!
